To dismantle or move a garden house - that's how it works
Have you decided on a used garden shed or would like to implement the existing arbor, is the work before dismantling the dismantling. This is necessary because due to the weight it is seldom possible to carry the house assembled through the garden. The following procedure has proven itself:
If the house has to be disposed of, because it has become rotten and unsightly, there are also some points to note. These are discussed in detail in the last paragraph of our article.
Removal of the roof
First remove the bitumen shingles or the roofing felt. If these materials are still good, they can continue to be used. However, because roofing felt rots over the years, it may make sense to use new materials when setting up the house.
Often, the roof and crossbeam can be removed in one piece and carried to the planned location.
Dismantling the walls
Of course, you could unscrew each sidewall board individually. This rarely makes sense. Most of the time you can dismantle several planks in one piece, so that you can disassemble the house into parts that are not too heavy.
Disassembly of the soil
Especially in the floor boards like rot and mold is wide, so the floor should be broken down into all parts. Damaged planks should be checked out and exchanged for new planks.
The old house must be disposed of?
Again, start dismantling the roof and work your way down.
Alternatively, you can order a large container for disposal. However, this is much more expensive than removing the neatly separated materials themselves.
Tips
Very helpful for the dismantling and reconstruction is, if you still have the assembly instructions of the arbor. Therefore, keep them well after the assembly.
