Shed Demolition and Removal : How To

In this video I show you how to demo and remove a shed, pack the debris into your truck (or trailer), how much the debris weighed and how much it cost to dump. This video will be valuable not only to junk removers and others in the hauling industry, but for the DIY folks as well.

Keep in mind there are a few different ways to demolish a shed depending on its surroundings. The two most common approaches are

1. Start with the roof. Cut one half, pull it down into the shed, remove and repeat. Cut all walls in half, remove and repeat. Cut the floor in half, remove and repeat (the number of cuts will depend on the size of the shed).
2. Bust out the sides, pulling off all exterior panels, then push it over. Deal with the floor the same way as above.

For this particular shed we decided it was best to bust out the sides and push it over. The decision was made when I provided the quote. This shed was 8.5’ x 11.5’ and besides the floor, was in pretty decent shape. After a more detailed evaluation, I noticed the roof had 2 layers of shingles, making it extremely heavy. Since there were no noticeable structural flaws, and no obstacles surrounding the shed, pushing it over was an easy and safe bet. If the structure itself was in very poor condition, or there was a fence/other unmovable objects nearby, we would have started with the roof. In my opinion, and from my experience, it is always easier to bust out the sides and push it over if the surroundings and condition of the shed allow you to do so.

The way we performed this shed demolition required hand tools only (sledgehammers) until the roof was on the ground. If you need to start with the roof, you will be using sawzalls for the entire demo, so make sure you have enough blades, batteries and/or access to an outlet (for corded sawzalls or chargers)

We completed this job in 1 hour and 15 minutes with 2 men on site.
