How will you get a fully built shed into my yard?
Sturdi-Built Sheds will send a representative to your home to determine accessibility and will find a solution that best fits your yard.
Do you build on site?
Sturdi-Built Sheds has a team of highly qualified and fully insured builders that can build your shed on site for an additional fee.
What is your most common delivery option?
Sturdi-Built Sheds utilizes the MULE, which is a shed forklift that helps us get your shed in very tight spots with minimal effects to your yard, especially during periods of rain or bad weather. We offer this tool at no additional cost to our customers.
What do I need to know about building permits?
Sturdi-Built Sheds recommends that you check with your local township office first to find out the requirements of placing a shed on your property prior to purchasing one of our sheds. A set of guidelines may be required for you to follow which will advise you on “setback” requirements and determine where the shed can be placed in relation to front, side and rear property lines, as well as utility easements.
Since all municipalities have different regulations and requirements, we are unable to give advice on exactly what may be required of you. We are often asked to supply building specs and proof of insurance as part of the permit process and we are happy to assist whenever possible. Taking care of these issues is the responsibility of the property owner. Stamped architectural drawings are available.
Is a stone base required for your sheds?
Once you have purchased your Sturdi-Built shed one of our representatives will determine if stone is required. If a stone base is required or preferred, here are the following options:
- Sturdi-Built Sheds can recommend a professional preparation services provider to prepare your site (prices will vary depending on the size and slope of your chosen site).
OR
- Do-It-Yourself by following these guidelines
- Dig out the grass 3″ – 5″ and create a level area 12″ larger than the size of your shed.
- Fill in the area with ½” crushed stone to allow for the water to drain away from your building. 4×4 pressure-treated edge may be helpful to eliminate the stone from washing away but is not required. Concrete pads are also an option, but can be a bit costly.
- When preparing your stone base, the #1 priority is to make sure the pad is level. The purpose is to allow the 4 x 4’s at the bottom of the building to rest flush on top of the stone base.
What if a stone base is not required or preferred?
Sturd-Built Sheds will level your shed with 2″x8″x16″ solid concrete block and NO EXTRA CHARGE.
What should I do to prepare my yard?
Make sure we have enough room to deliver your new shed. Our delivery team must have at least 2 feet of clearance on each side, depending on the width of your structure.
Remove any obstructions. Please note that there must not be any tree limbs or branches, shrubs or fences, or utility lines that would prohibit access for the delivery of the shed.
How do I choose the right colors to match to match my home?
Customers can view and select wood, vinyl, trim and shingle color options at our sales locations during purchase, and you will have another opportunity to view color samples when our sales representative visits your home.
