Bright ideas for how to move a shed a metre to the left?

5 replies

We need to move our rather large shed about a meter to the left. It is because it is hanging onto land which is not ours and a fence needs to go up. We were hoping fence people were going to move it, but we are now needing to come up with a plan b.

Apparently we can just lift and shift if we have enough people. Is this really a thing? We will need to also put a gravel base down first, I've figured that much.

What sort of tradesman might we even ask, and anyone know how they might do it, or how we might do it? There is a Travis Perkins up the road if we need to hire something.

Anyone can help solve this?

How large is rather large and what kind of base is it on now? How much stuff is in it?

We did this with our shed, we emptied it first and then picked up one side and rolled scaffold poles underneath.

Move as poster above says. Then simply put a wood edge down and fill with gravel. Half a day's work max. Provided your ground is relatively flat that is! Watch a youtube video it's very easy

Ah this is what I want to hear! How do I find scaffold poles?

Shed will be empty. It is about 16 x8 foot

call a scaffolding firm & hire them to lend the poles + move the shed?
