My GUESS, if your cutting it that low on the pillars, is close to 200+ lbs. I cut the roof off a westy at the top of the pillars and i'd guess it was just over 150lbs. It's not Terribly heavy, just terribly awkward. I would say 4 people minimum to move it, 6 would be preferred.

I think it would make a great wood shed, but the access would be pretty bad and the internal space not as much as you'd think.
