Shifting a shed

[ash_scotland88]

Anybody shifted a shed about a foot before?

It's annoying me how it's not as tight in to the corner as it could be.

It's a wooden 8x5, any techniques? If it's a dismantle job then more effort than is required.

The important question is does the base / slab / whatever it's sat on, extend this extra foot?

If so, and it's just a case of sliding it over a bit then I would have thought a crowbar or similar to lift it a bit then a few bodies to push should do the job, one corner at a time. If it's too hard to slide maybe lift the edge nearest the direction of travel, put a brush handle / some kind of round pole or two underneath for it to roll on, then lift and push from the far side. Once in place crowbar it up a bit to remove the roller.

Emptying the shed should help too

Once empty it should move *fairly* easily with a couple of people pushing as long as it's a nice even surface underneath.

Moved ours about 40ft on my own with a few lengths of waste pipe underneath and slid it down them

I would always consider the rare times you might need access around the shed in the future.

Had exactly the same issue years back so moved the shed so it was tight into the corner.

Then 5 years later had to move the shed back out again so I could get to the fence behind to replace broken panels.

Replaced panels and left shed where it originally was so never need to move it again next time panels need replacing or repainting.

I forgot there was a raised concrete corner bit so it would never be tight against the boundary, so now viewing it as annoying but pointless.
I think a wormery can squeeze between the shed and fence so that may be an idea for it.
