You’ve chosen the perfect Action Buildings shed, and now you’re ready for the final step: delivery and installation. We are committed to providing a seamless experience from start to finish. Our professional, in-house delivery team ensures your new building arrives safely and is set up correctly on your property in Alabama or Georgia.
This guide explains what you can expect during the delivery process, so you can feel confident and prepared for arrival day.
Before Your Delivery Day
A successful delivery begins with a well-prepared site. Before our team heads your way, it's important to ensure your chosen location is ready.
- Site Accessibility: Our team needs a clear path to the installation spot. We require at least one foot of clearance on each side of the building. For example, if you ordered an 8-foot wide shed, the path to your site must be at least 10 feet wide.
- Clear of Obstacles: Please inspect the delivery path and the installation site for any potential obstructions. This includes low-hanging tree branches, power lines, fences, or other structures that could interfere with the delivery truck and trailer.
- A Clean, Designated Area: Having the spot cleared of debris, stumps, or rocks ensures our team can get straight to work on leveling and installing your shed.

The Delivery and Installation Process
Our goal is to make delivery day as smooth and efficient as possible. Here’s what happens when our team arrives.
1. Professional Arrival
Our certified in-house delivery team will arrive with your pre-assembled shed. We handle every delivery ourselves to maintain our high standards of service and care. Our team will greet you, review the placement plan, and inspect the site to ensure a safe installation.
2. Expert Placement
Using specialized equipment, our skilled drivers will carefully maneuver your new shed into its designated spot. We take precise care to navigate your property without causing damage. This is why having adequate clearance is so important—it allows our team to place your building exactly where you want it.
3. Professional Leveling
Once the shed is in position, our work isn’t finished. A level building is critical for ensuring doors and windows operate correctly and for maintaining the structural integrity of your shed over time. Our team will professionally level the building as a standard part of our delivery service. We use concrete blocks to create a stable, even base, making adjustments as needed to account for any minor variations in the ground.
4. Final Inspection
Before completing the job, our team will conduct a final walkthrough with you. We will confirm the shed is placed and leveled to your satisfaction and answer any questions you may have about your new building. Our mission is to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the installation.
Delivery Timeline
We know you're excited to start using your new shed. Typically, Action Buildings are delivered within 2-4 weeks from your purchase date. Please note that this timeline can be affected by weather conditions or other unforeseen delays. We will always keep you informed about your delivery schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much space do you need for delivery?
We require a minimum of one foot of clearance on each side of the building. For example, a 10-foot wide shed needs a 12-foot wide clear path.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Yes, we recommend that you are present during the delivery and installation. This allows you to confirm the final placement and ask any questions.
Does your team handle the foundation?
While we provide professional leveling on concrete blocks, preparing the ground itself (such as creating a gravel pad) is the homeowner's responsibility. A prepared site ensures the best possible foundation for your shed.
What if the weather is bad on my delivery day?
Safety is our top priority. If weather conditions are unsafe for delivery (such as heavy rain, mud, or high winds), our team will contact you to reschedule for the next available date.
