HOWTO Move a Shed
Monday, October 3, 2011
We priced the various out-buildings we found at Lowes and Home Deopt and discovered that ours ran about $600. Tearing or burning it down would cost us $600 plus dumping fees. Then I heard that someone had done something similar using a Bobcat with a fork attachment, but getting it between my house and my neighbor’s retaining wall is impossible. We have a friend with access to a crane, but that too was impossible to get back there. I looked into a materials hoist and some 12′ sewer tubing. We even had ten fully grown men come over to give it a lift, but they balked (and let’s be honest — there had to be an easier way).

We used the dunnage I had discovered around the property, except the PVC which was bought specifically for this project.
Here is a definition of a lever: “The force applied (at end points of the lever) is proportional to the ratio of the length of the lever arm measured between the fulcrum (pivoting point) and application point of the force applied at each end of the lever. Mathematically, this is expressed by M = Fd, where F is the force, d is the perpendicular distance between the force and the fulcrum, and M is the turning force known as the moment or torque.” What it means is that a kid with some old deck planks and a fence post can move a small building.

Here we are swinging the shed to the north, pushing hard, after we got it up on the planks with the lever.

After we swung the shed around, we levered it onto the railroad. The west side was built up quite high due to the pitch.
This first video shows us trying to lever the shed onto the makeshift railroad we constructed. We built the first leg of the railroad under the shed so that we could push it onto the leveled following leg. This was pretty challenging, but not as challenging as the proceeding tasks.
In the following video you can see that the idea is working, working very well indeed. Once you’ve got something figured out, disaster strikes.
Okay, well, not that big of a disaster. We should have deployed a brake of some kind. Our following try was more successful, but was typical of the frustration of rebuilding the next leg of the track and replacing damaged rollers.
