    Having dismantled an old shed and replaced with new. I have to say I would never dismantle a shed to take it away for free. It's so much hard work and sometimes screw heads corrode and you simply can't unscrew it.

    I tried so hard to dismantle the shed without damaging it. Then listed it on Gumtree and free cycle and nobody took it so i cut it in pieces and took it to the skip.

    I would never spend the effort in dismantling and assembling an old shed that's already aged 10 years and doesn't have much life left.

    Any way to get rid of that?


    They've poured levelling concrete into the space to make a level platform. Looks like they knew what they were doing and built the shed to be away from moisture as much as possible.

    Only way to get rid of the foundation is lots of sweat, jackhammer (or a handheld breaker) and a skip.

    Lots of work.

    The shed just looks like it needs a link of paint
