Our Picks
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.
