This job involved more than simply carrying things out—it required a bit of creativity and careful planning.

First, we removed everything from inside the shed. All of these items were also collected and properly disposed of by Nishida Service.

Then it was time to start dismantling the shed.


We needed to climb onto the roof, but because the structure was badly rusted and weakened, there was a risk it could collapse. To stay safe, we stepped only on the beams and avoided putting sudden pressure on the structure. Worker safety was a top priority throughout the process.

Many storage sheds in Japan are installed close to property lines and neighboring houses. Because of this, we worked carefully to make sure no debris or dust would scatter into the neighboring yard.

Every shed is a little different, so it’s important to understand the type and condition before deciding on the best way to remove it. Being flexible and choosing the right method on site makes a big difference.



The tools we use can also vary.

For a typical storage shed, it can often be dismantled using an impact wrench with a 10 mm deep socket, a 10 mm wrench, and a screwdriver.

In this case, however, the shed was an older model and the rust was severe. Some bolts would not loosen with the impact wrench, so we used a bolt cutter and a mini angle grinder to cut them instead.

If you are staying in Japan temporarily from overseas, you will probably be living in a rental home. You might think about building a small shed, hut, or even a DIY workshop in the yard—but worry about how to remove it later.

Of course, doing it yourself can be a fun challenge. But if you’d like to get this tough job done in just a few hours to one day—and have everything handled smoothly, including the removal and disposal of all debris afterward—you can leave it to Nishida Service. We’re happy to assist you in English.
