Thoughts on where to put a garage.

[92basshawk]

Ive seen a video of this company delivering sheds. They had 3 on a flatbed trailer. The one they needed to unload was on the front. They unloaded all three, placed the new building with a ride-on mini fork lift and two dolleys, re loaded the other two and were finished in under 15 minutes. It was amazing. Im sure I stumbled across it on YouTube.

I would put it on level ground. If it is not too wet, I would not worry about the pipe. If you have had the kind of rain we have here though, it would not be wise to have anything run over your yard. Right now my mower is almost to heavy for my yard.

Not sure I understand the width limit you guys are talking about for the roads. They haul stuff down our roads, that are as wide as the road. I have had to pull off on a side road before to let them pass.

yes 5 skids

Went to their website, pretty nice looking buildings. It would cost an arm & leg around here to transport a 14’ building with all the road closures & escorts.

You did upgrade the door to a wider size, right?

10 by 8 garage door

[QUOTE=BP in ME;10351048]+1 on the door size. They offer a 9'? I didn't see it listed.

Have you discussed this stuff with the sales rep? I was a shed/garage/cam salesman for several years. Laying out different options and solving problems was half of my job description. Making sure the garage stays flat and level is critical to your happiness with the end result. It could also impact the warranty on the building.

hey thanks i did upgrade to a 10 x 8 its not liste but he said they can accomidate any size door. i laid out a rock pad 3 inches deep per salesmans reccomendations and i leveled out the rock pad used 3/4 in stone.
You can PM me if you want to bounce ideas around but the shed co. should be a good source too

Did you get an A-frame or gambrel? We couldn't squeeze a 10' into an A-frame so that option was only for a gambrel roof

i had to increase side length to 9 ft high a frame.

I would create a level foundation for it, if that is the best place for it. For 1 foot I would even consider pouring a slab for it to sit on.

thought I should state that the shed will be delivered fully in tact so the truck would be driving over the well pipe which leads to the house.

I would be more concerned about going over septic tank and lines

They move HUGE 2 story farm house here.

That street and that house look exactly like a place in Eufaula Alabama! Creepy!

Don't worry about your water line. It is deep enough that the truck wouldn't hurt it. I had a shed delivered 1-1/2 ago. The guys at GOOD'S Structures in Elkton use an awesome set up to place the shed. They roll the shed off the trailer onto a set of dollies on the rear and used a two wheeled lift to raise/drive/ push / steer the shed right to where you want it. The delivery truck and trailer stayed right in the street.
