Pressure Treated Shipping Rails

Your structure may be placed directly on the ground due to the pressure treated 4x4s. It is important to leave an air space under the floor so as NOT to trap moisture.



Stone Pads

Your structure may be set on a 4" to 5" deep pad of 3/4" Clean or 2B stones (3/8" to 1/12"). This is stone without powder/dust mixture. The reason is that the dust eventually washes away and may cause additional settling. In order to inhibit weeds and deter moisture, we recommend that the stone perimeter extend 12" beyond your structure perimeter. Do not store mulch or topsoil against the side of your structure. A stone pad can be installed by framing with landscape timbers or 4x4s and then filling flush with stone, or by digging out 4" of soil and installing ground level stone.



Concrete Blocks

If your structure is 10x12 or under you can set it on concrete blocks, blocking should not extend more than 6" out of the ground. In order to avoid a large step into the shed, we recommend you use 2" or 4" concrete blocks or dig the blocking into the ground near ground level. These may sink over time and your shed will then be unlevel.



Sonotubes/Concrete Forms

8"-18" wide concrete piers. These need to be set below frost level, just above ground level and level to one another. Ask your town for any recommended spacing. At minimum we suggest the 4 corners and one in the center. (See foundation rails on our spec sheets for placement and speak to our sales staff to make sure the tube placement will work for the delivery process.) Gravel is recommended between tubes.



Concrete Pads

Your structure may be set on a concrete pad. When installing your concrete pad, keep your pad as close to ground level as possible.



Proper Care

Given proper care your structure will exceed its lifespan. Moisture is the enemy. Airflow is the solution. Do not set anything against the exterior of your structure for extended periods of time. Do not plant flowers, shrubs, or trees directly next to your structure.

Hello Lancaster County Barns!



I am writing you to say thank you. I always wanted a shed and had planned to build one using the set of plans I had on hand for nearly 55 years. By the time I got desperate for a shed I realized that I needed a shed bigger than the set of plans diagramed.



I knew after one look at Lowes or Home Depot and was convinced that there had to be something better out there. Thanks to an Internet search I found Lancaster County Barns. Your customer service was the best part of the experience. Your process allows the customer to custom build. It isn't possible to depict all of your possibilities in catalog form. Thankfully my customer representative was willing to listen to my ideas and not tell me "no" right away. Erika took the time to explain and research the different options that I wanted and construct the shed that I wanted, not trying to get me to buy one that was sitting on a lot in the middle of nowhere. Her commitment to my needs made me realize that I had made a good choice on where to spend my money. Once I had gotten my sales quote, estimated delivery and floor plan my order went to production and then came the delivery.



I was skeptical about my delivery and a bit anxious about the way it was explained, but the actual installation was excellent. My shed was put down in the heaviest rainstorm of the season. However, my driver did an excellent job to position the shed where I wanted without any mishaps. 



Once I had my shed there was no break in required. The quality construction of the structure made custom fitting a breeze. I am really enjoying my shed.



I was also a little worried about purchasing my shed online without seeing the product that I was buying because my experience has been that you never really know what you are getting until it arrives. When my shed was delivered the quality met my expectations.



The thing that really made the difference in my purchase decision and overall happiness with your product was that it is one of the few genuine quality items still available and made in America. 

I would definitely buy from Lancaster County Barns again and I am so confident in your product that I will be recommending your company to my friends and family.



Thank you

Bob Slaughter

Dear Lancaster County Barns,

We decided that we needed a storage shed when my wife recently bought her "dream car", a convertible. We realized we had no room in our garage to park it in due to the accumulation of 10 years worth of "stuff" the kids and we have outgrown or don't use anymore. We then realized we desperately needed storage space. So I started my hunt to find a shed.



We found Lancaster Barns on the internet. I thought to myself "this is easy; I can shop from home and get what I need."



Once I contacted customer service they were always friendly, responsive and timely. This is one of many reasons why we decided to use Lancaster Barns. Don't get me wrong we looked at other suppliers of sheds of course as I like to get a good deal. We were impressed with the service we received over the phone, the style and choices of sheds offered by Lancaster Barns and frankly, the reputation of the Amish workers who built it for us.



The delivery was pretty flawless. Ben, the foreman, called in advance on the day of delivery to confirm the time and to make sure the directions to our house were accurate. The crew arrived within the hour as promised. When Ben arrived, he introduced himself, reviewed the site and made sure the placement would be exactly as we wanted. He even apologized in advance for any (very minor) broken branches incurred in moving the shed from the truck.



The quality of the shed is excellent. The doors and windows are all in alignment and the "fit and finish" is perfect. We would not only purchase another product from Lancaster Barns, but we have also recommended your company to our friends.



So far, we continue to admire the quality and workmanship of our shed. What we really like about it is that the shed itself is so attractive, it fits into our landscaping. There is no reason to "hide it" in the back yard. Compared to the sheds available from Home Depot, Lowes, etc., this is one big reason we went with your company. Your products, in terms of quality and appearance, are just clearly superior.



The one thing that really impressed me with your company is that everyone delivered on their promises, from the help we received in getting the shed we wanted, to the building crew arriving on time and doing a quality job. 



Thanks again!

Carl & Nancy Frandsen
