I believe assembled it weighs 1200 lbs. You have a leg brace every 8 feet. That is 6 per side or 12 good areas to pickup. You could put 2 guys on each leg brace. Would not be the easiest thing to do but where there is a will there is always a way.
I figure I will get 20 years on the tent fabric. I could put on 303 spray to improve the UV protection on both the buckles and overall rubber canvas, but I do not. The buckles are not UV resistant and break. they have not yet come unthreaded which I am sure will happen over time from the...

P.s. Another reason for the height as you now have noted m73819 does not like to get wet and wanted extra height so we can do crane lifts under the cover and he not get wet.
To return our thoughts back to our regular programming.
Yes it was raining yesterday. Yes we got wet but we got it done. The frame is complete and on the blocks.
Now for those of you wondering why the blocks? Note now that 2 large trucks will fit side by side!!
The tricky part was...
