Delivery

Yes, unless the site is within 8 inches of being level, the delivery driver will need you to have concrete blocks at the site to finish the setup process. If you do not provide enough concrete blocks at the time of delivery, there will be a trip charge if the driver must return at a later time to finish the setup. For specifics on number of blocks needed for your particular building, see our Blocking Chart on the back of your work order.

In-stock sheds purchased will typically be delivered in 7-10 working days. Weather conditions and the demand of the season can alter delivery times of 14-28 days.

The only requirement is a level location. Our buildings are designed to rest directly on their skids. In order to level the building we use treated wood blocks. If your site is more than 8” out of level, we only require that you have an adequate amount of concrete blocks onsite and our delivery driver will place them under the building during the setup process.
