Frequently Asked Questions
-
In Ontario, the maximum size of shed you can build without a building permit is 160 sq/ft or 10’x16’. Although the cost of a permit may seem cheap, You also need a site specific engineered stamped drawing for the building and the concrete work as well as a site plan, showing where on your property your shed will be located. These things need to be obtained by the customer. We are happy to work with your architect or designer to offer any details and support they require.
We have built many oversized buildings in the past without a building permit (usually in rural areas). The choice is yours completely.
-
Our sheds are not delivered in 1 piece. The majority of our customers do not have enough access to drive a truck and trailer into their yard. Nor do they want their lawn destroyed by a heavy truck.
We build our sheds with premanufactured components that we carry into your yard. This includes fully assembled walls, roof trusses and preassembled doors and trim kits.
-
Yes we do. Our shed kits can be delivered to you or you can pick them up. They are easy to build if you have some basic tools and a little carpentry experience. If you’re not too sure then ask for help. I can deliver the shed and help you for the day to put it together!
-
The best answer to that question is… The most level spot. This will avoid extra expenses in creating a clear and level base to build your shed. The next biggest consideration is the elavation of your shed base. It should not be in the lowest spot in your yard where water drains to.
-
There are many different choices for shed bases. Keep in mind that sheds tend to rot from the ground up and the higher you can keep your shed from the moisture in the ground, the better.
We can deliver a gravel base to install your shed on. This requires just enough gravel to level your shed floor.
If your yard has a big slope to it, we can built your shed base up with 6x6 pressure treated timbers for your shed to sit on.
Other choices for leveling a shed base can include stacking patio stones to level the floor.
-
Yes we can finish the inside customized to your needs. Maybe it’s just shelving or a workbench or maybe its completely insulated with wall paneling and trim to be used as an office, studio or pool cabana. We can finish the interior with cedar if you want a sauna.
Keep in mind we are not electricians and don’t install wiring. This would need to be subcontracted to a licensed pro.
-
We require enough room to park a pick up truck with a 20’ long trailer and a minimum size 3’-4’ wide gate. We carry our preassembled walls vertically with little wheels clamped onto the walls bottom plate. This allows us to get through quite narrow access points.
If you are getting a concrete base installed for your shed, there are other factors that need to be considered for an estimate and a site visit or some photos/videos would be required.

Delivery times vary throughout the year and spring is always our busiest time. Sheds can be delivered within 1 week to as much as 6 weeks in peak season. Placing an order in the winter months will ensure an early spring delivery.
If you order a DIY Shed Kit, delivery time is usually within 1-2 weeks. Most customers need at least that much time to prepare the ground and base for the shed anyway.
