Since I'm getting rid of most of my sheep, the two 10ft by 15ft carports are highly unnecessary where they are.
But I live on anything but flat land!

So, how on earth do I move them?
Has anyone else done it this way, on top of tractor? Pictures of it?

Need to put each on top of my tractor and then move them.
Worse, there's no room to simply drive down the easement. 😭 Which just makes the job far more tricky! I'll have to cut low branches and take up to 3 sections of fencing down.

I'll double check that the easement won't work.
Yellow is easement path, easiest if possible.
Red is the much harder path.

Flatest, closest place to put them. One is definitely going here and I'll enclose it. Idk where the other will go.

Well, after digging some dirt to level the ground in the easement, and measuring, it'd be a bad idea to go that way.
Then grumbling about the fences I have to drop, tight turns, fence out bull and iffy hills to traverse...DH and I decided to buy two new ones instead.

They're 1k again. And that's the 12×20ft size! The two I currently have are 10×15ft.

I also ordered two wall panels to close up one of them. It'll be the permanent rabbit barn.

The other DH wants it somewhere for the animals. So, I'll let him decide.

I'll just have to enclose the ends myself somehow.

Sometimes it makes more sense to just spend the money, make the investment instead of going over hurdles to save a few dollars.
