Delivery prices are calculated on mileage distance from our address in Bird-in-Hand, PA to your shipping address. The price shown includes unloading the item from the truck. Your delivery rate will be calculated and shown once you add an item to your order.

We can unload the shed right on your foundation. There must be a clear path for us to deliver the shed to your foundation. Make sure no trees or overhangs will be in the way of a loaded delivery truck. We need at least a foot of clearance on either side of the structure for delivery; if the shed is going around any turns or angles, we will need more space. If you do not have access for a delivery truck, we can either use a shed dolly for $80. to move the shed into place or build the structure on-site for 30% of the structure cost. Contact us for more information.

Payment Terms

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards on our website using secure and encrypted servers. We will charge your credit card 50% of the total order on large structures like Swingsets, garages, sheds, gazebos, and playhouses. Upon completion, the balance owed will be charged. Lawn Furniture and Swing Sets will be charged the full amount when the order is placed. We can also accept checks or money orders.

Shed & Garage Site Preparation

We offer professional site preparation for all our sheds. Cinder blocks should only be used for 6′ and 8′ wide storage sheds. Our site preps consist of a stone pad with laser leveling, 4×4 pressure treated timbers for a neat, straight border, and 4 to 8 inches of 3/4 inch crushed stone compacted and leveled. The pad will be 14 inches wider and longer than the structure. The cost is $6.00 per square ft; $495 is our minimum charge. This price includes up to 7 inches of the slope; if the slope is more than 7 inches, add $1.00 per sq. ft. (shed size) for each additional 4″ inch drop. PLEASE NOTE !  If your shed pad goes on a slope these additional charges will be added to your invoice at the time of the delivery which can double the price of a pad. For site preparations, we also add $4.00 per mile from our location at 2441 Stumptown Rd. Bird-in-hand, PA 17505. We recommend contacting Site Preperations LLC for a second price, or if you’re doing it yourself, siteprep.com has good information on how to do it yourself.

PLEASE NOTE ! Site preparation requires access for our grading and excavation equipment. We use a track-loader which requires a minimum 48-inch wide opening to get through. You may need to relevel and re-seed some areas in your yard after the shed is installed. We will try to minimize the impact on your lawn, however, there is no way we can install a shed pad without some disturbance out around the pad. Unless the ground is completely dry, you will have some disturbance and possibly rutting all the way to your paved driveway. When you consent to our crew coming into your yard on any given day, you are taking full responsibility for any disturbance to your lawn.

If you opt to do the site prep yourself, please make the pad 14 inches wider and longer than the structure itself. The pad must be perfectly level. We recommend using 3/4 in. clean, crushed stone for the gravel base. We can unload the shed right on your foundation. There must be a clear path for us to deliver the shed to your foundation. Make sure no trees or overhangs will be in the way of a loaded delivery truck. Additional fees may be added to your balance if the site is not accessible with our truck and trailer. If a mule and dolly wheels need to be used, please add $80 to the balance. If anything obstructs the passage of the structure like fences, hills, trees, flowers, cars, etc., and you have to return the shed, then we will hold your deposit until all shipping and expenses are paid.

*prices apply within a 50-mile radius from our location. For a site farther than 50 miles away, contact us for a custom quote.

Return Policy & Warranty

Sorry, there are no returns. We offer a 5-year limited warranty on all of our structures. The warranty is valid as long as the structure remains at the original address of delivery. If the owner moves during this five-year period, the warranty is voided unless the structure is moved by Amish Backyard Structures or authorized personnel. See our terms and conditions for the full warranty policy. Any structures larger than 8×12 need a gravel pad or the warranty is void. Level Concrete is also acceptable. Blocking up to level a 10×12 or larger shed will void all warranties.

Sales Taxes

Amish Backyard Structures is based in Lancaster, PA. We will charge you sales tax if we are delivering in the state of Pennsylvania. PA Sales Tax is 6% of the order total.

Product Color Visualizers

We strive to ensure our color visualizers (color models) are as accurate as possible to the true color of the materials used.  The colors shown will vary on monitors and may not accurately represent the actual colors used.
