Preparing Your Property for Shed Delivery: What to Expect

At TruPoint Backyards, we understand that adding a shed to your property is an exciting endeavor. Whether it’s for storage, a workshop, or a cozy retreat, a shed can enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your outdoor space. However, before your dream shed arrives, it’s essential to prepare your property adequately to ensure a smooth delivery process. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect and how to prepare for the delivery of your new shed.

Clear the Pathway:

Before the scheduled delivery date, it’s crucial to clear a pathway for the delivery truck from the entrance of your property to the shed’s designated location. Start by removing any obstacles such as debris, branches, or large rocks that could obstruct the truck’s access. Pay special attention to narrow passages and tight corners, ensuring there’s enough clearance for the delivery vehicle and the shed itself. If necessary, trim back overhanging branches or foliage to facilitate easy access.

Measure Access Points:

Take accurate measurements of all access points, including gates, doorways, and pathways leading to the shed site. This step is crucial to ensure that the delivery truck can navigate your property without any obstacles or restrictions. If there are any narrow passages or tight corners, make a note of them and communicate them to us in advance. We’ll work with you to plan the delivery route and ensure a smooth process on the day of installation.

Prepare the Foundation:

Depending on the type of shed you’ve chosen, it may require a sturdy foundation for stability and durability. Whether you opt for a concrete slab, gravel pad, or wooden platform, it’s essential to prepare the foundation before the delivery date. Start by clearing the installation area of any vegetation, debris, or uneven terrain. Level the ground and compact the soil to create a solid base for your shed. If you’re unsure about the type of foundation required for your shed, don’t hesitate to consult with our team for guidance.

Communicate Any Restrictions:

Before the delivery date, be sure to familiarize yourself with any restrictions or regulations in your neighborhood or homeowners’ association regarding shed placement. Some areas may have zoning laws or architectural guidelines that dictate the size, height, or location of outdoor structures. Make sure to communicate these restrictions to us in advance so that we can ensure compliance and avoid any potential issues during delivery and installation.

Provide Clear Instructions:

On the day of delivery, it’s essential to be present to provide clear instructions to the delivery team regarding the shed’s placement and orientation. Walk them through the designated location, pointing out any specific preferences or considerations such as door placement, window orientation, or proximity to existing structures. Clear communication will help ensure that your shed is positioned exactly as desired, minimizing the need for adjustments after installation.

Prepare for Installation:

If you’ve opted for professional installation services, make sure that the installation area is accessible and ready for our team. Remove any items or obstacles from the installation site and ensure that there is ample space for the assembly process. Our skilled installers will arrive with all the necessary tools and equipment to complete the job efficiently and effectively. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of the rest!

Inspect Upon Delivery:

Once your shed has been delivered and installed, take the time to inspect it thoroughly. Check for any damage, defects, or missing components, and notify us immediately if you notice any issues. While we strive to deliver high-quality sheds that meet and exceed your expectations, occasionally, there may be unforeseen issues that need to be addressed.
