American Shed Builders Buyer's Guide Picking the Best Location for your Shed...             Page 3   Picking the location for your new shed is an important step in the process. Key issues to consider when selecting a location are as follows:   1. Do you want the shed near or far from the house? The closer you place the shed to the house, the easier and more convenient it is to access. The further away you place the shed, the longer your walk and less convenient, but it make take up less of your "usable" space. 2. Is the ground area for the shed level? You DO NOT need a perfectly level spot for the shed. American Shed Builders will shim under the shed to make it sit level, and there is no extra charge for this. (we do not, however, level your ground). We CANNOT, however, build a shed in an area that is far from level (12" or more) without pouring solid concrete pillars. There is an extra charge for concrete pillars and we need to know in advance of your scheduled installation date if concrete pillars are required. 3. Is the location the lowest in your yard? Although our floor framing is all heavy duty pressure treated (PT) lumber, it is not a good idea to place the shed in an area of constant moisture or prone to flooding. 4. Is placing the shed in this location going to effect anything else? Be conscience of fence gates (open & close swing radius), walking distance around deck or pool, and in-ground water systems. 5. Is there enough clearance of trees and scrubs (height & width) to place the shed in the desired location?       Copyright © 2002 American Shed Builders, Inc.
