Help ideas moving chicken coop

[feralhound]

hi there, I'm moving across town here shortly and we've been pondering ways to move my 4x8x6-7ft very sturdy wood chicken coop my dad and I built. It's up on cinder blocks, and I had planned on maybe keeping it on cement pavers once I get it to the new place, on the ground. I have a flatbed trailer that it would fit on, it's just getting it on the thing is the trouble. Right now the T1 siding was built a l little farther down than the frame to keep it more sturdy on the blocks, I plan on cutting that. I have a few ideas but I'm trying to keep thus as simple and cheap as possible
One is Attach wheels to frame, pull coop off with truck and pull onto ramp onto trailer.

I've moved sheds a few times in my yard. I use a floor jack to lift a bit, take pier or blocks out. Then I have several pieces of 2" pipe I put under. I've also used round wood posts.
The siding will be a problem. Maybe slip an extra 2x4 under for spacing.

Have you considered a flatbed wrecker?

I would bet any decent tow truck guy in your area has moved a shed or two. Around here it cost about $100. plus some mileage fees for a building of your description..

It should be sturdy enough that you can back the trailer up to it and tip it over on it's side into the tractor then stand it back up at the new place. Just a thought.

Can you post a pic of your coop? Instead of getting hurt doing this, like suggested a flatbed wrecker might be best.
