Lead time for production is 5-10 days for the pre-cut kits and 4-6 weeks for the panelized kits. 

Shipping time is 2-9 days depending on the distance from our site in Ohio to your home.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You are required to offload the shipment – either a forklift or 2-3 people on the day of the delivery to manually unload the pieces on the pallet one by one. Each individual piece weighs around 1-100 lbs. so it is fairly easy to do with 2-3 people. Some customers have friends/neighbors/family assist, or hire 2 people. FedEx will schedule the delivery date and time that works for you.

CUSTOMER PROVIDES:

• Shingles
• Drip Edge
• Paint
• Floor (if the building is not purchased with a floor kit)
• If you will be preparing a cement/concrete slab, it would have to be exactly the same size as the unit. If the concrete slab is larger then you would have to trim the 3” skirt that falls below the bottom plate that is designed to wrap around the flooring.

The above items can easily be purchased by the customer at a local hardware store.

Optional floor kit:

• 5/8″ plywood Flooring material
• 2×4 treated floor joists – 16” O.C
• The floor size should be exactly the same size as the building
• Should you wish to purchase the 12×24 Floor Kit please contact us to get a shipping quote.

If You’re Building your own floor

• To build your own floor, the size of the floor will need to be the exact size of the shed
• We recommend a crushed stone base 1 wider on either side of the shed
• The siding overlaps the side of the wood floor roughly 3″ and there is no moisture barrier. You can put this on a cement slab or wood floor – but accommodate this.
• You can retrofit for this but we do not provide instructions for this.

Do I need a Floor Kit? This depends on your preference. If you are not getting a floor kit from us, you can either build your own floor or create a cement slab for your shed. Please take note that it should be exactly the same size as the shed.

(If you are using a slab as the floor then it needs to be the exact size of the building. If it’s used as a foundation, then you can have it in any size.)

Additional Info:

Base: We recommend a crushed stone base, 1 foot wider than the building on all sides.
