Move Storage Buildings Sign In/Join

Hello Friends,

There are several ways to move storage buildings. If you're moving it a long distance, you'll do it differently than moving it to a different place in the yard. Long-distance moving requires that you put it on a trailer. The same techniques used in moving storage buildings around the yard help you get the building on the trailer. It can work on smaller storage buildings but in this case, it moved an 8 by 12 foot building. This technique requires several helpers so get a case of your favorite beverage to lure people into helping you.

Best Regards
Dabney Walker

and to think we welcomed a spammer into our community.... sheesh.....

Dabbie, dear..... we ask and answer questions about gardening here.... no one drops by and tells us how to do something that we really don't need advice on, and especially with an advertisement for a website, too.... take your stuff somewhere else...it's not welcome, allowed or accepted here.....you've been reported....

And another report!

And gee whiz...I've moved a storage building by myself. You need a stablized shed/building, something to attach either a cable or chain to on the building (down low), 2 pipes longer than the building is wide (4"-6" around) and something to pull it with...tractor, truck even a car will work if you have a trailer hitch.
Two of us have loaded one onto a trailer...same principel, just one person to work a come-along and the other to move the pipes.

I'm surprised that more of us didn't get the usual 'don't feel right' about this one in the beginning.... looking back, it was everything BUT obvious......
