Wide-load Permits
Should your Skip's Outbuilding or Gazebo exceed 8.5' in width, we are required to obtain a wide-load permit for each state we travel through. This $50 permit is taxable only in the state of CT. 12' wide buildings require a rear escort in CT. and RI. The escort Fee will be calculated at the time of your order.
Site Accessibility
We require that we have unobstructed access to your prepared site with our truck, trailer and the product. Take into consideration power lines, sprinkler heads, fence sections, tree limbs and other obstacles which may impede our delivery.
To determine how much room we will need for delivery add 3.5' to the height of the product being delivered as it will be elevated on the trailer.
The width can be determined by adding 2 feet to the products width in the event we are driving or backing straight in. If we will be accessing the yard through a opening in a fence or between trees at an angle we will need additional space.
If you have a question regarding access to your site please contact us and a Skip's Representative will answer them for you.
Site Preparation
It is important that your site is ready for your new outbuilding upon its arrival.
We recommend choosing a relatively level area within your yard as it will make site preparation much easier.
Crushed stone makes a good base and helps with drainage. A concrete slab is also a very good base for outbuilding, as are sono tubes. You may also elect not to prepare the ground in which case Skip's delivery team will level your outbuilding as long as the site is within 6" of grade using 2" and 4" concrete blocks and cedar shims.
In the event your site is more than 6 inches out of level it may be necessary for you to add additional support. The driver will advise you if this is necessary.
If you have any questions about site preparation or would like us to recommend a qualified person to do the work please contact us.
On Site Installation
In the event the perfect site is not accessible by truck and trailer it is possible for Skip's to erect your outbuilding on site. Please contact us and we will quote you a reasonable price for this service.
