It wouldn't have to move via hwy unless something terrible happened but I would like it to be able to go that route if it had to. I think it easily will be smaller than the law allows.That looks like it'll keep you quiet & outta trouble for quite some time!
When/if it comes time to move it, would it stay on the same property or have to go on the highway? If you're just going to shift it "locally," seems like you could devise some steel skids and incorporate a hitch point on one end.
give me a holler and I'll come help work on it. Surry ain't that far away.It wouldn't have to move via hwy unless something terrible happened but I would like it to be able to go that route if it had to. I think it easily will be smaller than the law allows.
It does have already steel tow points on the frame being a bulk barn. Some 4x4s bolted on the bottom would make handy skids I suppose. I even thought about a mobile home axle and trailer tongue that could be bolted on. Chances are it might never be moved but we are trying to buy the piece of property next to the one it will be on so it could end up traveling.
This frame was 10'5" wide
How do all these companies move these 12' wide barns all over? Some kind of special tag?102" is the legal width. You can move this on the highway but it would be a permit haul....unless you did it on the QT and didn't go far.
Where do I get this?Yeah, at 10'6 he doesn't even need a pilot car. It's a $25 permit...
Where do I get this?
Aww hell you don't need no stinking permits. Just do what my friend and I did once. He wanted to move a 16x20 foot deck. We got it ready to go on Saturday evening, jacked it up and back the trailer under it. Sunday morning we went and got it at daybreak and hauled it 15 miles

Daddy and I did the same thing several times while he was alive. We moved the mobile home I bought about 5 miles one Saturday morning. Just ran the back roads...
I went straight down Alamance Ch Rd from near Greensboro to Kimesville hahaDaddy and I did the same thing several times while he was alive. We moved the moble home I bought about 5 miles one Saturday morning. Just ran the back roads...
Was that your building moving past Jimmy the Greek's diner in Winston Salem about 1988? Broomsticks and plastic pipe to lift the power lines outta the way--I laughed so hard I couldn't eat for ten minutes!I hired a group of redneck home movers from another county to move a two story barn about 8 miles once. We removed the roofing, folded in the rafters to drop the height, jacked it up, and put it on the highway. No permits, nothing. Just a laughing gang of guys that intended to earn the money I promised them if they could move it. They staged two guys on top of the building with pvc poles to push up power lines so they could get under them. They pulled up quite a few road signs and mailboxes.....(and some they didn't move.......they just kept driving. lol) They had to cross about three bridges on highways and had to jack the building up higher just to clear the bridge rails and each time that happened traffic was backed up for miles with irate drivers having to wait long periods of time.
It was chaos and something you would expect to see on a comedy movie . I waited for days after that happened for the DOT or residents that owned some of the mailboxes to show up at my door asking questions about damaged road signs and mailboxes but it didn't happen.
That was years ago and people still bring that up in the area that we live in.
It's a blanket permit. Good for a yearHow do all these companies move these 12' wide barns all over? Some kind of special tag?
If you get up here and need one I'll get you in touch with the right people at the weigh station or the hp office is right there in Mt Airy.Where do I get this?
I've seen it done too. Definitely a SMH moment. Funny what some guys will do for a case of beer.Was that your building moving past Jimmy the Greek's diner in Winston Salem about 1988?

So, after reading the publication above, if I pull it up there on my trailer like it is I have to:
1-get a permit for over width.
2-put 18" red flags on rear corners (due to width and overhang)
3-put 7' x 18" yellow "wideload" signs on the front of my truck and the back of the trailer (because it is wider than 10'1")
Rear overhang can legally be 14' from rear of a trailer or truck, you just have to have red 18" flags on it. My overhang is about 8'.
I could stand the frame up in the trailer on its side, strap it good, put some flags on the back and no permits or anything will be required.
And I wouldn't have to make no goofy signs...
Yeah, it will be. Deck is many inches lower than 3'As long as the trailer deck is low enough. Have to be under 13'6". That's a much bigger deal than width...
......no.......Umm... Didn't you see already transport that thing over roads to your house?
Don't be invitin' the wierdos up to Surry. We already have @MuShu Gordongive me a holler and I'll come help work on it. Surry ain't that far away.
