When purchasing a shed or modular garage, understanding the delivery process can ensure a smooth and efficient experience. Here's a detailed guide on how these structures are typically delivered:
1. Initial Preparation
Before the delivery of your shed or modular garage, there are several preparatory steps:
Site Assessment: The delivery team may conduct a site visit to ensure the location is suitable for installation. This includes checking for obstacles, measuring space, and confirming accessibility. We can also do this virtually for customers who are in states other than, PA. This is our standard way of conducting a site check customers. We can use Google Earth and pictures provided by the customer to determine if we are able to make a delivery happen or if we should build on site.
Permits and Permissions: Depending on local regulations, you may need to secure permits for the installation of your shed or garage. This step is crucial to avoid any legal issues.
Foundation Preparation: Ensure the foundation is ready. For sheds, this is usually a level stone pad. Modular garages may be a stone or concrete pad depending on the town's requirements.
2. Scheduling the Delivery
Once everything is prepared, you’ll schedule the delivery. The company will provide a date and time, ensuring you or someone is available to oversee the process.
3. Transporting the Structure
Sheds and modular garages are typically transported in two ways:
Pre-Built Delivery: Smaller sheds and garages can be fully assembled at the factory and transported to your site. They are usually delivered on a flatbed truck or trailer.
Modular Delivery: Larger garages and custom sheds might be transported in sections (modules) and assembled on-site. This method is common for more complex structures.
4. Delivery Day Process
On the day of delivery, here’s what you can expect:
Arrival and Unloading: The delivery team arrives with the structure. If a single wide structure, the driver will back up to your pad and drop the back of your building onto the pad, then lower the front of the building. The delivery truck can be maneuvered from side to side as well for tight areas. We can also send a mule along to aid in delivery.
Assembly (for Modular Units): If your structure is modular, the team will assemble the sections on-site. This process involves aligning the modules, securing them together, and ensuring the structure is level and stable.
Finishing Touches: The delivery team will complete any final adjustments, such as attaching doors, windows, and trim. They’ll ensure everything is properly secured and functional.
5. Post-Delivery Inspection
After the delivery and assembly, it’s important to conduct a thorough inspection:
Structural Integrity: Check that the structure is level and stable. Ensure all components are securely fastened and there are no visible defects.
Functionality: Test doors, windows, and any other movable parts to ensure they operate smoothly.
6. Maintenance Tips
To keep your shed or modular garage in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:
Regular Cleaning: Keep the exterior clean and free from debris. This prevents damage and extends the lifespan of the materials.
Check for Damage: Periodically inspect the structure for any signs of wear or damage. Address issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
Weatherproofing: Ensure the shed or garage is properly sealed against the elements. Check for leaks and maintain the roof and siding.
Understanding the delivery process of sheds and modular garages helps ensure a seamless installation experience. From initial preparation to post-delivery inspection, each step is crucial to achieving a functional and durable structure. With proper planning and maintenance, your shed or modular garage will serve you well for years to come.
