On a tilt trailer or shed mule, the whole building moves in one piece — no disassembly — provided there's a clear path at both the pickup and the drop site.

Access means gate width, fence lines, slope, and overhead utility drops — a 8-ft-wide building needs roughly 10 ft of clear opening to get through comfortably.
