Are you in the market for a new shed? Whether you need extra storage space or a dedicated workshop, a shed can be a valuable addition to your property. However, before you can start enjoying your shed, you’ll need to navigate the shed delivery process. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect and provide tips on how to prepare for shed delivery.
At C & H Sheds and More, you can expect our sheds to be delivered fully assembled when you make a purchase. Ensuring sufficient site access and a proper foundation for the building is paramount.
Any permits or H.O.A. approval must be maintained by the property occupant before delivery may be arranged. It’s also essential to check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits for shed placement. Before installing a shed, research local regulations pertaining to its size, height, and placement in order to prevent potential complications.
The prepared placement location is very important, but we also need to be able to easily access the area. This all starts with local roads. Please ensure that all local roads necessary for travel can accommodate the width of an oversize load. Please check for obstacles that may impede delivery. Consider trees, signs, fences, mailboxes, narrow bridges, buildings, overhead wires, and branches on or above the road. Ideally, the road should have at least 20′ wide and 14′ high clearance.
Optimizing Shed Delivery
Once you’ve taken care of the preparations, it’s time to optimize the shed delivery process. Our team will work closely with you to schedule a convenient delivery date and time. During this stage, it is important to communicate effectively. Provide accurate contact information and be available to answer questions or address concerns.
On the day of delivery, it’s crucial to have someone present at the site to receive the shed. This person will need to confirm the delivery details, review the placement plan, and ensure everything is in order. It’s also a good idea to have a level, prepared foundation ready to receive the shed. This will help ensure stability and longevity for your new structure. We will do what we can to provide materials and guidance to aid with this process.
Please inform us promptly if your site, driveway or field is excessively wet and soft, to avoid getting stuck. If the ground is too soft, the wheels of the delivery vehicle may sink. Please exercise your discretion and inform us if the delivery needs to be rescheduled because of the ground conditions.
If the delivery driver can’t reach the site, the customer is responsible for paying the expenses for the driver to come back and complete the delivery once the site is accessible. To address your accessibility concerns, please schedule a site check. We will assist you in assessing and avoiding any extra expenses.
Shed Delivery Quick Preparation Tips
To make the delivery process as efficient as possible, here are some additional tips to keep in mind:
1. Clear the area around the installation site to provide ample space for the delivery truck and shed placement.
2. Remove any obstacles such as rocks, branches, or garden equipment that may hinder the delivery process.
3. Ensure the delivery path is free of debris, snow, or ice to prevent accidents during delivery.
4. Let the delivery team know about any obstacles on your property, like narrow gates, steep driveways, or tight corners, ahead of time.
5. Secure any pets or children away from the delivery area during the installation process to ensure their safety.
