Before Delivery Day: Preparing Your Property
A little preparation helps our crew deliver and position your building safely. Here’s what to check before your delivery.
1. Clear the Delivery Path
Check gates, fences, low tree branches, overhead wires, and the route from the road to your building location.
2. Check the Ground
Choose a firm, stable location. Let us know about slopes, soft soil, drainage issues, or uneven terrain.
3. Choose Your Building Location
Decide where you’d like the building placed and consider access, door orientation, and surrounding structures.
4. Review Local Requirements
Check applicable permits, zoning requirements, setbacks, and HOA restrictions before preparing your site.

Portable Building Delivery & Site Prep FAQs
Have questions about getting your new building delivered? Here’s what to know about delivery, property access, site preparation, and placement in west-central Illinois.
What types of buildings does Schrocks deliver?
We deliver the portable buildings we build, including storage sheds, lofted barns, portable garages, cabins, greenhouses, and custom-built structures. Each building is built before it leaves, then transported to your property.
We’ll review your building’s size and delivery location to make sure everything is ready before delivery day.
Is delivery free for portable buildings in west-central Illinois?
Yes. Schrocks offers free standard delivery within 70 miles of our lot in Clayton, Illinois. That includes Quincy, Camp Point, Liberty, Colchester, Carthage, Mt. Sterling, Golden, and many communities around them.
Standard delivery includes unloading, positioning, and leveling. You pay only for the concrete blocks we use. If you’re outside our free delivery area, contact us for a delivery quote.
Do portable garages, cabins, and greenhouses arrive fully assembled?
Yes. Every building is built before it leaves, including garages, cabins, and greenhouses. Your building arrives assembled, so there’s no extended on-site construction project.
Our crew handles unloading, positioning, and leveling. Any additional finishing work or site improvements are separate from standard building delivery.
How do I prepare my property for portable building delivery?
Start by choosing where you’d like your building placed. Make sure there’s a clear route from the road to that location, and check for gates, fences, trees, overhead wires, slopes, and other obstacles.
Also consider the ground where the building will sit. Let us know about uneven terrain, soft soil, drainage issues, or difficult access before delivery day. Photos of the spot and the way in help.
Do I need a concrete slab or gravel foundation for my building?
For a small or medium building set in a yard on grass or dirt, concrete cap or paver blocks work well. A level gravel pad is best for any size and highly recommended for garages and large buildings, and concrete or pavement works great too.
Whatever you choose, plan for rainwater to drain away from the building. Talk with us before you pour concrete or build a pad.
How much room do you need to deliver?
Allow about 2 feet of extra width beyond the building, and 6 feet of clearance at each end. For example, a 20-foot shed needs about 32 feet of length to deliver and position.
Can you deliver a large portable garage or cabin into a backyard?
In many cases, yes. Our delivery trailer and Mule are made to move buildings into yards that are hard to reach.
However, larger buildings need room to maneuver. Gates, fences, overhead obstacles, slopes, and ground conditions can affect what we’re able to deliver.
If you’re considering a larger garage, cabin, or custom building, contact us before ordering so we can discuss access to your property.
How are portable buildings positioned and leveled during delivery?
Our crew brings your completed building to your property, unloads it, and moves it into the agreed-upon location.
We level and support the building on concrete blocks and check its level and door operation before finishing. We carry everything needed on the truck, and you pay only for the blocks we actually use.
Do I need a permit for a portable garage, cabin, greenhouse, or storage building?
Permit and zoning requirements depend on your location, the size of the building, and its intended use.
A portable storage shed may have different requirements than a garage, greenhouse, workshop, or cabin intended for living space.
Before ordering, check with your city or county about permits, setbacks, zoning, and any applicable HOA restrictions. Schrocks is not responsible for permits or code restrictions.
How do I know whether Schrocks can deliver to my address?
Use our delivery-area checker to enter your ZIP code or town. It estimates whether you’re within 70 miles of our lot in Clayton.
The checker uses straight-line distance to the center of your ZIP code or town, so the result is an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery quote. See the communities on our service area page.
We’ll confirm delivery availability and any applicable costs when discussing your building and property.
