Production Time

All Palouse Ranches products are made to order. Lead times are subject to change based on current production load. Our team works hard to build products in a timely manner; however, supply-chain interruptions, engineering reviews, permit approvals, and material delays may create longer wait times out of our control.

Materials

The pipe and wood used in our products purchased are not treated. Service life is based on the deterioration of the materials used. Wet weather conditions may cause iron oxide discoloration on boards. We recommend sealing the lumber on your shelter with an oil-based product. Water-based treatments may cause additional discoloration; however, this discoloration has no effect on structural integrity.

Delivery

All Palouse Ranches products are delivered by contracted drivers. Delivery scheduling is subject to the driver’s schedule, current weather, road conditions, and road restrictions due to holidays, construction, etc. In the winter, delivery may be delayed due to the closure of passes and unsafe hauling conditions. Delivery fees are based on address input at the time of checkout; however, additional fees may apply based on location and will be reviewed prior to finalization of order (ex: pilot cars, ferry fees, truck routes, etc.) Should your delivery address change between order and delivery date, additional transport costs may apply.

Placement Time

Deliveries are scheduled to (1) hour maximum. If shelter placement takes longer due to the actions of the purchaser, there is an additional charge of $75/ hour after the first hour. Driver(s) will notify of any charges that will be incurred for longer placement times before completing placement. Requests to move existing buildings may be accommodated; however, payment and rate negotiation will occur directly between the purchaser and contracted delivery company. Palouse Ranches will liaison the delivery and placement of newly purchased unit(s) only.

Shelter Placement

Drivers will try their best to place shelters in the desired location; though it is not guaranteed our drivers can safely / reasonably reach your location. If a driver is unable to place the shelter in the purchaser’s preferred location, the purchaser may elect to move the shelter using personal vehicles/equipment.

Long Term Storage

Please notify Palouse Ranches within (7) business days of your order of any issues or delays that may occur based on the estimated production and delivery timeline. Once production is complete and any remaining balance due is paid, your shelter will be scheduled for delivery. If delivery is delayed due to customer request (ex: not ready for delivery due to site prep, moving locations, etc.) additional storage fees may apply at $5/day per shelter. Should Palouse Ranches be unable to reach customer locations due to poor weather, road conditions, etc. no storage fees will apply and delivery will be scheduled when drivers are able to reach customer property

Awnings

Awnings arrive “down” in the transport position and must be lifted and bolted into the final position once on site. Please notify Palouse Ranches in advance of requests for driver placement of awnings. Please notify of any equipment on site available to assist in placement. Purchaser will need to be on-site for delivery to assist the driver and use personal equipment. If a driver does not have purchaser assistance in awning placement, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to move the awning in the final position

Permits & Regulations

The purchaser is responsible for knowing the building permit requirements of his/her local municipality/county. It is up to the discretion of the purchaser whether or not to obtain a building permit. The seller is not liable for any fees the purchaser may incur for failing to obtain a permit. Palouse Ranches will provide in-house drafted drawings, Engineering services, and materials needed for permitting for an additional fee. Please note that our shelters have a general wind and snow load when anchoring; however, guaranteed ratings require official plans stamped by our Engineering services which are available for Washington, Idaho, and Oregon sales. Please contact our sales staff for pricing. If for any reason we need to pick your shelter up because of permitting issues, there will be a $600 fee up to 150 miles, and $7/mile after that. Our shelters are not Engineered for human occupancy.

Anchoring

Palouse Ranches is not responsible for anchoring products. Please note, though our products are heavy, they can still move during extremely high-wind events. We suggest the shelter be turned to face away from the prevailing wind, which will minimize uplifting internal forces on the roof structure. Contact us for suggested anchoring systems that may be purchased separately from third-party vendors

Ground Prep / Excavation

Palouse Ranches is not responsible for ground prep and is not liable for any damages that occur to purchaser property due to unstable ground conditions. In the event two shelters are placed together and connected with flashing / ridge cap, it is recommended to level and compact the ground surface to avoid uneven settling of structures and ensure a hassle-free installation. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure adequate ground preparation occurs prior to driver arrival and shelter placement. If a driver is installing a ridgecap on a multi-piece unit (ex: Farmstead) and site prep is inadequate / uneven, ridgecap may be left for buyer to install once proper site prep is finalized; however, the driver may not be able to finish installation if the units are sitting on an uneven surface.

Final Payment

The full balance of each shelter is due prior to scheduling delivery. If customer does not remit payment within (30) days of completion or make alternative arrangements with Palouse Ranches, storage fees may apply. Alternative arrangements regarding final payment must be made with Palouse Ranches via writing.

Returned Payment

If a payment is returned or denied after processing, a $50 returned payment fee will be added to the remaining balance.
