Delivery Options
Our preferred and most common method of delivery is by truck and trailer. Your structure is built at our factory and delivered to you nearly complete. There are distinct advantages to this: this method is minimally disruptive to both you and, especially, your neighbors, and it can generally be completed within an hour or two.
In some cases, it will make more sense for us to build your structure on-site, whether due to various obstructions or because your shed is too big to transport. We’ll discuss the delivery options available to you as part of your design process
Regardless of the delivery option, it is crucial to ensure that you have adequate access to your prepared pad.

Delivery by “Mule”
In situations where we can’t navigate our truck and trailer through a customer’s yard, the Mule comes in handy. A “Mule” is a nickname for a small, all-terrain mini forklift.
It works well for deliveries where there are tight turns, low clearance, or softer ground.
The best part is that the Mule is offered at no additional cost to you.
This option is feasible for small and some medium-sized sheds.
Larger-sized sheds will need to be delivered through other options.
Your sales consultant will be happy to discuss this option with you to see if it is feasible in your situation.
Delivery by Truck & Trailer
Our larger custom structures are delivered by truck and trailer. For us to get your structure to your pad location, we’ll need a clear path that is at least two feet wider than your structure. If turns are necessary, the path will need to be even wider. A height clearance of at least 14’ is required, although some structures may require additional clearance.
Another important factor is the weather. For successful delivery, we’ll need an extended period of dry conditions. Since our entire truck and trailer will drive on your yard to the pad, the ground cannot be soft or saturated.
Built On-Site
Some sheds are too large, or your yard may have too many obstacles to make delivery of the shed possible by either truck and trailer or Mule. In these cases, you’ll need to have the shed built on-site. We’ll deliver your building in kit form, with the floor and walls pre-assembled in modular sections. This allows us to carry your shed by hand, piece by piece, to its location. All we need is a walkway or a single gate for access.
This delivery process is also necessary on very large buildings that cannot be transported assembled due to hauling restrictions.
Building on-site may require several days. However, most small to medium-sized sheds are finished in less than a day.
