Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a concrete slab for a Monroe Shed Depot storage building?
For our typical single story storage buildings, you won’t need a concrete foundation. Our floor joist systems have more than adequate strength and moisture resistant qualities to provide a solid foundation for your single story shed on most ground surfaces. Only when your shed is to be located in an area that is below the grade of the rest of your yard should a concrete pad be considered for extra height and drainage. If your intended use for the building requires a concrete floor due to the weight or type of materials to be stored in it, a concrete pad may be ordered from a professional contractor.
Is this a kit?
No. Our Monroe Shed Depot buildings include on-site installation by authorized installers at no additional cost.
Are there any assembly cost?
There is NO additional assembly cost on installed models. All construction costs are included in the base price. The only additional cost for installation is if the optional Block and Beam Base/Foundations is chosen.
What about accessories?
There are numerous accessories available for each Monroe Shed Depot building model. Being able to customize your project is a big advantage of buying a Monroe Shed Depot.
What kind of roof will I get on my shed?
We utilize 2x4 trusses with 7/16" sheeting, tar paper and 30 year composite shingles
How long must I wait for my building to be delivered?
Delivery times typically vary between 4 to 6 weeks due to seasonal demands and the type of building purchased. After you purchase your building Monroe Shed Depot factory will receive a notice of your order, prompting Monroe Shed Depot representatives to contact you to coordinate a date for installation/delivery. The call that you receive will include questions about your selected site and its readiness for the installation. Your personal schedule and your site preparation are important factors in determining the actual delivery/installation. Delivery and Installation days are Monday through Friday, except on holidays. We ask that someone responsible be at home on the day of the build to help determine the exact location of the building and sign the final paperwork upon completion.
How many hours will the builders be on my property?
For installation of storage sheds, you can typically expect the builders to finish and clean up the job site in less than a day’s time (8 hours). Floor joists, door, wall sections and rafters are pre-cut or assembled before delivery to expedite the actual installation and to assure that the building is square and weather-tight.
What are the delivery charges?
Our local delivery area is considered to be a 25 mile radius from Monroe Wa. The actual cost depends on the shed size and number of trucks/trailers required to facilitate the delivery and installation. Tolls and round trip ferry fees are additional to the basic delivery charge. We do not ship out of the State Washington, if customer can arrange freight we can accommodate.
Can I purchase this product with my Credit Card?
Yes. Monroe Shed Depot accepts all major credit cards. You will be automatically directed to our credit card processor. We utilized both PayPal and Square. With PayPal you will be promoted to either log into a PayPal account or continue with a credit card. With Square only credit cards are accepted. A fee is never charged on the deposit when you place your order but a 3% will be added to any amount over $1500 when the balance is paid.
Will I need to get a permit for this building?
This depends on the local building department regulations and what they have determined as the square foot limitations for on-site buildings within their jurisdiction. The customer is responsible for obtaining and paying for any required permits. Permit costs are determined by local building departments. Smaller storage sheds and sheds installed on rural building sites are less likely to require permits. Permit regulations vary according to location, and the customer should consult with the local governing body in the area where the building is to be constructed. Additionally, there may be covenants in your neighborhood regarding acceptable building size, style, height, location, etc. that should be considered as well.
What should I do before the delivery/installation?
Research and be able to provide compliance to any and all neighborhood covenants and obtain the required permits. Then determine where your property lines are, and select an appropriate building site. Finally, you need to prepare a “clean ” build site. This step is the most important and lasting impact that you can have on your building project. It is best if the site is located in a high spot of the yard to provide drainage away from your building. If you have to “build up” a site, but sure use a compatible material like 5/8 minus crushed rock to avoid later settling. The use of dirt or gravel is not suitable or recommended.
What does "clean site mean?
“Clean site” means that the installation site, the surrounding area and the pathway to and from where the delivery vehicle parks and the installation site are clear and free from all obstructions, debris, boulders, branches, animal droppings, etc.
What type of warranty comes with the building?
Monroe Shed Depot stands behind its products. Monroe Shed Depot storage buildings come with a 3-Year Limited Warranty that covers material defects and workmanship. Some materials, such as roofing shingles have their own manufacturer’s warranty that may exceed the Monroe Shed Depot warranty. Display building purchases also include warranty coverage, with the warranty on displays covering defects in workmanship and materials with regard to the roofing and siding only.
