How to Move Carport

Quick no nonsense video on how to move a carport a short distance.

We used 1 landscaping timber under each and and moved ours.

I’d like to see a video of it working.

About how heavy are they? I bought a property last year and found out that mine is sets over the property line 2.1 feet. I wanted to move mine over 3 to 4 foot from my property line and was wondering how heavy it is?

I could pickup the corner on the carport in the video, but only after it was loose from the ground being compacted around it. You could use a floor jack, scissor jack or even a bottle jack, just dig a little under to get the PVC pipe under it. Once you have the pipe under it one person can move it around, two would be better though because the structures are very flimsy when not anchored.

@@BoundCountry thanks I will slide some PVC under it and slide it over. I dont have to move it far but I have to see what the laws are about how far back it needs to be from the property line. I have seen different answers so im calling my county office today. Thanks for the video and information.

Won’t work on gravel…

Sure it will. The carport moves on top of the pvc. Just remove/add pieces as you move the carport 😉 this method would even work in mud.
