Delivery Fees
Local Deliveries: Sheds, garages, horse barns & run-ins, playhouses and gazebos, receive free delivery within 40 miles of our location in Saugerties, New York. If outside of 40 miles up to 65 miles, it is $3.50 per mile (after the first 40 miles). If outside of 65 miles, a delivery quote must be obtained. To deliver outdoor lawn furniture, lawn décor, indoor furniture and other miscellaneous smaller items for local customers, we charge a flat fee of $15 for the first 5 miles, then $3.50 per mile up to 20 miles. Long Distance or Out-of-State Deliveries: All of our Amish builders are located in Pennsylvania. Our long distance or out-of-state deliveries will be delivered directly from the builder to you by a trusted third party trucking company. The delivery fee for sheds, garages, horse barns & run-ins, playhouses and gazebos is based upon the distance between your location and the location of the builder of your purchased structure. There are some toll roads, turnpikes, parkways and thruways that our drivers are unable to travel on, and as such, alternate routes will be calculated and may increase the distance to your location. These type of deliveries are quoted on an individual basis. Please contact us for more information. Shipping fees for outdoor lawn furniture, lawn décor, indoor furniture and other miscellaneous smaller items will be quoted. Depending on delivery location and size of item, it may be shipped via USPS, UPS, FedEx or freight carrier. Furniture is generally shipped in 'knock down' form; you must assemble.

Delivery fee estimates for sheds, garages, horse barns & run-ins, playhouses and gazebos can be provided and require your delivery address as well as the size and style of the structure you wish to purchase. Please note that structures measuring 12'1"-to 14'-wide in overall width will require a certified escort, which incurs additional fees. This includes 12'-wide quakers & Premier sheds, horse stall barns & run-in sheds as they have a 1' to 2' overhang.

Common Carrier/Freight Shipping: Gazebo kits and many furniture pieces will need to be shipped via freight due to the oversized dimensions and weight. The driver is not responsible for unloading your purchase. He may or may not help but it's best not to expect it.  If it's a gazebo kit, these are palletized and wrapped for easy transfer with a forklift. You may want to rent a small forklift and unload the gazebo kit that way. Otherwise, you should be prepared to unload your items piece by piece. We highly recommend you have a few friends available to help you out.

Long distance or out-of-state delivery fee estimates are good for 14 days. We can not guarantee any delivery fee estimate after 14 days and may have to provide a new quote.

Set-Up Fees
Quoted delivery fees include: 30 minute unload & set-up time for single-wide structures; 4-5 hours for double-wide sheds and 2-car garages. We allow a full day for 2-story structures.

The customer will be billed at $35 per each 30 minutes for additional time taken to:

• straighten, level, adjust or block up the structure or attempt to fix an unlevel or soft pad on the intended site.
• place the structure in an alternate location as a result of poor access.
• reload the structure so that it can be moved to another location.

The customer will be billed at $75.00 per hour for any additional time taken to:

• wait for site access.

If access to your site turns out to be an unanticipated dilemma or setting the structure unexpectedly requires additional large moving equipment such as a forklift or crane (please note that this does not mean to imply that all of our structures can be moved with such equipment or that we provide any of it), we will set the structure in a different spot at the drop site as we do not provide these services. If the structure cannot be placed anywhere else at the drop site, and must be returned, the customer will be charged for the return shipping cost. If the drivers schedule allows and the structure can be placed at a location other than the intended drop site, the customer will be charged $4.50 per mile and any tolls, permits and/or additional fees incurred for the trip. The customer will then be completely responsible for placement of the structure and releases The Barn Raiser, LLC from any and all liability and damages to the structure or to the owners property that may result from moving the structure by such or similar equipment.

To avoid these extra fees please make sure that the site is accessible and prepared properly and that you are ready to take possession of the structure at the agreed upon time of delivery.

Hauling Permit Fees
Our drivers require Special Hauling Permits for every state they travel through and some states require more than one permit depending on the road traveled. Fees for these permits will be included in your delivery quote, as well as tolls and any fuel surcharges. NOTE: Additional fees apply to any metropolitan area such as NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Washington DC, etc.

Back to top

Deliveries to New York City
Additional rates apply for deliveries to any of the 5 boroughs of New York City. Long Island is especially tough with permits, required route surveys, etc. so the delivery is more costly due to that. 

Back to top

Certified Escort Fees
A certified escort vehicle is required for any structure measuring 12'1"-to 14'-wide in overall width. This includes 12'-wide quakers, 12' Premier sheds, horse stall barns & run-in sheds as they have a 1' to 2' overhang. Escort vehicle fees will be included in your delivery quote. Super loads up to 15' 11", require two escorts and additional premits.

Long distance or out-of-state delivery fee estimates are good for 14 days. We can not guarantee any delivery fee estimate after 14 days and will have to provide a new quote.

Back to top

Sales Tax
Sales tax will be applied for all New York state orders, as we operate our business out of that state. Sales tax does not apply for orders placed outside of New York statevia the phone or internet. Sales tax exemptions such as Capital Improvement, Farm, etc, will require the approprioate paperwork be filled out for our files. 

