Do I need to call to schedule installation? No, a Yardline representative will contact you within 3-5 business days after your installation purchase date to review your order and schedule installation. The representative will also confirm your shingle color and any accessories at this time. Builder arrival times are set for either morning (8am-12pm) or afternoon (12pm-4pm); Weather permitting. Your local builder will contact you the day of the install prior to arriving on site. What is the lead time for installation? Typical installation lead time is 6 to 8 weeks, but may vary during peak and promotional times. Do I need to be home during the installation? You do not need to be home once the installation process has started, but you should be home at completion for a walk through and to sign the certificate of completion. How long does installation typically take? Most sheds are assembled within 1 day. Please allow 2-3 days for the completion of our shed installation services on 12 foot wide models or larger. Do I need to do anything to prepare my yard prior to installation? • The build site should be level within 6 inches

• We do not excavate the site

• The area will need to have 3 feet of unobstructed space on all 4 sides and above; free of branches, bushes, power lines, etc. • Electricity will need to be available within 150 feet of the build site • If you’re having your shed built on a concrete slab, please contact Yardline for the exact dimensions and allow 7 days for curing Do I need leveling blocks? Leveling blocks are not required in all states/counties, but the member should check his/her local requirements. Your shed will be built on 4×4 pressure treated runners. We will use treated leveling materials and shingle shims to level up the floor prior to building your shed. If your ground is out of level greater than 6 inches, leveling blocks will be needed (additional fees will be incurred).

How high can I build my shed?

Sheds should be single storey. There should be no platforms, balconies or verandas on sheds. Sheds should be a maximum of three metres high unless they have dual pitched roofs, in which case they can be up to four metres high.

Another is will it upset your neighbours? good neighbours are a real credit to have, if it upsets them size wise which could be an eyesore, then it may spark up council visits and an investigation into the size of the shed. If you choose to build a shed then these rules must be followed otherwise it may result in a costly tear down of the shed by law. Providing you follow the rules above, your shed is perfectly legal. All purchased sheds will follow these rules but if you choose to create your own shed then you need to do the calculations. We do not recommend that you build your own shed unless you have knowledge in construction or have someone oversee the build with the knowledge. Remember, Safety over cost.
