site preparation
Pretty much any site will need some adjustment to get a solid and level foundation. For shed sites that are up to 8" out of level we can adjust with a gridwork of cement blocks before constructing the shed. If you are ordering your shed using our 3D Shed Configurator, be sure to check the box for Blocking to Level the Site.
For more complicated sites with rocks, tree roots, shrubs, or just very unlevel, we recommend checking with your local landscaper to prepare a flat, level area for your shed. A suitable area can be prepared by bringing in fill and preparing a base of 3/4" crushed stone.
If you would like site preparation recommendations from one of our builders, you can schedule a free consultation here.

Building process
Once your shed is designed and you have put down a deposit, your local builder will contact you to schedule construction.
All our sheds are built onsite eliminating the need to bring a truck and trailer into your yard. We can also build in areas with minimal access. No need to remove gates or fence panels.
Your builder may need access to electricity during construction.
If you have any question during the construction process feel free to contact your builder directly.
