Permit requirements vary across counties and cities per location. In North Carolina, the building code requires that sheds exceeding 12 feet in any direction need a permit. If your shed is smaller than 12x12, you may only need a zoning permit, or you may not need a permit at all.. If you are not sure, contact your city’s zoning departments. They can answer your questions and help you secure a permit, if needed.

Upon request, a standard set of engineered plans are available for Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina that can help obtain a permit.

Liberty does provide plans and upgrades to meet these high wind areas in Eastern North Carolina. You will want to talk to your local dealer for these details.

Our engineered plans are rated only for sheds and are not rated for the extra weight requirements of garages for vehicles.

Rent-to-own is a rental plan, not a financing plan. This means there is no interest rate. There is a set, monthly payment.

This is truly a personal option and can depend on your personal situation. With bank financing, it can be a cheaper option in the long run if you have good credit. With rent-to-own, there is no credit check required and could be a great option for the following reasons:

• You are buying a home and don’t want to have a credit check application show in your credit reports.

• You don’t have great credit, but still want to get the product before you have the full payment.

• Flexibility: Since rent-to-own is a monthly rental plan, you have flexibility to return the product if your life situation changes.

• No penalty pay-off: This means you can pay the contract early and it will save you some money.

Sure! We even offer an electric package. Our electric package is delivered ready to be connected to your power source by a licensed electrician or homeowner. This connection is not provided by Liberty.

Liberty sheds are engineered and built as sheds. Liberty is not a licensed contractor, nor a home manufacturer. However, many of our customers have upfit or converted their Liberty shed into an office, short-term rental, cabin, or tiny home. The key is working with your local government and code application office to ensure compliance every step of the way. You can hire a general contractor, or you can contract the project yourself! Liberty is not involved in this process, but supplies the shed as a manufactured product starter kit for your amazing conversion project!

Absolutely not. Of course, you can place it on a concrete pad or even a prepared gravel pad which is the preferred way. These options can help ensure your shed doesn’t settle with time. You can learn more about how to create a prepared pad on our delivery page.

If you do not have a prepared pad, Liberty will level your unit with blocks.

Yes, Liberty provides free blocks to level the shed at delivery, based on the delivery team leveling the shed from the highest point of the delivery site using the smallest block available. We do not recommend placing units on blocks higher than 24 inches. If the site requires that we go over 24 inches, charges will apply. See the delivery page for more information.
