Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend contacting your local building department for information on permits, zoning and property line setbacks. Typically, any structure in Rhode Island larger than 8×8 or 64 sq. ft. is required to have a permit, and sheds larger than 200 sq. ft. (12×16/10×20 are just under) require cement footings (sonotubes) or a cement slab.

Please reach out to us at Lakeside for shed schematics/diagrams, contractor license information, and foundation plans (if required) to make the permit process as smooth as possible. 

Yes! Our sheds and outdoor structures all come with a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. 

If you ever have ANY issues, let us know and we will do our best to address it. At Lakeside we are a family-owned and operated small business, proud to stand by our products and services!

We’re happy to come out a do a site check to provide advice and answer any questions you have in person free of charge.

Our structures can be built on site to overcome any obstacle. Where there’s a will there’s a way!

Yes! It would be our pleasure to haul away your old shed to make room for a new one. Email pictures of your old shed to us with details about accessibility for us to provide an estimate.

The Amish furniture makers who supply us use recycled #2 plastic (soda bottles & milk jugs), 100% marine-grade stainless steel hardware, and UV inhibitors in the color dye mix. This combination adds up to poly furniture that’s virtually maintenance free and very easy to own.

Our wood furniture is made with premium grade pressure treated southern yellow pine that holds up great to the elements as well.

Usually soap and water do the trick, but a Magic Eraser always helps. We’ve also found that Star Brite cleaner works great, especially on white poly furniture.

Delivery and installation are free with any shed or outdoor structure purchase. Our in-house team has experience installing thousands of items and will set up and place your shed or structure exactly where you’d like.

If the spot where your shed is going is fairly level (within 12”) the concrete block which we provide will work great as a foundation, and also allows air to pass underneath the shed keeping the floor dry (very important for longevity of building!).

For spots more than 12” out of level, we like to come take a look ourselves or at least see pictures. To level the area out we can add more and/or larger blocks under the shed, build a stone pad, boulder retaining wall or do some light excavation. Give us a call to schedule a free site check if you think your area needs some site preparation.
