All our buildings are delivered via our own delivery vehicles. The expected delivery of standard ranges is normally 2 - 4 weeks even if installation has been requested. Any bespoke buildings can generally take a bit longer, normally 4 - 5 weeks. If any of our products are needed sooner than these delivery times please contact us to discuss. We do try to give you as much notice as possible regarding delivery, usually via telephone and generally with a week notice.

We only deliver week days Monday – Friday, excluding bank holidays. Deliveries can take place between the hours of 8:30am - 4:00pm. We can not provide specific times unfortunately but we will do our best to confirm a morning or afternoon delivery in the early hours on the day of delivery. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore, the reason we cannot guarantee delivery times.

Monday - Friday 8:00 - 4:30
Saturday 9:00 - 3:00

Out of hours you are still welcome to have a look around our show room, where all buildings have price lists inside and there will be brochures available to take away with you.

If you are not available when delivery is planned and there is a safe place to leave the product please discuss this with a member of staff to see if they feel the items will be secure and to discuss detailed instructions of your supply or fitting requirements, if you are not available, we will be able to rearrange for a different day that would be more convenient.

All our garden buildings are supplied in panels and loaded/unloaded by hand. We need to know how far your site is from the point where we will park our vehicle and if there are any tight corners or turns, as well as how many steps/staircases there may be. As the buildings are delivered in panels, we will need clear headroom. Any gateway or paths should be at least 750mm wide. Assembly on site can generally take about half a day to a day, depending on the size of the building.

Yes, a building can be delivered to a different address when placing the order. Please make sure you state the exact delivery and invoice address required.

Your garden building will be delivered either on a 3.5 tonne ford transit or a 7.5 tonne flatbed. If you feel these vehicles may cause access problems, please advise at point of order.

Yes there is a fully trained team on hand to assist you with any questions, or queries that you may have. Call our team on 01209 860 269 or email: info@truro-portable-buildings.co.uk. We are open 6 days a week, Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30, Saturday 9:00-3:00.

All the buildings sizes shown are approximate external sizes, plus roof overhangs. If these sizes are not suitable, please contact us to discuss a custom made order.

Yes all parts, i.e. screws, nails, felt and step by step assembly instructions to follow.

We recommend at least two people.

In general we recommend you have a hammer, screwdrivers, a drill, stanley knife, spanner, step ladder and sealant and gun.

Yes, all the buildings are supplied with doors and windows already hung and the windows and summerhouse doors are glazed with horticulture glass. Playhouses are glazed with perspex sheeting.

Yes, we do provide an installation service providing a solid level base has been provided and there is clear working space. All buildings will require a base of some sort. A level site is required for buildings with floors. This can be in form of a block, concrete or tarmac base. If the site has a small slope of less than 50mm, we will supply 3 x 2 tanalised timber bearers to help level the area with the use of packing where necessary. Buildings without floors, like garages and greenhouses, will be bolted down. These buildings require a level concrete pad sized exactly to our base dimensions so the shiplap cladding will overlap the side of the base, while the bottom rail of the wall is bolted into the concrete.

Without the correct base, buildings may be very difficult to assemble and in many cases lead to future deterioration of the product, such as doors dropping out and becoming difficult to open or close. A poor base may even cause water leakage.

Yes. The wood we use comes from sustainable sources and we can provide a chain of custody certificate if required.

Timber is a natural product which is subject to environmental conditions, i.e. movement, colour variation, shrinkage, warping and splits. It is therefore strongly advised that you treat your building before or after you construct it, and periodically after that in order to maintain and prolong its beauty and life. If left untreated, it will deteriorate. A sprite base wood preservative is recommended to use, good examples are: Ronseal and Cupniol. You should also make sure there is no overhanging tree or hedge growth near the building. You should also check and replace any damaged felt; it is essential that you act upon this without delay.

Apex and Pent Style Assembly Instructions:

Buildings larger than 10 x 8 will be supplied with king posts and Truss, or 'A' Frame. Detach the King Post from the Truss if necessary and bolt in centre of the building using coach screws.
