Prepare for Delivery
The Sheds Direct Logistics Department contacts customers in order to schedule a day and time for delivery. Proper site preparation can help ensure a fast and effective delivery. Customers should consider the following during preparation:
- The delivery driver has adequate room to navigate the site.
- Be aware of septic tanks drain field lines.
- Call811.com before delivery to ensure the area is safe to dig for anchor placement, if ordered.
- Fencing will either require suffiecient clearance to move the building through, or be removed prior to delivery. Sheds Direct drivers are not authorized to remove fencing.
- Delivery personnel have the right to refuse installation to any site they determine unsafe or inaccessible.
- Property Owner consent must be giving in advance of delivery if the building is going to be placed on someone else's property.
- Ideally, the building will be installed on a prepared sight, such as a leveled gravel base or concert pad. If a prepared pad is not availble, the site should be level within 8". If more than 8" off level, a Leveling Kit or Black Package can be purchased. Please discuss with your dealer at the time of order.
