If you’re in need of moving your portable building to a different location, Outback Transport LLC. is here to help. When it’s time to relocate your portable building—whether it’s a garden shed, cabin, or mini-office—it’s essential to prepare it properly to ensure a smooth, hassle-free move. Moving large structures like sheds and cabins requires careful planning and attention to detail, both for your safety and to protect your building during transport.
Here are some practical tips to get your building ready and help ensure the moving process goes off without a hitch.
Clear the Area Around the Building
Make sure the area around your portable building is clear for the professional building movers to safely get to it. Clear any obstacles or debris around your building like plants, garden decorations, and rocks that could get in the way of the moving equipment. Make sure there’s a clear path to the driveway or road, as this will allow the movers to access your building easily and help prevent any accidents.
Empty and Secure Interior Items
If you’ve been using your shed or cabin for storage, take the time to remove all loose items inside. Even well-built structures can experience some jostling during transport, and removing heavy or breakable items will prevent damage to the building and its contents. For items that can’t be removed, secure them tightly to prevent shifting. Shelving units, for example, should be anchored to the walls, and any remaining items should be strapped down or packed securely.
If your building has any overhangs or decorative features, consider whether they may need to be temporarily removed to prevent breakage. Discuss any concerns with Outback Transport—they’ll be able to advise you on any specific precautions or reinforcements needed.
Secure Windows and Doors
Windows and doors are vulnerable to damage during transport, especially if they’re not properly secured. Make sure all windows are tightly closed and latch them if possible. For added protection, consider covering windows with plywood or a similar material to prevent cracking or breaking. Doors should be securely closed and locked to prevent them from swinging open during the move.
