Most of our Cubby and pet house products will fit onto a standard 6x4ft trailer (no cage).  We will forklift the item onto the trailer for you and you will need to supply rope (not jockey straps) to tie it down securely.  If you are purchasing a shed or large cubby with elevation kit and slides, please check with us for the dimensions and discuss appropriate transport.  Usually either a tray truck or tandem car trailer will be satisfactory.

Delivery of your Design A Shed product.

Special requirements regarding delivery:

A flatpacked cubby by Design A Shed & CubbiesIt is important to realise that, in most instances, you will be receiving a very large item, usually in excess of 200kgs.  Thus to accept delivery of your product you will need at least 2 people  capable of hand unloading it from the delivery van.   In most cases the driver will be quite happy to assist but they do reserve the right to refuse to hand unload due to Occupational Health and Safety Concerns. 

Deliveries will normally be made during business hours only, unless you can make special arrangements with your local depot.  When we despatch the cubby from our factory we will ask  the depot to contact you to arrange a suitable time for delivery.  Please make sure that we have a business hours contact for you.

The item normally comes flatpacked unless otherwise advised.  The plastic ties holding it together need to be cut and each piece unloaded separately. 

Important:  Before you accept delivery and sign the receipt docket, please ensure that there has been no damage sustained during transit.  If, in the unlikely event that your product has been severely damaged by the carrier, then we highly recommend that you do not accept the delivery.  It helps us to be able to fix the damage and resend the cubby at no additional cost to you or us if the carrier is held responsible.  However, often minor damage can be easily fixed by us sending you a part.   Feel free to call us if you are unsure of what to do.

Installing your Cubby, Shed or Pet House:

Professional Installation:

If you reside within the Melbourne Metro area, in most cases we can provide an installation service.  This may depend on our current workload and the distance to your home.

We are unable to provide an installation service on 1.2m or 1.5m elevation kits.

DIY Installation:

All of our products are supplied to you in prefabricated panel kit form, along with all the hardware you need.  All you need is a cordless drill and someone to hold the panels in place while you drill.  A standard cubby can be easily erected by two adults within 2 hours.  Sheds may take more time depending on their size.

Elevation kits of 1.2 and 1.5m are required to be dug and concreted into the ground to a depth of 600mm.
