Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long will it take to have my shed installed?
Once your order is placed it typically takes 3-4 weeks to receive your shed. Our prices include installation on a properly prepared site, see below for details.
What's the process? How do I order?
It's simple. After you have determined your size, and style, simply choose Build Your Shed, and proceed to checkout. We will contact you immediately to arrange installation and answer any questions you may have. You may also call us anytime with questions, request a 3D proof, and purchase your Studio Shed over the phone.
Is this a kit?
It is not! All Studio Sheds are sold as turn-key installed buildings. Our finished panels are fabricated in our factory, then crated and shipped to each building site where they are professionally installed by our team. An installation of our most popular sizes takes about 6 hours. You can leave for work in the morning and return to enjoy your Studio Shed the same day.
Do I need a building permit?
Depending on the size of the Studio Shed you order, a building permit may be necessary. Most counties allow for the construction of one 120 square foot structure without applying for a building permit. For this reason, our 8x10, 8x14, and 10x12 models are our most popular. Be sure to check local regulations before ordering, however, as some municipalities have more stringent requirements. In the event that a building permit is required, we would be happy to provide plans to expedite this process. Obtaining a building permit, if necessary, is the responsibility of the purchaser.
Do you offer larger door openings or overhead doors?
Yes. We can fabricate your Studio Shed with a larger door opening for a double door, or even an overhead door in certain sizes. Please contact us for details - we'd be happy to help to customize this option for you.
What about electricity?
For those interested in using their Studio Sheds as living spaces, wiring a Studio Shed for electricity is a simple process that should be completed by a licensed electrician.
What type of foundation do I need?
Studio Sheds are designed to be placed on either a poured concrete slab, or installed with a self-supported joisted floor system, similar to a deck.
The prices listed on the website include installation on a poured concrete slab. For joisted floor installations there is an additional charge of $500 for the fabrication of the floor pieces. In this type of installation, the only requirement is that the site is level within 6" of the diameter of the shed.
The typical cost of a concrete slab for one of our sheds is about $500-$600, and we have a list of quality concrete contractors who can do this for you. We have done several installations of both types, so please feel free to contact us for more information about which type would be best for your site.
How tall is the roof and ceiling?
The interior height of each Studio Shed is 7’ at the rear and 8’ at the front. The highest point of the roof on the outside is 8’11”.
Do you offer insulated and finished products?
For those interested in using their Studio Shed as a space either for a home office or studio, we offer customizable turn-key packages of post-installation interior finishing to your specifications. Please contact us for pricing and details.
All Studio Shed products as well as our installations are covered by a 2-year warranty covering material defects and workmanship.
What about more custom options (i.e French Doors)?
Since our fabrication is completely engineered, it's very easy to add most any custom option that you have in mind. Simply email or call is with your specifications, and our team will be in touch.
