How to Get a Shed into a Backyard with a Fence

Having a fenced backyard can make shed delivery a bit tricky, but it’s far from impossible. At Eagle Ridge Barn Builders, we’ve encountered and solved this challenge countless times. Below, we’ll walk you through the three main options for getting a shed into a fenced backyard, including the pros and cons of each method. We’ll also explain how our team handles these situations to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Option 1: Remove a Section of the Fence

This is the most straightforward solution if your fence is built in removable sections. The shed can be delivered fully assembled using dolly wheels and a specialized tool called a shed mule.

• Pro: Simple and efficient; minimizes disruption.
• Con: Not all fences are built in removable sections, and some types can be difficult or costly to disassemble.

What We Offer:
If your fence is built in sections, we can assist with removing a portion of the fence, deliver your shed, and reinstall the section afterward. Our shed mule is designed to cause minimal disturbance to your yard, especially if the ground is dry.

Option 2: Use a Crane to Lift the Shed Over the Fence

For yards with no removable fence sections or where space is tight, a crane can be hired to lift the shed over the fence and place it in your backyard.

• Pro: Keeps the fence intact; no need to disassemble anything.
• Con: Expensive and requires coordination with a crane operator and additional crew, making it more time-consuming and complex.

What We Recommend:
At Eagle Ridge Barn Builders, we don’t typically offer crane services. Instead, we provide a more cost-effective solution by assembling the shed directly in your backyard, which we’ll explain next.

Option 3: Build the Shed Onsite

If removing a section of the fence isn’t possible and you don’t want to use a crane, the shed can be built onsite. Our team delivers the materials and assembles the shed right in your backyard.

• Pro: No need to alter or remove the fence; your yard stays intact.
• Con: Takes more time than delivering a preassembled shed and can be slightly more expensive.

What We Offer:
We specialize in onsite builds for situations like this. Our crew will bring all the necessary materials and construct the shed in your backyard with precision and care. This option eliminates concerns about fence removal or crane logistics while ensuring you get the high-quality shed you need.
