I am asking the question is buying a second hand 4 bay hay shed, taking it to down moving and rebuilding it elsewhere make any sense? Is this expensive to get a company to do this and at what price does it make sense to purchase this shed. It is in pretty good condition but certain areas wound need new tin and timber.

Depends on who you find to do it. We had a steel framed building taken down on our farm, extended upwards with additional gable posts also and moved to replace a demolished atcost, for less than it would have cost to reroof the atcost building

Sorry folks, ya it’s a large 4 bay with two lean two’s off it… the lean two is 22ft and the round roof is approximately 36ft, on leased land owner considering selling shed.. ya one side is open to the front and one side is sheeted with the opposite side half sheeted. it would be 40 yr old approximately.I will get pics and post them for opinion. Tin work generally good but a few patches let it down. Any company doing this work in the west of Ireland I could price to do the job?

That’s my fear, is it more hassle than it’s worth. I was pricing new shed, for the same job to house machinery and fodder, you would go well into €17/18k for it. Was thinking it’d surely but cheaper to buy and move this shed but maybe not.

A 40 year old Dutch barn around here would not meet any modern day structural requirements so presumably if moved wouldn't be insurable. Maybe that doesn't matter to you though.
I had a new one built very recently and the old ones are little more than bent angle iron held together by the tin, my new one will withstand a hurricane during an earthquake!
