Pre-fabbing a shed in sections for easy transport.

Hi. I want to build a 4x8 shed. But I can't build it at the location where it will end up. To make moving it easier I was thinking of making it of assemblible (is that a word?) panels that could then be stacked into the back of a pickup for assembly at its eventual home. Problem is I have no idea how to configure those panels so that they can be bolted together onsite.

Anybody have any ideas/knowledge/pointers they can pass my way?

Just build the floor and walls separate. The way my plans are designed that will be easy. Then carry them to the destination and assemble them. The 8 ft walls will be the heaviest but they can all by 2 people if you screw 2x4 handles to them that stick out the end by 18 inches so each person can lift them easily. Screw them on the correct height for each person so you can lift and carry them just a few inches off the ground.
