Moving a shed - Got any ideas?
I have a small shed that's about 2.5 m square that I want to move. It’s resting on dirt, in so far as I know. I want to move it about 100 m along a track. I’d rather not dismantle then rebuild it. Probably four people could carry it, but there are only two of us.
A trailer would have been good, particularly a large flatbed, but I don’t have one. So, that’s that.
I have a ute. I was thinking of bolting a couple of pieces of timber to the bottom of the shed and using them as skis to drag it behind the ute. But the rough old track might shake it apart.
Maybe, same as above, but lifting one end onto the ute, securing that end, and dragging it along. It might still get shaken around too much.
Maybe, as above, but fitting a couple of old bike wheels to the timber runners. Turning the shed into a trailer.
I briefly thought of four bike wheels, but I have this image of a shed careering down the track out of control like something from some Keystone Cops movie.
A framework secured to the ute that's bigger than the shed base might do the trick, but stability might be an issue. Though, this idea is forming as the best solution, but I'm open to your own ideas.
