Bushes, Shrubs, Tree Branches/Limbs: *

• must be cut to allow 2’ of extra clearance for the deck. (Example: The deck you ordered is 14’ wide. That means you must trim bushes and shrubs and cut tree branches/limbs to allow 16’ of clearance.)
• are cut or trimmed up to a reasonable height to provide proper vertical clearance for the deck as it is moved through your property. (For example, let’s say that you purchased a deck that is 35” in height. The railing adds 3’ or 36” in height, so the total height of the deck is 71”. You should trim bushes, shrubs, trees, etc. on your property up to a height of 95”, which is approximately 8’.)

If bushes, shrubs and trees are not properly trimmed, the delivery person has the right to refuse delivery OR charge an additional delivery fee to perform the necessary cutting or trimming.

Other Buildings, Fences, Trees, Etc.: *

• we must have 2’ of extra clearance for the deck to fit through gaps, including in between: your house and any trees planted near your house; two or more trees planted in your yard; your house and any fence posts near your house; the posts of your fence; your house and any other sheds or buildings in your yard; your house and the neighbor’s house next door. (Example: The deck you ordered is 14’ wide. That means you must have 16’ of clearance in between the side of your house and anything else around which we must maneuver the deck.)
• Be sure to measure at the most narrow point! Don’t overlook objects like the overhangs on your house or window air conditioner units.

If there is not enough room for the deck to fit between obstructions the delivery person has the right to refuse delivery OR charge an additional delivery fee to do extra work such as removing fence posts.

A Flat Spot *

• We are unable to place a deck on uneven ground, in areas where more than 6” of difference in height exists from one side of the deck site to another, on ground that has ruts (for example, due to water runoff), or in locations where obstructions (such as concrete steps) already exist.
• After submitting this form, we will email you back and request that you provide us with pictures showing the area in your yard where your deck will be placed, so we can evaluate the area and inform you if any preparation work will be required on your part. When taking the required pictures, be sure to stand far enough back so that we can see differences in slope as well as any possible obstructions.
• In addition, we recommend that every deck have a level, compacted base made of some type of gravel or rock to help protect against uneven settling and discourage the growth of grass and weeds under your deck. Materials we recommend include asphalt millings, crushed concrete or stabilized gravel. The ideal base will be 3-4” deep and a foot wider than the deck on any side.

If the customer does not provide a proper placement location for a deck, Avery Building & Barns is not required to complete delivery, or may charge an extra fee for additional blocks.

Note for Winter Deliveries *

• In the event that any delivery location has more than 3" of snow on the ground when delivery is scheduled, snow should be cleared from the driveway and along the delivery path to facilitate easier movement of your deck on its way to the intended placement site. Please also notify your delivery person if your yard is muddy underneath any snow.
• All snow, regardless of depth, must be cleared from the intended placement site to allow for proper leveling of your deck.

If the customer does not clear a path for delivery and/or removed from the intended placement location, the delivery person has the right to refuse delivery OR charge an additional delivery fee to wait for proper snow removal. In addition, if all snow is not removed from the intended placement location, it will be the customer's responsibility to level the deck.
