Heck doc, hadn't thought about that.... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif While I think the concept is a good one I haven't considered going into business making them.
Bud loves his. He's already moved it once to let it best back up to the prevailing storm direction. And to deter a mudhole which is what the portability is all about.
If you want I can get you a material list. I'm sure everything we used is available up there.

I'd sure appreciate that Harv. I need to make a couple of them this year.

Doc I haven't forgotten about you. My bud with the shed just closed on his new place last night. So in the next couple of weeks we'll move the shed. I'd like to have a how to on harveylacey.com from start to finish with a material list including it being moved fifteen miles. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Bud has the Dodge dually with the duck bumper I made back in 98. He has a slip in winch. So what we plan on doing is he'll plug in his winch, plug in a pintle insert, and then hook up to my trailer. We'll winch the shed up and on to the trailer. He'll disconnect. And I'll haul it to his new place. He'll winch it off and drag it into placey.
Now if, big big big if, it survives that then I think we can do a complete how to with a degree of confidence. It it doesn't we can have a how to on how we should have done it. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I'll be eagerly looking for that Harv! We just redid alot of land and put it into a grazing program. It would be very helpful to move sheds around rather than having to build a bunch. Plus if it's moveable you don't get taxed on them!!!

Richard I think you're going to like this series of pictures.
We moved the loafing shed--stalls today. We moved it about fifteen miles. Some of those miles were at fifty five miles per hour.
Our winch for loading is only five thousand pound pull so we had to double up the line for the up the ramp portion of the loading. We used the skid steer to unload it.
We did pick up a new ding from a tree limb getting out of the old pasture. But it was pretty well straightened out by bud and a willing two by four.
We pulled the Dodge with the winch on the front to the hitch of the trailer and then ran the winch line out.
Yup. That's one of my bumpers. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
