Empty the shed out and borrow a mate or 2 for an hour.

A couple of long round tree stakes and use them as rollers,for the shed to roll on.

Thanks for the quick reply it sits on a concrete block in each corner the garden now has Mulch but it is like a Farmyard the Missus said I realy dont want to strip it right down as I may need a week off work to sort everything she is after:D

Not very easily!
When they install they move them into final position using levers under the steel frame of the floor, but this would destroy your garden over any sort of distance, and the dragging may knock the uprights off square. The whole thing is bolted to the steel floor frame so if you had access to some low, wheeled dollys you may be able to lever it up onto them and wheel it around?

Edit - the wooden fence posts/stakes idea mentioned above sounds spot on!

The sheds are a fairly straight forward build so it shouldn't be too difficult to dismantle and rebuild, if you have help. Just make sure you keep track of where each steel sheet goes so the tek screws line up an you don't end up with a load of holes in it!

If you don't want to do that, they will dismantle and move it for you if you need it done - when they put mine in they said they have moved sheds when people move house etc.
They are fairly easy to deal with and it may be worth ringing them to see what it would cost for them to do it - might work out cheaper than damaging the shed!
