Chicken coop relocation

shootin the breeze · Sep 22, 2014

Hey all,

I was lucky enough to be first for roady's coop offering but the thing is big enough that I'm having trouble finding a trailer to move it. Does anyone have a deckover or standard trailer that's 8' wide and 16' long? I'm open to renting it from you or renting your services to complete the move. Looking to move it in the next couple of weeks on a Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks,
Jeff

How far are you looking to move it? I recently hired a towing company to move a shed a very short distance on their rollback for me and it worked out great.

From where to where? I may be able help with my truck and trailer.

OrangeSpear,

I am on the shore in Greensboro MD 21639 about 35-40 minutes from bridge. I believe the coop needs to be taken to Highland in Howard County. If I looked at it right it is roughly 75 miles.

The coop is 8' wide 16' long and 11' high to top of roof. You would be able to back right up to the coop. Plenty of room in my yard for truck and trailer.

Here is a picture

Whoever gets it is getting one HELL of a deal!!!!! even it it cost a couple of hundred bucks to move it, you will NEVER build one that cheaply. Been there, done that! 3 times.

A rollback would be ideal, but the coop may be too high for that.

That is a snazzy coop fit for prize hens.

OrangeSpear, roady has it right: Highland 20777. If you can do it let me know what you think it'll run.

I completely agree. I'm stoked. Way better coop than I could build regardless of the cost. Very excited to get back to chickens and with the Taj Mahal to boot.

I agree a rollback would probably be to high.

Tractor Supply rents trailers but I am not sure what size.

Call one of the shed places up and see how much they would charge you to move it. I know it won't be cheap but they do it all the time do they know what's involved.

A rollback is too tall. If the peak is 11', your max height without a permit is 13'6", which leaves you needing a trailer with a deck height lower than 2'6". The lowest rollback I've seen was 42" deck height. A lowboy semi-trailer could do it.

Pick the moving day carefully if going over the Bay Bridge with that sail on a trailer!

If it could be partially disassembled, that would help.
Brake it down into 6-8 large pieces.
Just a thought.

If it was 82 inches wide I would have a trailer for it.
