On-Site Construction: Shed Delivery with Sunrise Structures

It’s time! If you’re reading this, your brand new Sunrise Structures Shed might be on its way, or you’re considering taking the final step to complete your purchase and shed delivery with Sunrise Structures!
After you have chosen the best spot for your new shed, secured the correct building permits, cleared the space of any old sheds, and properly prepared the site, then you’re ready for your new shed to be installed and delivered!
We Offer Two Options:

Get Your Shed Delivered Prebuilt
At Sunrise Structures, we aim to make acquiring your new shed as seamless as possible. Recognizing that on-site construction can be disruptive, we offer the convenience of delivering a fully finished shed directly to your property, provided there’s adequate space for placement. This approach eliminates the need for on-site assembly, cleanup, and scheduling coordination, allowing you to enjoy your new structure without delay.

Have It Built Fully On-Site
If there isn’t enough space on your property for a pre-built shed, no problem! Our skilled team will construct your shed right on-site, ensuring you still get the beautiful, high-quality structure you’re looking for. We work efficiently to complete the job as quickly as possible and always leave your space clean and tidy. Want to know more about how we make it happen?

Before Shed Delivery

Shed delivery and on-site construction can feel daunting; that’s why we’re here to make the process smooth and stress-free. Let us assure you—we take a great deal of care in building, delivering, and installing your new outdoor structure from Sunrise Structures. With our experienced team and specialized equipment, you don’t have to worry about your yard or landscaping getting in the way of your beautiful new shed!
What should you expect before your shed arrives? Open communication is a priority for us. You’ll be notified at key milestones—when we begin building your shed, when construction is complete, and when to expect delivery. Before your shed delivery day, our team will reach out with a scheduled day and time so you’ll know exactly when to expect your new structure.
Before We Arrive
Before we deliver your shed, it’s important to clear a path in your yard so that our team, your shed, and our shed mule can access the spot where you intend to place your shed. Make sure there is a path free of fences, wires, branches, lawn ornaments, and other potential barriers! A clear path means fewer delays and ensures the safety of our team, equipment, and your shed.
If your new shed site or path to access it is close to a neighbor’s home or yard, it’s probably a good idea to give them a heads-up that we will be in your yard for shed installation.

Let’s Talk Foundation
A solid foundation is essential for the longevity and stability of your shed. If you’ve prepared your own foundation, double-check that it’s ready and level before we arrive.
If you’ve decided to let us lay the foundation for you, ensure the site is clean and clear of debris. We’ll take care of leveling the site and laying the foundation.
Communication
After the foundation is finished, you are ready for your outdoor structure delivery. We want to put your shed exactly where you want it. Just let us know your preferred location and any other specifics, and we’ll take care of the rest. Open communication with us before, during, and after the shed installation process ensures a stress-free day.
During Shed Installation and Delivery
Delivery day is an exciting milestone! During delivery day, our team will ensure that your shed delivery and installation is completed to Sunrise Structure’s high standards and to your satisfaction. To deliver your shed smoothly and without disruption to your yard or home life, we transport your shed with a semi-trailer and then use “The Mule” to install your shed.


Shed Delivery Truck
The Shed Mule — With hydraulics for heavy lifting and turf tires, the Mule is designed to navigate your lawn carefully while precisely positioning buildings in tight spaces without causing damage.
Your Shed—Delivered!
Once your shed is installed, we ensure everything is perfectly leveled. We’ll also inspect windows and doors, making sure they’re functioning properly before we leave.
Just like that, your new structure is safe and sound and ready for you to use!

On-Site Construction Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Shed Delivery Typically Cost?
Shed delivery is free if you are located within 100 miles of our manufacturing facility! We are in Rochester, Indiana, and we are more than happy to help our neighbors out with free shed delivery! Beyond that 100 miles, we charge a reasonable $8 per mile fee for delivery.
How Long Does it Take for A Shed To Be Delivered?
After you’ve designed and ordered your shed, we start building and planning for delivery right away. Depending on the time of year and your location, delivery typically takes 4–8 weeks. Delivery is much quicker for pre-built sheds from our inventory, as they’re already constructed and ready for site prep and installation.
What Size Sheds Can Sunrise Structures Deliver?
We deliver and install a wide variety of shed sizes, from compact 8×10 sheds to spacious 16×52 structures. If you have concerns about the size fitting into your yard, we recommend consulting with our team during the ordering process. We can help assess your property and determine the best options for your needs.
Do I Need a Permit for My Shed?
In most cases, you will need a permit for your shed. Permit requirements vary depending on your location, so we recommend checking with your local zoning office before scheduling delivery. In many areas, smaller sheds may not require permits, but larger structures or sheds with utilities will need approval.
For information about the laws in Indiana and Michigan view our blogs on shed permits in Indiana and Michigan. Check local ordinances for setback and permit requirements.
Can My Shed Be Delivered on a Sloped Yard?
Yes, we can install sheds on most sloped yards, but the degree of slope matters. Maintain communication with us during the ordering and delivery process, and we will plan accordingly.
What Happens If My Shed Is Damaged During Delivery?
At Sunrise Structures, we take every precaution to ensure a safe and damage-free delivery. However, if any damage to your shed occurs during the process, our team will address it immediately and make necessary repairs. Check out our 10-year “Total Trust” Limited Warranty for a full understanding of what we cover.
Is Maintenance Required for My Shed After Installation?
Minimal maintenance is needed for Sunrise Structures sheds! To extend the life of your shed, we recommend regularly inspecting your structure for signs of damage and promptly fixing them. This is especially important around the foundation to look for cracks, settling, and to ensure proper water drainage is maintained around the shed.
