However, It is a long distance from my home and I will not have access to
large equipment unless I rent it. Someone else's experience would be very
helpful....
I guess I'm wondering why you feel the need to disassemble it? For
transport? "Ease" of disassembly?
You can slide the sections out once it's horizontal but once it is
horizontal, you can use different techniques to move it; e.g. rent a small
trackhoe (Kubota, DitchWitch, etc.), hire a bunch of guys to carry out to the
street
for a couple. Access is usually the limiting factor in what options you have
available.
If it's the motorized version, I wouldn't take it apart at all. Umm,
also if it's the non-motorized version, I wouldn't take it apart either.
If you can't get it horizontal, that's another challenge. Then you'll
need a crane to extract it.
