HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY LOT FOR DELIVERY OF MY BUILDING?

Proper site preparation is an important part of your investment in a building. It is critical that you have a level site for your building.

Block site preparation has become common to the storage building industry. Years of history has shown that it is a successful way to support a building while keeping it off the ground. Blocks are placed approximately every 6' under every 4x4 runner. Shims and treated wedges are used when needed. The mule (machine similar to a forklift specifically used for storage buildings) will usually be used to set your buildings on block. A 6' area on each end of the building is needed to maneuver the building.

It is very important that you, as the customer, know where you want the building before it is delivered. For example, marking the 4 corners will give you a good idea of how the building will fit at your location. Keep in mind that the delivery driver will need a clear path for access – 2 ft. wider than your building and 14 ft. high.

DOES A RAMP OR ANCHORS COME WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY BUILDING?

Ramps and anchors will not come with your shed as a standard option. We leave the decision up to the customer to add a ramp or anchors to your shed order as an add-on option. Our ramps start at $275 + sales tax and our anchors are $250 + tax for a set of 4 anchors and $75 + tax for each additional anchor.

HOW DO I MAKE MY RENT TO OWN (RTO) PAYMENT?

We do not take payments at our store locations after your order is placed. Please check the RTO contract for your storage building to see what company your agreement is with. It will be with one of the two companies below:

Scott’s RTO – You can reach them by phone at (270) 558-4936.

Shed Rentals – You can reach them by phone at (877) 514-6750.

Heartland Capital - You can reach them by phone at (270) 247-3199

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO GET MY STORAGE BUILDING?

Delivery time varies the type of building you are purchasing and if you are purchasing off the lot or getting it custom built. At the time of your order, we will give you an estimated delivery date, but keep in mind this is + or – 3 business days dependent on weather and logistics.

WILL MY STORAGE SHED BE FULLY ASSEMBLED BEFORE IT GETS TO MY PROPERTY?

Yes your shed will come fully assembled, and the driver will ensure it is stable and level before completing your delivery. We do not offer build on site services at this time. If you have obstacles in the way of delivery, we would like to discuss options that we provide to overcome such obstacles. See delivery photos here.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO DELIVER MY STORAGE BUILDING?

Usually, only one driver will deliver your shed. We have a special tool called a Mule, which is like a forklift but is specially made for storage buildings. The driver will use it to move your shed with ease from their truck to your preferred location.

DO I NEED A PERMIT FOR MY SHED OR GARAGE?

This varies by town and municipality. Please check with your local code office to see what the requirements are for your area.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING A STORAGE BUILDING OFF YOUR LOCAL SALES LOT AND ORDERING A NEW TO-BUILD SHED?

There is no difference in the price of your storage building. Depending on our current workload, there
may be a difference in delivery time, but not always.

IS THERE A WARRANTY ON YOUR STORAGE BUILDINGS?

Yes, all our buildings get a Limited Lifetime Warranty as a standard. The Warranty is effective as of the
day the building is delivered and set up. For details on the Warranty, please see the warranty page or contact us directly.
