I have this shed I want to move about 10 meters from its current location in my backyard. This shed is metal, without a floor, sitting on paving stones which appear to have been cemented together.

What is the easiest way I can move this shed to my new location?

  • Prepare the base for the shed and tiles in the new location.
  • Unscrew the shed.
  • Set it aside.
  • Move the tiles to the new location.
  • Move the shed onto the tiles.
  • Screw the shed down.

If moving the whole shed is too awkward (helpers will help with that, and be faster) you could more fully disassemble the shed to move it in pieces - it came in pieces and was assembled originally. But it's faster to not do that, and they are pretty lightweight.

Don't do this on a windy day. The shed may blow off and damage itself while waiting to be screwed down in the new location.

I would brace the walls, diagonals and corners so that what ever method of lifting/rolling will not cause it to flex too much.

Perhaps putting one brace between the two long walls and then from that to the corners may be sufficient.

Maybe this helps, of the wall/ceiling assembly is too heavy:

We moved a 10x10 shed whole (ours included the floor), by rolling it over some round fence posts.

Also 4in ABS or PVC plumbing tubing will do.

Use 2x4 lumber to lever it on/off the rollers and fine adjust.

In your case I believe you'll have to separate it from the floor tiles first, and move the wall/roof assembly.
