Victorian with Heritage Siding
If you like natural real wood our Heritage Lap Siding may be just the siding type for you. The exterior boards rough-hewn kiln dried white pine. Measurements vary and are random. We offer a manufactured stone on the front, sides and back of shed or just a few select sides. This product can be ordered as a garage or as a shed with a side double door instead.
Lancaster County Barns offers the Heritage sided sheds in a wide range of sizes—from as small as 8'x8' to as large as 12'x40'. Larger structures are available upon request. Only 10, 12 or 14' wide can fit garage doors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a shed can be and intimidating experience if it is your first time. Don’t hesitate to ask a lot of questions. We look forward to them!
How do I know which receiving option is right for me?
Location and Access
Location:
If you are within a 300 mile shipping radius, a fully assembled version of the structure may be an option for you. Beyond that, a kitted form may be the answer. This will depend on the product and it is good to review options with our friendly staff.
Access:
It helps to ask yourself if access to the site you have for the structure is an issue. Here are a few obstruction examples:
- Trees or tree branches
- Mailboxes, fences, gates, or shrubbery
- Telephone poles or overhead wires
- Septic tanks, drain fields, or gas lines
- Inclines, declines, or grade
- Soil condition
- Narrow entry from the road
If the answer is no, nothing impedes access to the site, a fully assembled version is usually the least expensive way to receive your structure within a 300 mile radius of our site.
If the answer is yes, there are obstacles that cannot be removed, a kit for you or your carpenter or a kit where we come build at your site, is the next best option. This is called a build on site. In some cases traveling distance will prohibit this option.
Please feel free to discuss delivery options with our staff!
What does a full assembled delivery look like?
See, “Delivery Options,” Tab on the left.
Is it cost effective to ship a fully assembled structure to my delivery site?
Kits can be cheaper long distance. Please see the "click here for a delivery estimate" on the home page or call for a shipping quote. We would be happy to help you calculate the cost of shipping options.
How are the kits shipped?
The kit forms come on a small home delivery flatbed trailer, a large long distance tractor trailer or an enclosed box truck. Lancaster County Barns structures exceed size and weight requirements for UPS or FedEX.
What if I have no construction experience and do not feel comfortable assembling a kit?
You can hire a local contractor or in most of Lancaster County Barns product line, you can have us BUILD ON SITE.
What is a BUILD ON SITE?
A build on site is where a crew of people come to your property and assemble the structure for you at your location. If this is your situation or preference please speak to a Lancaster County Barns Sales representative. In some cases traveling distance will prohibit this option. On site assembly adds labor cost to the structure.
What kind of truck delivers a fully assembled building?
Most commonly used for structures 6' wide -14' wide and anywhere from 6'-36' long is the HOME DELIVERY TRUCK. These trucks are usually a 4 wheel drive pick-up truck with an 8' wide flatbed trailer hitched on the back. These trailers are usually about 3' off the ground and run from 24-36' long. See the, “delivery options,” tab and view the first video link. In addition to the truck and hydraulic trailer, the use of a shed mover is an option. This is a smaller motorized tool that is good for tight sets.
We use a tractor trailer size delivery truck for larger structures and double wide garages. Since the tractor trailer flatbed extends sometimes up to 48' or so this is a good option to transport large garages or barns depending on the distance of the delivery site from Lancaster county PA. Once the unit is off loaded, the use of a forklift type tool called the, “mule Tool,” is used to set the structure. See the, “delivery options,” tab and view the second video link.
If none of the above situations suit you or prevent you from receiving a fully assembled building and you have decided this option is for you, here is some information on fully assembled shipping...
What is your Warranty?
Please see our “Warranty” Tab. We strive for excellent construction and service at a fair price with quality materials.
Do I need a Foundation?
Please refer to the “Foundation Guide” Tab
Upon order how long does it take till I can receive the structure?
We strive for a 4 week turn-around from time of order and ship as close to that date as possible but it will depend on a few key factors:
- Time of year - Typically spring is the busy season and build times can go beyond 4 weeks.
- Delivery restrictions - Including DOT regulations for times of day, construction & holidays.
- Ground conditions at your site - It may be too wet or too soft for the truck to drive onto the ground. Even though it delays your receiving your structure, it is best to reschedule for good ground conditions.
- Unforeseen delays - Sometimes the trucks or drivers run into issues outside of our control. It’s rare but it does happen.
What are my payment options?
We accept most major credit cards. Ask our staff for certified check discount options. (Some custom quotes are not eligible for this.)
Do you have any past clients I can talk to or online reviews?
Please visit our FaceBook Page and Google Reviews as well as our Client review tab.
Do I need a permit?
Most likely, yes. It is the property owners responsibility to check with your township.
Some of the questions you may want to ask:
- Do I have the size property allowable for the structure I am considering?
- Do I have any set back restrictions from my property line?
- Are there any impervious surface restrictions?
- Are there any Height restrictions?
- Are there any other restrictions I need to be aware of?
- Will I need architectural or engineered drawings for this structure?
- Typically required on larger or commercial structures and if wind/snow load restrictions come into effect.
- Not typically needed for simple storage sheds unless you are in a risk zone.
What is the best was to contact Lancaster County Barns?
Please call, email or request a quote online and someone will respond between 9AM and 5PM EST Monday through Friday with a few exceptions of holidays.

Recommended Site Preparations
Lancaster County Barns is not responsible for site prep. Your town may have specific requirements for shed size, placement or foundation etc., if not, here are some suggestions: (Please feel free to call, place a sales quote, at no cost, and we will provide a floor plan and specs upon your request. This provides you with documentation to supply your town if permits are necessary.) If you would like to contract a professional, we recommend you contact BedRock Siteworks - www.bedrocksiteworks.com
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.
