Shed weight

[/pine]

Are you sure there are no (hidden) anchor(s) straps etc??

We bolted a PT 2x12 to the long wall, cut a couple of slots in it to match the bucket ends of a 4wd JCB commercial backhoe. Then wrapped a chain around the building and tightened it with a chain binder.
We moved an 8x10 shed roofed sleeping cabin, insulated, finished inside with shiplap boards from 750 ft in the woods out to a gravel road and another 1/3 of a mile to my side yard.

I have a bobcat and a backhoe! But they're older than that guy's. but my building is smaller. I don't have telephone poll. But my backhoe was able to dead lift my ferguson to30 out of a sink hole. I also have 4 10k lb ratchet straps.

I moved half of a 12x16. I didn’t weigh it but I’d say it was about a thousand pounds per half.

Is it a "She-shed" They ALWAYS lie about their weight!

Is your wife named Cheryl?
...be a shame if somebody burnt down Cheryl's She Shed....but then you wouldn't have to move it.....and State Farm would cover it!

Think it through. Take your time. You can move a lot with a few jacks and some timbers. Power equipment is nice and much faster, but you can tear stuff up just as easily.

You might be overthinking this. Sheds just aren't that heavy. Around here most people bolt some 4x4 skids to the bottom, maybe taper the ends of the skids, then chain to the skids - NOT to the shed, and just drag it to the new location. I've personally drug sheds that way for half a mile or more. From one end of the property to the other, and no need for roads. Just hook up and do it.

Drive some shims (wedges) underneath the sill plate until you get it high enough to get your forks under it.

Got forks under it, put it in the air and put cinder blocks under. Got 4 corners supported, then built some wheels for the rear. I have a metal skid for the front. If i can get the tires closer to the middle I might be able to lift it with the bobcat and move it.

Note that those wheels (if they are like the ones I had) will NOT handle side loads well, they will split the rims.
