We are looking to building a shed which we can move by towing. Has anyone out there built one of these types of sheds and any good ideas or plans I can access. My first thoughts are big round fence posts with the front of the post sawn off on an angle then build up from there. Your ideas, plans etc much appreciated. Cheers.

Most kitset garden sheds can be dismantled and taken anywhere. What are you going to build it from and how far is it going to travel? The heavier it is the less you will want to move it.

Yes we built a chook shed which has runners underneath it has the frame built on top of the runners and can be towed with the ATV quite common, We just used the equivalent of 4x2 timber for both the runners and the frame, the runners though are placed on their edge with the bottom front pointed.

Just build it so a hiab can pick it up

Thanks for answers to question. Idea is to move shed once a week and we have a tractor to do that. annies3 sounds like a good start. Thanks.

Just round the end of the bearer so it looks like a sleigh

Just heard from the boss that the runners are bigger than I said he is off to measure them.

6x2 or 150x50 for the runners, we used ply for the cladding so just made it to fit the standard size of a sheet of ply, easy and no waste, can be as big as required.

Still quicker and cheaper to hire, than your idea of pulling it to bits, then putting it back together again.
