My 8 foot by 4 foot hoop houses move quite easily. I have no wheels or anything just myself and my daughter pull it. We did not move it a lot mainly because we do not have a lot of flat land, except the front yard but that would equal divorce.

Last time I was at my TSC store they had se nice 8" or so diameter tires for $10. I am thinking about getting some to attach to one end to make easier to pull this year.

Andy had his turkey tractor build out of 2 by 2s I think that worked well I believe.

Just remeber the bigger the foot print the bigger the level spot you will need to find with out leaving openings under the bottom.. FYI.
