Why No One will move a Tuff Shed? How We moved a Tuff Shed

[@patdemmon]

wow. so you should buy one built with wood joist on 4x4 skids. so any shed company can move it around in minutes with a shed mule.

[@krazy-chicken2752]

Stop making payments to Tuff Shed. They will move it. Guaran. They were trying to sell us a repossessed shed that was moved to a Tuff Shed retail store.

[@organicskating]

Home Depot is totally silly to not move them. You got a good deal from your contractors.

[@tripac3392]

I can move that s*** by myself I don't need no contractor

[@GuerreroExpress]

Where I live I'm pretty much the only one that can move these sheds. Sometimes they are pretty difficult to move but sometimes pretty easy.

[@davidz1681]

The galvanized base is too weak on tuff sheds. You have to take your time and evenly distribute the weight when moving.

[@Hajjat]

How much did they charge to move it?

[@worthaflip9244]

Unfortunately I can't give an exact number. It was bundled with other projects like building the deck and assembling the fence. Which totalled $1500

[@jeffreywall5316]

Any tips / plans on how the skid base was made? I am facing the same problem - first time I moved it ~ 8' I used 6" logs to roll it but this time it has to go 50 + feet, which means a sled.... treated 4x6?

[@worthaflip9244]

I'll get you the specs. But the shed used to sit on cinder blocks. They were able to get under it to bolt the skid on. They also braced up the inside first.

[@311mdub]

Why wouldn’t anyone touch the shed? Is it the weight of it or just prone to collapse?

[@worthaflip9244]

No idea. The general consensus was that they collapse.

@@worthaflip9244 I’m impressed that skid steer was able to move it.. for the shed to j push the skid steer like it did tells me that thing weighs a shot ton. I’ve driven many heavy machinery before and there have been times I’ve nearly taken a dump in my pants trying to move a full-size 40 yard roll off dumpster (biggest they make), carrying it siDeways with a boom lift not being able to see where I drove due to the dumpster.. I’d guess that shed has to weigh several thousand lbs.. also what’s up with the dude breaking up slabs with a sledge hammer? I’d be burned out after a section or two..props to your contractors putting in work and skill

@@worthaflip9244 We also have the same problem trying to find someone to move our shed just about 18" after it was slightly moved during Hurricane Ian. We finally found a company about 60 miles away that will do it for us. They said Tuff Sheds are difficult because they are made onsite. In the future he said to get one prebuilt and delivered whole as they are meant to be moved. Tuff Sheds are meant to be built in their permanent location so any movement voids any warranty and, even though 150+ mph winds moved it slightly, our warranty is void. It still is way cheaper to move it, level and re-anchor it versus having them come and take it apart and rebuild it. And I have bought my last Tuff Shed.
