I might need to relocate my log cabin about 20m in our garden It seems a faff to dismantle the whole thing and rebuild it as it’s 6m x 4m so would be a big job. It can’t just be lifted up as it’s too big, and structurally it would probably break.
Any ideas?

Roll it on some scaffold poles or similar.
If it was a smaller lighter shed, but it’s proper heavy. The walls are 40mm think and has an insulated floor and roof.....

What's the floor construction ?

If it was mine I'd be rolling it on scaffold poles as suggested

However I did recently try to relocate an old chicken coop with my V8 Jeep - it wasn't entirely successful

(I wasn't overly concerned about it)

Thanks, I think it would need a V8 to move it. The floor is made up of tongue and grove planks.

Thanks for the feedback gents. The floor is not a structural part of the cabin, so I think it will have to be taken apart. A teleporter would be the best solution......
