| Do the buildings come with a warranty? |
| Yes! Please see our Bunce Buildings Warranty. |
| Do I need a permit? |
| Yes. Most counties require permits for "Portable Storage Buildings" Usually if the longest wall is 12ft. or more. It is the responsibility of the property owner to obtain a permit prior to the delivery of the building. First call the "building inspector" for proper instructions.

| What are tie-downs and do I need them? |
| Tie-downs are anchoring devices that auger(screw) into the ground approximately 30" and have a wide galvanized strap that attaches to the strongest framing components under the building. These devices were originally designed for the mobile home industry. They protect the building from being blown off the leveling blocks at high winds. Bunce Buildings can install tie-downs at the four corners of the portable building during initial delivery and leveling, for a nominal extra charge. If we make a special trip later to do a tie-down the charge would be slightly higher. |
| How is the building delivered? |
| Bunce Buildings delivers the buildings usually with a heavy duty 4x4 drive pickup truck, a double or triple axle trailer, and hydraulic tilting capability and an electric cable winch. The truck and trailer must be maneuvered into the setup location and the building is rolled off the rear of the trailer. We are not equipped to do any leveling or grading of the land. The buildings are setup on the site selected by the property owner. Up to 20 leveling blocks are provided for leveling as part of the price. Additional blocks are presently $2.00 per block if more leveling is necessar |
| How is the building leveled? |
| The building is leveled using no mortar, stacked concrete block spacer pads under the outside 4x4 treated runners. The pads usually vary from 6' to 10' apart and the exact placement is determined by the trained delivery drivers. The lowest corner is started with a 4" solid concrete block measuring 4"x8"x16" laid flat against the ground. All support pads are started out with a 4" thick solid block against the ground. If more height is needed the delivery truck carries 8" high wall blocks, and thinner solid blocks, wood shims, and locust wooden wedges. Bunce Buildings suggests tie-down anchors for any building if a corner is over 20" high. If a corner is over a certain limit than the column may be "double blocked" which creates a 16" x 16" square column with the blocks stacked in an inner locking bond pattern. After 20 leveling blocks there is an additional charge per block. |
