Do-It-Yourself by following these guidelines
- Dig out the grass 3" - 5" and create a level area 12" larger on each side, larger than the size of your structure.
- Fill in the area with 3/4" clean crushed stone to allow for the water to drain away from your building. Make sure you level the pad.
- A 4x4 pressure-treated edge may be helpful to eliminate the stone from washing away but is not required.

It is vital to make sure our team has enough room to deliver your new shed to the right location. The delivery team must have at least 3 feet of working area on each side depending on the width of your new structure.
You will need to remove any obstructions from the projected path. Please note there must not be any tree branches, shrubs, fences, or utility lines that would prohibit our access for the delivery of your shed.
