Here's the deal: I have a 1-year-old wooden storage building, well-built, 12x16. Probably weighs 2500 lbs (guessing). We are moving into the house that goes with it, and I really need to move it befo

A few years back I bought a used storage building (8X16) from a guy 20 miles me. I called a local auto towing company (one with a large flatbed that angles down to pick up a car) and had him move it.

Rex, Since this might be a bit large for the tow truck, my thought was to find a farm trailer, jack it up, drive the trailer underneath, and I'm sure you know the rest. -- Brian C. Kennedy Email kenn

Around here (San Diego) there are a number of companies who sell/lease used Sea-train containers as storage buildings. These folks have specially built trucks which look similar to a large flat bed

I would guess it's heavier than 2500 lbs. I just completed a 10x16 shed and offloading the raw materials, I'm convinced I went way over that. Nevertheless, I once moved a smaller shed by using two 4x

My best ideas: 1 - a small trailer that I can slide under it after jacking it up. Tow vehicle access would be iffy this might be the best option... but attach a trailer hitch to the front of your veh

I had not thought of using plywood for a skid surface. Biggest concern with dragging it is that the 4x4s don't look like they'd take much abuse, particularly across their direction of travel. I had a

Rex, if the building was built in place, it may not survive the move. You may want to add a bunch of internal supports and braces inside the shed to hold it together for the move. (maybe just 2 cross
