method
First lift the house with the wooden wedges so that you can place the jacks underneath. Now lift the arbor so that you can slide sturdy wooden beams under it.
If the garden shed is stable on this, you can put the jack on again and raise the house to the required height. Always place boards and beams underneath.
It's easier with a crane
If the garden shed is too big to be lifted with hydraulic jacks, you can rent a mobile crane from a regional transport company. Please note, however, that this requires a suitable parking space and sufficient space.
What to do if the house cannot be lifted
Then unfortunately only the dismantling remains. You do not have to dismantle the garden shed into all its individual parts. It is usually possible to dismantle the roof as a whole and the side walls in large pieces, so that the subsequent assembly takes place very quickly.
Tips
The trolley jacks required for this action can be borrowed inexpensively from many hardware stores. Some models undercut a ground clearance of ten centimeters. This means that relatively small wedges are sufficient to get the devices under the house.
