Option 1: Disassemble and Rebuild

Reverse assembly. Document each step with photos. Re-assemble at new location. Time: 1-2 days. Risk: hardware loss, panel damage.

Option 2: Lift and Slide

Only viable for short distances on level surfaces. Need 4-6 strong people OR a pickup truck with lift straps. Risk: structural damage, frame twisting.

Option 3: Hire Pros

We disassemble, transport in our truck, re-assemble at new location. Cost: $499-$999 depending on size and distance.

Anchor Removal

Old anchors stay in the ground — cut flush with concrete saw, fill the hole with concrete patch.
