Help moving a shed

[Pat M]

Looking for someone to help me move a shed about 35' on my property, its about 10×12. Was hoping to do this with some pipes and roll down the small slope to its final spot.

My neighbor and I moved his chicken coop with schedule 40 4" pipe and a floor jack.
Once you get it on enough pipe. It rolls very easy.

My problem is the "and I" I'm old and not very spriy any more. Health issues.

Moved one similar used 4" round fence post , but pvc pipe works too . 3 people 2 to push 1 to move poles or pipes as travels. Small tractor or even truck even easier.

Is the shed empty?

If it is and it's on relatively level ground the whole distance of the move, a jack or pry bar to lift the shed onto the first pipe and then 3 or more lengths of 3" or 4" PVC pipe the width or more of the shed, plus 2-3 adult men should be all you need. One person moves the pipes back to front while others move the building, keeping it on at least 2 pipes the whole move. As the building rolls off each pipe, the pipe mover relocates the pipe to the front of the building and then the building is moved forward again, keeping it on at least two pipes the whole way.

I live in Kannapolis near Lake Concord, but I'm 81 and have too much wrong with me to be of much help, but I have moved small buildings like this several times in my life, even doing it alone. It's easy if conditions are right and you plan the path and equipment needed well.

Then there's the Amish way

If the shed is on proper skids, and the skids are not too far apart, you might be able to use a towing company with a roll-back wrecker. That’s how I moved my shed, but it was only 8 feet wide. It cost $100 and I didn’t break a sweat or hurt my back!

Thank you, I have watched a bunch of videos showing the procedure and my only difficulty is that it is going down a smaller slope but afraid of it running away.

I think we'll have to wait a little while for the ground to dry out again. Maybe next weekend. Thank you very much for your offer to help.
