FAQ
What do you recommend for site preparation?
Your building should be installed on a level surface, preferably with good drainage. We recommend a gravel pad using 3/4 screened limestone rock. If you would like us to help with site preparation, please ask about our site preparation services.
What about building permits?
You are responsible for obtaining necessary building permits and compliance with neighborhood covenants. Because permit requirements vary from county to county, town to town, city to city, and sometimes from neighborhood to neighborhood, we are unable to advise you about what permits you will need. In some areas, installation of storage buildings or other portable buildings is not permitted. Please determine your local building regulations before making a purchase!
Do you build on-site?
We offer on-site construction for sites that are not accessible for delivery of a completed shed, or for buildings that are wider than 14′ (including any overhang), or higher than 12′ (14’6″ when loaded on the trailer), or longer than 40′.
We also offer on-site construction for buildings that will be constructed on a cement pad, with the pad as the floor. We will anchor the building directly to the pad.
The steeper your roof pitch, the taller your building. If you are close to the maximum height, you may be able to avoid the on-site construction cost by adjusting the roof pitch. For example, a 12′ wide deluxe shed with 7′ sidewalls and an 8/12 roof pitch is 12’3″ high, and must be built on site. The same building with a 5/12 roof pitch is 10′ 9″ high and can be transported.
Is there an extra charge for on-site construction?
On-site construction of all our buildings will add 15% to the base price of the building. All shelters that are over 14′ in width or over 40′ in length must be built on-site, and for these buildings, the cost of on-site construction is already included in the price of the building. If you order a smaller horse and livestock shelter that is going to a site that is inaccessible to our delivery truck and trailer, we will add 15% to the cost of the building.
On-site construction does not eliminate the delivery charge, which is the charge for transporting the building (either completed or yet to be constructed) to your site.
What are your shop display lot hours?
Our shop and home display lot is open Monday thru Saturday, 8:30 – 5:30 p.m. If you are travelling some distance to visit the lot or to order a building, please call ahead to ensure that we will be at the shop. We are occasionally out of the shop for deliveries or on-site construction projects.
