FREE Delivery

Free Delivery covers one trip up to 30 miles one way from dealer location. Trips over 30 miles are subject to an additional fee per mile. Fees are as follows: $3/mile (8ft & 10ft wide buildings), $3.50/mile (12ft wide buildings), $4.50/mile (14ft & 16ft wide buildings). The customer will be responsible for any additional mileage charges, as well as the cost of any additional trips. Read more below regarding Free Setup in the shed FAQ’s.

FREE Setup

Free setup includes leveling the building, starting with one corner at ground level and raising it up to a maximum of 3 feet. If leveling requires 1 foot or less, pressure treated wood may be used. Otherwise, customer may supply concrete blocks which are placed on top of the ground. The driver can also supply concrete blocks for $3.50 each. In very rare cases, underground footers may be required by local building codes. Neither Old Hickory Sheds nor French Creek Designs offer digging or footer services, and these are not included in free set up. However, the driver may work with the customer or contractor when required for an additional cost. Moreover, if you have any questions regarding any additional work you may foresee, be sure to contact the territory manager for Old Hickory or the delivery driver to discuss details and verify any costs involved.

Be sure to contact your local Building Inspector and/or Homeowners Association for information on requirements and restrictions. In addition, it is the customers responsibility to decide if ground conditions are suitable for delivery.

Build-On-Site

Build-On-Site is a great option for customers looking for unique features or a larger shed than what can be pre-built and delivered. It is also a good alternative when the intended location for the building isn’t accessible by a delivery truck. A 10% Builders Fee is added to all Build-On-Site orders, and is due to the builder at the time of build.

Options & Limitations:

  • May be able to build larger sizes (length, width, or height) that can’t be delivered by truck, (ie; 8′ walls on Lofted Barns)
  • Can be built without skids or floor decking, only if being built directly on a concrete pad (customer is responsible for tie downs)
  • Customer is responsible for painting or sealing Build-On-Site sheds
  • Lead times vary by location and time of year (weather permitting)
  • Build-On-Site fee (10% cost of shed) is required and is to be paid directly to the builder at time of build
  • Cash only sales: Half down payment is required upon ordering, and the remaining half plus the builders fee is due at the time of build (Rent-To-Own options are not available for Build-On-Site orders)

Permits

  • Permits
  • Snow/wind load requirements

Finally, it is the customers responsibility to decide if ground conditions are suitable for delivery.

Options to Consider:
