Sheds can be very difficult to maneuver around by yourself. However, there are some tricks that can make it much easier. You can use a garden tractor, four-wheeler, or truck to easily pull it around and I'll show you some nifty trick to keep it in one piece while you move it. This will work for small to large garden sheds that have a solid floor. You don't need any special tools and can do this all by yourself will little effort.

Done similar with my pick up truck. Usually on sheds there are 4x4s on the bottom of the actual floor framing. I jacked the front up with my floor Jack high enough to wrap my chain around the 4x4s and looped it around my trailer hitch and boom! I’m gone! Worked great to move about 150 feet. Turned well and when to the area I wanted, re-jacked it, removed the chain, blocked the front. Then moved to the back and jacked it to level with front blocked it and done. No damage. Less than 10 minutes start to finish. Nice job man. You got it where ya wanted it!

My 12x20 (3000lb) shed sits on 15 3" metal pipes and I need to move shed to build a shop. My plan was to tear the shed down later to reuse the lumber for the new shop. I do have to remove all my belongings to make it as light as possible. I have a 12,000lb badlands winch I can use plus a few bottle jacks. I also have a small Kubota l2501 I can use. Thanks for the video.

@@appalachiandiy2415 Just sat down from doing it. I chopped a steel bar in half and drilled the holes through the skids. My 34 hp tractor lifted the 12 X16 barn without difficulty. In low gear the shed slid across the ground like butter out of the woods. I parked it in front of my big permanent barn for a final cleaning before putting it up for sale. Thank you very much for your video. It saved me a few bucks and some unnecessary steps.

@appalachiandiy2415
@appalachiandiy2415 3 роки тому
Same Way. Dont tilt as high and run it like that. You could double the runner skid and it will wear away but not crazy fast. if you did it on wet pavement after it rained it would be even better.

yes/no. yes it twists a little in transit but if your base is flat it will go back to where it first was.

Oh my, this was exactly what I needed to see. Have an older 10x12 shed that needs moved about 50 yds in the next couple months to be repurposed as a chicken coop, but pretty hilly/rough ground in spots and tightish turns. Big tractor to use though. Did you ever get hung up? Your shed seemed to stand-up to being pulled and twisted on that slope. Nice video, thanks again! If I remember, I'll let ya know how it goes.
@mistymountainmiss
@mistymountainmiss 2 роки тому
Update.. shed moved successfully and is now housing chickens. No issues with twisting or bowing of the frame, just took it slow. Honestly, I'm super surprised how smooth it all went. The "worst" part was rutting out some spots in the grass, no biggie. Thanks again for the idea.
