When and how does it work?

Not a risk-free action

If you are an older Garden shed(€ 39.99 at Amazon *) you must consider the following points in advance:

• If you move the garden shed, it can warp. In the worst case, connections break and it is no longer stable. Therefore the basic substance of the house should still be very good.
• Dismantling and rebuilding can cost more than delivering a new house.
• At the future location, a foundation will be necessary and therefore usually also a building permit.
• You are not allowed to put the house everywhere. It is important, for example, to maintain the legally stipulated distances to other properties.

Moving the garden house by hand

Small tool sheds that are still in very good condition can often be carried to the planned location by hand. Ask enough strong helpers for help, because a house like this weighs a lot. A good variant is to transport the hut on wheels using logs that are removed at the back and placed in front.

Dismantle and rebuild the garden house

Larger huts can hardly be lifted and therefore have to be dismantled before converting. In this case, it is practical if the assembly instructions are available. Starting from the back, you can use this to dismantle the arbor step by step into its individual parts. Then transport the handy elements to the new parking space and put the house back up.

Move the garden house using a crane

This method is the most expensive. However, this is often the only option if it is too time-consuming or complicated to dismantle and reassemble the arbor. Even if the hut is not screwed but nailed, you should give preference to this variant. Please keep in mind:

• The crane requires a lot of space and can affect the environment.
• There must be no obstacles in the swivel range.
