The site must be clear of all debris including brush, stumps and other obstructions. Trees in the general area must not have any branches hanging over the site . If the site has been improperly prepared and installation is impossible, there will be an additional fee to reschedule construction of your shed.

Wood is a natural material and minor defects are common. Number 2 grade and stud grade are our most commonly used grades of lumber. Wood grades are based on strength and appearance of boards. Wall sheathing & floor plywood will have common imperfections such as knots or knot holes and sap pockets. Studs used in the construction of the shed & used in the doors may have a slight bow (warping end to end), cupping (warping edge to edge), crook (warping end to end along the edge also known as crown), wane (the bark edge of the tree), check (slight splits not through entire thickness of board), splits (going all the way through the board, commonly at the ends), shake (separation of grain between growth rings), and possible, but unlikely, twist (multiple bends in a board) might be found in your building. Similar imperfections and defects are found in typical home construction; you just don’t see it because it’s covered by drywall. Generally, these small defects in wood are taken into account in the lumber grading process and won’t affect the building’s strength or longevity and are not cause for warranty repairs. We take great care to cull lumber that is not up to our standards.
