    The roof felt is laid across the wooden roof structure upon being assembled.
    So, you need to either split the felt along the ridge line and re-affix new felt afterwards, or move the whole roof as one piece.
    A gorilla bar or a spade is great tool for splitting panels on sheds. Just note the location of the nails as it comes apart and reassemble as normal.
    One tip is to check that the long section where the door is, has support at the base of the door as otherwise you could twist the frame damage the structure.
    It may be be worth nailing the door closed with some long sections of wood to provide good support during the move.
