Moving the carport
So I pulled the plug and relocated my 18X20 aluminum carport today. I had scoured the net and found all kinds of thoughts on how to do it -- almost made me give up before I started. But I have a secret weapon - a Cub Cadet 782!
Initially I was concerned about twisting or racking the carport and thought about bracing it, but then I decided if I was careful I could pull it without damage. I set a couple of pulleys straight out and in line with each side, and using a long rope hooked to the Cub I pulled toward the carport. The ropes pulled the carport nice and straight, and since I was pointed toward the carport, I had a clear view of what was happening. Taking it easy and stopping for breaks every little bit, it took me about two hours by myself to remove the anchors, move the carport and reset the anchors. I love my 782!!

My neighbor has a canvass covered car port. I was out in the back yard and watched the wind lift it about 15 feet in the air and move it to the woods for him. The wind didn't move it as carefully as you did.

Nice job for a 1 man show!! Mine needs moved, too when I get a chance, but mine will need over about 7' sideways. I was going to recommend sleepers, but I saw that you already thought of that. Archimedes would be proud of you.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
