Purchasing a custom shed is an exciting step. At TruPoint Backyards, we understand that every homeowner wants the process to be smooth, stress free, and rewarding. From the moment you place your order to the day your shed is ready in your backyard, our team works with you to make sure everything goes as planned.
This guide walks you through the entire journey of delivery and installation so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you are investing in a shed for storage, a workshop, or a backyard retreat, you will gain peace of mind knowing how TruPoint Backyards handles every step of the process.
Why Choosing the Right Builder Matters
Before diving into the delivery and installation details, it is important to understand why your choice of builder is so crucial. Many shed providers cut corners with cheaper materials and generic installation practices. The result is often frustration, repairs, or even complete replacements in just a few years.
At TruPoint Backyards, we do things differently. Our sheds are built with superior materials such as LuxGuard flooring, TechShield radiant barrier roof sheathing, and paint or stain finishes designed to last. Combined with a customer first approach, we ensure that what you order is exactly what you receive.
Step One: Designing Your Shed
The process begins with design. You can choose from a wide range of sizes, rooflines, and finishes. Thanks to our interactive 3D Shed Builder Tool, you are in complete control of the look and layout.
With this tool you can:
Experiment with different paint or stain colors
Choose window and door placements
Add flower boxes, shutters, or ramps
Visualize your shed in real time before finalizing your order
Once you have the perfect design, our team reviews your choices to confirm everything matches your vision and budget.
Step Two: Placing Your Order
After your shed design is finalized, placing your order is straightforward. Our sales specialists walk you through your options and provide a clear timeline of what comes next. We offer:
Standard purchase: Pay in full and schedule your build.
Rent-to-own program: A convenient payment plan with no credit check required.
Once your order is placed, our builders get to work. Each shed is handcrafted with precision and care in Indiana and Michigan. Unlike mass produced sheds, every detail is checked before your structure moves on to delivery and installation.
Step Three: Preparing Your Site
One of the most important parts of a successful installation is proper site preparation. This step ensures your shed is stable, level, and ready to serve you for years. Our delivery team will walk you through the guidelines, but here are some key points to keep in mind:
Ground clearance: The area should be free of debris, roots, and uneven ground.
Level surface: A level foundation helps doors and windows operate smoothly.
Accessibility: Ensure there is enough space for the delivery vehicle to reach the site.
Foundation options: Many customers choose our gravel grid base system for stability and drainage.
We also offer on site build options if access is limited. That means if your backyard has fences, trees, or narrow passages, our crew can assemble the shed piece by piece directly where you want it.
Step Four: Delivery Day
Delivery day is always an exciting moment. After weeks of anticipation, your shed finally arrives at your property. Here is what you can expect:
Timely communication: Our team confirms your delivery date and arrival window in advance.
Professional crew: Experienced installers arrive with the equipment needed for a smooth setup.
Specialized trailers and equipment: We use mule machines to maneuver sheds into tight spaces without damaging your lawn.
Efficient placement: The shed is carefully positioned on the prepared site.
Because we handle so many deliveries across Indiana and Michigan, our team is familiar with local conditions and can adapt to almost any backyard layout.
Step Five: Installation and Final Touches
Once the shed is in place, installation is completed quickly and efficiently. Depending on your order, this may include adding ramps, securing trim, or making adjustments to ensure everything is perfectly level. If you selected shutters, flower boxes, or custom doors, these details are added with care.
Our installation process typically takes just a few hours. When we leave, your shed is ready to use immediately. Customers often begin moving in lawn equipment, tools, or furniture that very same day.
Step Six: Post Delivery Support
The TruPoint Backyards experience does not end when we drive away. Our commitment to customer satisfaction continues long after installation. Should you ever have questions about maintenance, painting, or future upgrades, our team is only a phone call away.
We also provide guidance on how to care for your shed so it continues to look and perform its best. With durable construction and the right upkeep, your TruPoint shed will serve you for decades.
