Can you move a shed once you have build it?

[redribbons99]

Looking to buy a decent shed but we are moving house nxt year really need a shed to store things

Yes you can but it's a bit of a pain. You would probably need to re-felt the roof after the move. Only use nails for felting the roof, use screws for building it so you can easily remove them to disassemble it.

It's a massive pain to take it apart and put it back together and it will be loose etc.

Vaseline the screws so that they don't rust and you can get them out again easily.

We moved our shed about 5 metres without taking it apart and that was enough - I'd not want to relocate it to another address. It is no longer square and true but is a bit twisted, the wood doesn't fully align any more.

Anyway, won't you want to see your new garden before you make decisions about what size and shape of shed you'll need there?

What about buying one of the those big plastic garden store boxes for now, then re-sell it when you move?

Depends on it’s construction. A metal shed is much easier to move.

Yehh that's a good idea iv read that the plastic ones aren't great as they can be broken in easily we want to store a bike not sure what to do I think in our new house we will have a big garden

Yes. We did. We moved ours from the back of the house to the side of the house in 2007. It's still standing! 3 people and an old sheet. We put the massive old sheet underneath it. Then the 2 smaller adults took a corner each at the door and the bigger adult used the sheet to lift the back at one corner. The sheet helped him lift the other corner.
Roof was being redone anyway.

Door is maybe a bit squint?

How about a lean to shed like this if it's for bikes. It will be a lot easer to move. assets.tigersheds.com/img/site/medium/pentbikestore_7x4_shiplap_03_w.jpg
