Big Buildings We understand that some sheds are just not big enough. That is why we created a garage shed for those who really need to maximize their space. These large sheds can accommodate any needs you have—storing heavy-duty tools and equipment while still having the space to work on other projects. Think of our garage shed as an addition to your home. The Vista and Summit can be used for just about anything such as: a man cave, workshop, storage, art studio, music studio, garage (on concrete slab), home office, or hobby room.

Heartland will contact you within 48 business hours of receipt of order to schedule a tentative shed installation date. 3ft. of clearance around entire building is required. 4ft. if larger than 160 sq. ft. Prior to the arrival of the shed installer, the installation site needs to be cleared and prepared to within 6in. of level. First, determine the four corners of the shed. Next, pound wooden stakes into the ground. Last, add a string, and using a line level, determine how much excavation is needed. Check with HOA for any special or local building requirements. Access to electricity required within 150ft. or an additional $75 generator charge will apply. Our buildings are not pre-fabricated, our professional shed installers build right in your backyard. Fenced-in yards are not a problem as long as you have a 3ft. gate with easy access to the shed installation site. For sites that are not level a leveling block package may be purchased. 12” is the maximum recommended height that a leveling block package should be used.

Pergolas and Gazebos Pages 16 and 17 in the Heartland Catalog feature the Pergolas and Gazebos that can be built DIY or as an Installed Option. The DIY kit, like the sheds, does not come with shingles. When the Installed Option is chosen, the shingles are included and installed. As with the sheds there are five colors from which to choose.

Page 15 Storage Building Accessories Page 15 lists which accessories can be sold with what series of sheds. Make sure you are familiar with what comes with the shed to make sure you do not sell them an item that is already included. Each shed should have a description in the catalog as to what items are standard. Selling items that are included could lead to a refund/rebill if you are not careful. The new m2o system is helpful in keeping you from double ordering some items. Make sure you enter m2o through SOS Millwork.

Page 18 Specifications

The two page spread on page 18 can be very helpful. It lists each shed, what page it can be found on, its “nominal” size, its “foundation” size (which is important for shed being build on a slab), how many gallons and quarts of paint, how many bundles of shingles, and how many sheets of floor sheeting the Value Series sheds will required. This page is very helpful for your DIY customers and will help you sell additional materials for them to complete their sheds.

Heartland Binder Here is your Heartland Binder. Each store has at least one binder, usually located at the Commercial Sales desk, while other stores have more. In the binder you should be able to find things such as DIFM and DIY program overviews, copies of catalogues and brochures, m2o Instructions, ISST instructions for playsets, as well as information for sheds being built on slabs and more. There is also a FAQ section for DIFM and DIY. Almost everything you need to know about Heartland is in this binder, the Heartland Catalog, and the play brochure. Many stores add the faxes they receive from our branch, from time to time, to the front of this book. From time to time some of this information changes, as it always does, and a Heartland representative will be by to update the binder when changes are made.

You can generally find this Binder at the Commercial Sales Desk.

Your white Heartland Binder, which can normally be found at the Commercial Sales Desk, will have this page inside explaining about concrete slabs. The exact measurements for each slab can be found on page 18 of the Heartland Catalog under the column titled: Actual Foundation Size (w x d). The customer must use this measurement when pouring the concrete slab. Remember the slab MUST be level and it MUST be square! It is very important for Lowe’s to notify the Heartland Branch that the shed will be constructed on a concrete slab. This way we can speak with the customer about what they need to do before we arrive and how the shed will sit on the slab. This will also inform us to send additional materials to accommodate for the concrete slab.

From time to time you will find some of our sheds and playsets with a Display for Sale sign on them. This means that the Heartland Branch is selling the display, for one reason or another, and it will have a price written on the sign. Remember that all displays are owned by Heartland and are NOT to be sold by Lowe’s. If a customer wants to buy the display they will need to call the number at the bottom of the sign.

Moving Heartland Display Sheds We understand that sheds need to be moved around from time to time. It is always recommended to have a Heartland representative present to assist in the moving of any shed. We know that this is not always possible and we wanted to take this opportunity to offer a few “tips” when moving a shed. Please take precautions when moving our sheds. Always use two pallet jacks when moving a shed; one on the front of the shed and one on the back of the shed.

Using two pallet jacks will make it easier to move the shed and will result in fewer problems and damage to the shed. Make sure you keep the housing of the pallet jacks about 4”-6” away from the shed so they do not damage it if they slide or move during transport.
