What sort of money do these sort of sheds go for at auction? And what’s a realistic cost per m2 to drop and haul? I’m working towards putting my own up in a couple of years and starting to explore options. 10-15m X 20-30m with decent eaves height is what I’m after

no idea, but dare say a lot who bid totally underestimate the effort required in dismantling them .. and the cost of doing so .... deffo not a cheap exercise as it's unlikely that one would be able to just 'rock up' on site and dismantle it, without total compliance with every syllable of whatever the HSE would require .... probably more so than was required to erect it

The first building on that listing is nigh on exactly what i need but aside from dismantling etc it won't work with my retaining wall it needs to go in front of without modifying. Good job it's not too near because it would be tempting but I'd rather get the building which is right for the job even if it costs a bit more than live with something which just isn't quite right.no idea, but dare say a lot who bid totally underestimate the effort required in dismantling them .. and the cost of doing so .... deffo not a cheap exercise as it's unlikely that one would be able to just 'rock up' on site and dismantle it, without total compliance with every syllable of whatever the HSE would require .... probably more so than was required to erect it

As mentioned it's extremely expensive to take down existing buildings, especially if the legs are concreted in and blocks built in between the legs. The cladding is the big thing if you get it off and stacked the rest is a big mechano set. 1 / 10th of the cost of new build for the first 10 year after that you need to be paid to take it away.

Get one taller than what you need and gas axe the legs off!!
Nothing worse than trying to reuse the old base plates when a muppet has bent, wrenched and pulled the upright over to disassemble the frame!!

We’ve done a few cold rolled kits with everything included inc roller doors etc they aren’t that expensive. But on the smaller side, bigger sheds then if your setup with 4 decent lads should come down easy enough

A farmer I know has put up about 6 second hand sheds in the last couple of years. Mostly new cladding and roof but second hand portals. They just buy whatever is cheap and local. 14m telehandler and a pair of big scissor lifts they have them down and back up in a week (excluding roof and cladding) All farm lads (slight lack of health and safety) One was to short so they had a welder add 10ft to the bottom of each staunchon. Hay barns are better as they often never had the floor concreted so just unbolt from the pads and away you go. Cheap and nearby seems to be the most important factor. To doing it cheaply.

Yes I’d imagine it’s a costly as an erection..!no idea, but dare say a lot who bid totally underestimate the effort required in dismantling them .. and the cost of doing so .... deffo not a cheap exercise as it's unlikely that one would be able to just 'rock up' on site and dismantle it, without total compliance with every syllable of whatever the HSE would require .... probably more so than was required to erect it
good way of looking at it.

My old man put our first owned workshop up circa 30 year ago which was a second hand building he bought it the time and has done us well albeit an extra few bays would have been handy. There's pictures of me as a 11 year old driving the matbro with a jib on it lifting up the crane rails with my Oldman and grandfather up ladders at either end bolting them in place. The answer might be to make it economic you need to exploit child labour
