HOW DO I TRANSPORT-TOWN TO TOWN:A HUGE old COOP 12X24??

[JAHVREM]

Is this baby an oversized load?

its on skids, they can come-along it onto the goosenecked trailor....

but it is 5' high, 12 feet wide, and 24feet long........oh my!!

its old fashioned siding, tongue and grooved, has a steel roof, and plywood floor...

anyone familiar with Ohio laws? what is a permit? is a coop a piece of farm equipment?

new owners want to BURN it!!

use your chicken math!! how many chickens can i add, if i can only get i to my house? 24 miles, country 2 lane road?

DID I MENTION IT'S FREE? FREE? I REALLY WANT IT~~ HELP!!

Yes, that's an oversized load. Anything over 8.5' wide needs a permit. Permits are pretty routine for up to 14' wide. It's not farm equipment. It's a manufactured building.

my coop is similar dimensions coming in at about 12' W by 12' L by 7' H.

Steel structure wrapped in coated chick wire, chain link door and sheet metal roof...can you say HEAVY !!!!!

We are in Texas and I didn't even think about permits and such we just moved it (without incident)

The farmer I bought it from rigged it up on his flat bed trailer and towed it on over.....about 30 miles, some HWY but mostly 2 lane country roads.

The biggest problem he had was mailboxes

Adventures in moving....Good Luck !!!
