If you have an experienced qualified party to move it for $350, I would sure do that.

All depends on your $/ time/ skills ratios.

I would write that check too, was just throwing out and option. If you didn't have pipes already, that would eat up a chunk of the $350.

I bet a pro has it moved before you finish your third beer.

Do you have a prefab shed dealer nearby? You could potentially hire one on their way back from a delivery. I'm guessing less than $350. They delivered my 10x16 fully built with a nice little all terrain mule about 200' back on my property across a 15 degree slope no problem. I was amazed how they maneuvered that thing in place on my pad in about 15 minutes.

So here is the update. The guy that moved it originally is no longer moving sheds. So I am starting at square one. So much for my $250 follow up move deal. Worked out well for him.....
Now I need to find a new mover - or tackle it myself. Quick look at rates locally and they are starting at $350. This thing has to move about 50 feet slightly down hill...wonder if I can move it myself...

Not exactly square one: Call the former mover and ask him who is in the business or ask him who bought his shed mover. Someone is doing that task and I bet he knows who it is.

Good luck!

Bob cats are cheap to rent. Cheaper if can pick it up and drop it off. A 1/2 ton will pull it but I wouldn't want to go more the 25 miles or so.

Local rental place only charges $50 extra for the trailer.

Hi all,

So I am going to move my 12x20 shed behind the garage now that the exterior build is done.
It used to be where the garage is located now, and the current home is temporary. If you look at the pics attached you can see the gravel area it is going on. The pic with the shed, you can see it is moving about 50 feet straight back, centered between the fence and the garage.
So, of course, I don't remember locations of the blocks it used to sit on. It was pretty high because it was over dirt/grass by the previous owner. It was also on a hodge podge of cinder block and wood.
I want to do this right since it is in the final home. I plan to use the 4" solid concrete block. What should the block spacing be for optimal support? Every 5 feet? There are five 4x4 runners on the 20' length. So that would 4 rows of 5. Is that overkill?
The guy that will move it (for $250) has one of those specialized trailers that it slides up on. I want to have the blocks set and/or ready to go when he goes to move it.

Thanks!
Jim. I am going lift my 12x24 shed up one whole story build a block concrete floor and frame a new 12x24 garage under the shed turning it into second floor office storage man cave It's actually cheaper than trying to build a two car garage Plus I am going high enough to put a car/ truck lift in