Back to top

Building Storage Fees
We ask that you to take possession of your structure in a timely manner. Should you not be able to take delivery of your structure within 21 days of our contacting you to set up delivery, you will be responsible for paying your balance due. If you do not take delivery of your building within 1 month (30 days) of our contacting you to set up delivery, we reserve the right to charge you an additional $50 per week for building storage.

Back to top

Past Due Fees

Any past due amounts payable to The Barn Raiser, LLC will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. If The Barn Raiser, LLC collects any payment past due by using an attorney-at-law or under the advice of an attorney-at-law or via a collection agency, the customer will pay without limitation any and all costs involved with collection. If any check is returned due to insufficient funds, The Barn Raiser, LLC will charge a processing fee of $35.

SITE ACCESS & PREPARATION

Site Access
Most sheds, garages, horse barns & run-ins, playhouses and gazebos will be delivered to your location via a full size pick-up truck and 22'-26' flatbed trailer (approximately 45ft or more in overall length). Large structures,  and most 2-Story double-wides will require access by tractor trailer. Structures will be set up at your location. Site preparation and any needed permits are the responsibility of the property owner. Site must be accessible at the time of delivery. If site is not accessible at time of delivery, the customer will be charged for the return trip to the builder as well as another set of delivery charges to return the building back to the customer.

To insure that your structure can be delivered to the location you intended for it, please consider all ground-level and aerial obstacles when choosing that location. The clearance to the site should be several feet wider than the structure unless it is a straight line in across level ground. Please be conscious of low hanging branches, wires, or any other aerial obstructions that the building could hit or snag. The total height of building and trailer will not exceed 13' 6". Please also be aware of fences, posts, large rocks, mailboxes, or anything that can block the path of the delivery truck and trailer or impede the placement of your structure. Any obstacle is your responsibility to move or remove. We can help you decide if your location is accessible by doing a site check (for local deliveries only), or by getting a complete description of the area you want your structure placed including digital photos showing us the point of access, and the path to your proposed site. If site cannot be accessed at time of delivery due to obstacles such as those described above, our driver may unload the barn as close the intended site as these circumstances allow. The structure unloads from the end of the trailer, and the driver must be able to drive out from under the structure. Pulling out from under the structure where the truck and trailer are at extreme angles ("jack-knife"), could result in unsafe conditions and/or damage to your structure. Our guys are good drivers and they can deliver in tight spots but they are not miracle workers!

Site Preparation
The site that you choose should be reasonably level and in a well-drained area. If the area needs leveling, we recommend putting down a stone pad using Item #4 (stone aggregate - combination of stone and stone dust). For larger structures (anything over 12'x16'), especially garages, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO DO THE JOB FOR YOU WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN BUILDING PADS FOR THIS PURPOSE. This will help to protect your investment by insuring a properly built foundation for your structure.  

If you choose not to hire a professional and decide to make the pad yourself, the usual depth is about 4" with more in low spots. Make the pad about a foot wider than the dimensions of the structure. You can also build a box to house the Item #4 out of pressure-treated 4x4s or 6x6s. Tamp the Item-4 down until very firm, compacted and level. This is very important. A firm, level pad will insure less settling over time and provide the even support the heavy building requires. The larger the building, the more essential this becomes, as the larger buildings must rest evenly on a firm, level surface. Again, we highly recommend hiring a professional to do the job for you who is experienced in building pads for this purpose. Additional set-up fees will apply if the pad is soft and/or not level and it takes The Barn Raiser, LLC delivery personnel additional time attempting to fix the unlevel and/or soft pad so that it will adequately support the structure (see Fees & Payment:Set-Up Fees).

A poorly prepared foundation may void any implied warranty.

If necessary, the corners of smaller buildings can be shimmed using a couple pieces of 2" patio block to make the structure level. 

Back to top

The Barn Raiser, LLC is not responsible for the following:

Site Preparation (see Site Preparation)
Any needed building permits. State hauling permits for the delivery vehicles are the responsibility of The Barn Raiser, LLC.
Blocking and leveling of structure if the site is not properly prepared. The driver may assist with minor blocking and leveling of the structure if the site is prepared properly (see Site Access & Preparation:Site Preparation).
Blocking materials. For local deliveries, we provide 2" patio block for shim/leveling purposes (not for creating an entire foundation). For long distance or out-of-state deliveries, the customer should have on hand several 2" patio blocks for the delivery personnel to use should they need to shim a corner to make the structure level.
Site Access/Lawn Damage: Low hanging wires, clotheslines, trees, tree branches, fences, posts, large rocks, mailboxes, or anything that can block the path of the delivery truck and trailer or impede the placement of your structure, are your responsibility to move or remove. We cannot be held responsible for any property damage resulting from soft ground or damge to trees, bushes, wells, septic systems, etc. Be sure to tell our driver where any underground issues are. We will be as careful as possible during the delivery but minor damage can occur such as divots, tire tracks, broken low hanging branches, etc. If you feel that your ground is too soft for a heavy truck and trailer to go over due to heavy rains or Spring thaw, please contact us so that we can postpone your delivery until the ground hardens. As for wells and septic systems, we will not travel over these items with our heavy truck and trailer, so please be sure that the path to your site is clear.
