Foundation

Do I need to do anything to prepare my yard for installation through YardLine?

  • - The assembly site should be level to within 6 inches; installers will 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 itself
  • - If you are having your shed built on a concrete slab, please contact YardLine for exact dimensions and allow 7 days for curing
  • - Optional leveling blocks are available….see accessories in YardLine brochure

Do I need leveling blocks?

Leveling blocks are not included with purchase. Leveling blocks are not required in all states/counties, but the member should check his/her local requirements. Your building will be built on 4x4 pressure treated runners. We will use treated leveling materials and shingle shims to level up the floor prior to installing the shed. If your ground is out of level greater than 6 inches, leveling blocks will be needed.

Permits

Will I need to obtain a building permit prior to my shed installation?

You should check with your local Building Authority and Homeowners Association prior to installation to make sure your shed is compliant with all codes, easements and setbacks.

Paint/ Caulking

Is painting included with my purchase?

Painting is not included with purchase and is the homeowner’s responsibility. YardLine sheds are built using pre-primed siding. Manufacturer requires the use of 100% acrylic latex paint. All exterior horizontal and vertical joints must be painted. Doors should be painted on all 6 sides including front, back, and all four edges. Painting your shed to match your home often meets HOA requirements.

 Is caulking included with my purchase?

As a Costco Member Exclusive, YardLine will caulk all critical joints (addressed during installation). All additional caulking is at homeowner’s responsibility. Your shed is built like your home and should be caulked when painting. Manufacturer recommends paintable caulk. You should caulk all horizontal and vertical joints and any seams and gaps prior to painting.

 How soon do I need to caulk and paint my shed?

Your shed should be caulked and painted within 30 days after installation. Check with    your Homeowners Association to ensure compliance with architectural codes.

Is the shed sealed to prevent water from entering?

Our sheds are manufactured with the upmost precision to ensure every building meets our engineering standards. Once your shed is installed, be sure to caulk all remaining joints besides those critical joints already caulked by YardLine as a Member Exclusive. Following these simple steps will prevent water from entering your shed.

YOUR SHED IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
