Delivery

In this guide, we'll walk you through the necessary steps to prepare for your new shed delivery and provide essential information about setup requirements. From site preparation to the final installation of your structure, we've got you covered to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Preparing for Your New Shed Delivery

To ensure a seamless delivery process, it is crucial to prepare the delivery site beforehand. By taking a few simple steps, you can ensure a hassle-free experience when your shed arrives — helping the delivery personnel swiftly and safely deliver your shed to its designated spot.

• Clear the desired location of any debris or obstructions — rocks, branches, or anything that would prevent a smooth surface for the shed to be placed upon.
• Mow the area to prevent the unit from settling on tall grass, ensuring a level and stable foundation.
• Since your new shed will be delivered fully assembled, make sure there's clear access to the site for the delivery truck and personnel.

Responsibilities and Ground Conditions

As a responsible customer, there are certain considerations to keep in mind regarding ground site preparation and potential hazards. Before delivery, it is essential to assess the ground conditions at your location and ensure that you have a suitable site.

• If the ground is soft or wet, delivery is not advised — we reserve the right to reschedule a delivery if ground conditions aren't adequate for a safe, non-destructive delivery.
• Identify and locate any underground water or sewer lines that may be present to help avoid accidental damage during delivery.
• As the customer, you bear responsibility for any damage caused to your yard, driveway, or other property areas during access.

Permits and HOA Requirements

Before your storage shed delivery takes place, it is important to familiarize yourself with local regulations and any homeowner association (HOA) requirements. Certain locations may require specific permits or approvals for the installation of detached buildings like sheds.

To ensure a smooth delivery experience, it is recommended that you obtain all necessary permits in advance. By proactively addressing any regulatory requirements, you can avoid potential delays or issues during the delivery process.

Cooperation with local building code officials and adherence to HOA guidelines will contribute to a seamless delivery experience.

Setup Info and Requirements

During the delivery of your shed, the delivery driver will require sufficient space and access to your location. Ensuring the following setup requirements are met will facilitate a smooth and efficient process.

Required Clearances for Your Fully Assembled Storage Building

The installation site should have an additional 4 feet of width clearance and 4 feet of height clearance to accommodate the fully assembled shed. This clearance allows the delivery truck and personnel to maneuver the shed into place.

Leveling the Storage Shed and Recommended Foundation Options

Upon arrival, the truck driver will set up the shed on your level ground, and a clear, level area is all that's required for the setup of your shed.

• By default, pressure-treated wood blocks and shims (provided by the driver) are used to level the shed.
• We recommend customer-provided concrete blocks to level the shed up to 12 inches from the ground for enhanced stability and reduced risk of settling (additional options available at an additional cost).
• Leland's does not set buildings on raised platforms or piers.

See our Blocking Buying Guide for the recommended block quantities for your shed's size.

Delivery Personnel and Specialized Equipment

When it comes to the delivery process itself, Leland's employs skilled delivery personnel who handle numerous deliveries every day. Their expertise and experience ensure a smooth and efficient installation experience for our customers, equipped with delivery trucks and trailers specifically designed for shed transport.

• For structures measuring 14′ and 16′ wide, we recommend a level gravel or concrete pad to help reduce the possibility of settling in the future.
• Blocking and settling are not covered under warranty — see the Warranty page or contact Leland's Sheds customer service for details.

Overcoming Delivery Challenges with the “Shed Mule”

In certain situations, the delivery site may pose challenges such as tight spaces or other obstacles. Leland's understands these concerns and utilizes specialized equipment, such as a “shed mule,” to maneuver the shed directly to the desired location.

A shed mule is a versatile machine designed to navigate narrow spaces and handle the weight of the shed, ensuring a successful delivery in challenging circumstances.

Throughout the entire delivery process, Leland's places a high emphasis on customer satisfaction. The dedicated delivery personnel are committed to providing exceptional service and will work diligently to unload and install your shed with care and precision.

They will ensure that the shed is properly positioned on the prepared foundation, allowing you to start using it right away.
