I have seen them moved on plastic pipe. Think it was about 6 in diameter. The just kept moving them from the back to the front. Looked pretty easy once they got going.

500 feet? I'd fashion up a skid and drag it that short of a distance. Make sure the front of the skid is beveled so it will not dig in as bad on soft ground.
Think it through as to where you want to set it and whether you can drag it right in to place. Place your skid accordingly.

I used to have to move 10ft and 20ft shipping containers around at work. I would put old Coke’s plastic 20oz soda bottle red crates upside under corners and slide then across the asphalt with a forklift. Would not go 500 feet, some times about 20 feet, it get them in place, this way would use the crate as a slider.

THIS---put it on your trailer. Get steal buy borrow blocking, even cut blocks of firewood, even lengths laid down "round" with 2x pieces above and below, then tie it on. Look up videos of "house moving"--much of that is done same now as it always was--jack it up, block it up, and get big timbers/ I beams under and onto a trailer

Fredenberg Man Dies After Shed Falls on Him
Authorities Responded Tuesday Night
July 27, 2016
Site Staff
A 35-year-old man has died in Fredenberg Township after a shed he was trying to move fell on him.
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office says it happened Tuesday night as the man was trying to move the shed.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities are still investigating his cause of death.
I worked with this young man. He was a registered land surveyor for the company I worked for.
He was a real nice guy. His only fault was he was very independent.
He and his wife were expecting their first child.
Be safe!

The guy that put my shed in my back yard had this remote control fork lift thing he called the mule it was pretty slick. Moved my 10x20 petty easy.
All you need is friends! And a friend with one of these.
Well, I bought a new low profile floor jack and borrowed a couple "jackalls" from neighbor and friend. Took shelving(4×4 legs and 1/2 ply) and windows out. Was able get it raised up and on a pair of 6x6 I had.
Side note but related...had a trailer hitch advertised online, local guy dropped by to buy it. Turns out he works for a local housemover and may be able to move it for me.
At least it's on 6x6 lol.
Pulled out the old flagstone/fire pit where the shed is gonna land eventually. Not looking forward to redoing the flagstone...

I'd hire a local shed mover and save the headache. My local shed mover would have that moved in about 5 minutes. He amazed me when he delivered my 14x24 garages.
Finally moved. Had to wait for snow to melt than got in touch with towing company. She was time consuming but got it landed about 2" to the west too much. After last set of prev.pics I had to raise it again and l rotated the 6x6 90* then rotate shed approx 45*. Had to do this to get it on flat bed, then winched with logs and got it on. A battle every damned step of the way, but went well if that makes sense. Never had to unhook once.
Reynolds towing in Lakefield. $400, which was a little higher than what i thought, but still worth it. I will leave on 6x6 until I get some perimeter boards replaced. Cant wait to go back to work to relax....
