Alan's Factory Outlet Gazebo Kits and Pergola Kits are both shipped Nationwide in the USA. Gazebo Kits and Pergola Kits are Handcrafted by the Amish and are precut with all of the hardware and instructions included.
Gazebo Kits come in Pressure Treated Wood and Vinyl. Gazebo Kits come with a Roof to provide you with additional protection from the elements.
Pergola Kits are only available in Pressure Treated Wood. Pergola Kits do not give you the roof protection but they do give you a tranquil place to relax on a summer day. The Pergola Kits are also much more economical since they do not have a fully closed roof.
Alan's Factory Outlet Gazebo Kit Prices and Pergola Kit Prices are online for you to view them.

Many people wonder how our Sheds, Horse Barns, Garages, Two Story Sheds and Gazebos are delivered.
The picture above will give you some visual insight on how this is achieved. The truck and shed trailer total approximately 52 feet in length. The driver will need enough room to either back the Storage Building into place or drive it to the location with plenty of room to turn around. If the driver cannot drive to the site due to obstacles, weather or terrain he will place the building as close as possible. It is your responsibility to make sure the property is properly accessible for a smooth delivery.
The clearance we need to successfully deliver the Shed is 2 feet wider than your building. Example: If your building is 12' wide you will need a foot on each side, totaling 14' wide clearance. The height clearance needed is about 13 - 15 feet depending on the style and height of the Shed.
Some people wonder what is the best foundation or pad for a Storage Shed? The most important aspect is that the pad is level whether you are sitting the building directly on the ground, on a 4-6" tampered down gravel pad or placing the building on concrete.
I hope this has been helpful and informative.

Wood Storage Buildings or Metal Carports are two great products which both can be used for a many different needs.
As everyone knows one is made of wood and the other made is made of Metal, but that is just the begining of the differences.
Alan's Factory Outlet Wood Storage Buildings are Prebuilt by the Amish and delivered on a truck and trailer. The Wood Storage Buildings are custom built to meet your needs with the style, size and colors to match your home. They come painted with a shingle roof. They also have double doors with a lock and two keys. The key point about the Wood Storage Buildings is that they are built like a house with 2x4 side walls and 2x4 roof joists both 16" On Center. Extra Doors and windows can be added and you get to pick the location of the windows and doors. Another thing about the Wood Storage Buildings is they are portable which means if you need them moved they can easily be moved. Not only does Alan's Factory Outlet have Wood Storage Buildings but Vinyl Storage Buildings are available. 
Alan's Factory Outlet Metal Carports make a great cover for your Car, Truck, Boat or Farm Equipment. Metal Carports are going to be more economical than the Wood Storage Buildings. Another Advantage that the Metal Carports have is they are built on site so if you don't have enough room for a Prefabricated Wood Storage Building to be delivered the Metal Carport can be built on site. At the same time that same advantage turns into a disadvantage if you need to move the metal carport. The carport can still be moved however it is a lot harder and each time you take the carport apart and then put it back together it loses some of its strength. Another point is the metal carports do not have a floor where the wood storage buildings come with a wooden floor. Metal Carports can also be enclosed and turned into a metal Garages.
One thing both the Wood Storage Buildings and Metal Carports have in common is they are custom built in the colors you want and come in many different styles and sizes.
Vist Alan's Factory Outlet Display lot at 643 West Main St. Luray, VA. 22835 to see the differences for yourself of the Wood Storage Buildings and Metal Carports.

Which do you think is better owning a Storage Building or renting a storage unit?
I want to point out a few things to think about.
Did you know that the average storage rental unit fee is $75 a month. That is $900 a year. Did you know you can own a 10' x 14' Storage Shed for about $2,000. So in a little over two years time you can own a Shed.
Example: $75 / month rental fee
x 26 / months rental usage
___________________________________
$1950.00 / Wow, you could own a shed!
Storage Sheds are also portable. Many landlords allow Portable Sheds to be placed on the property and when the tenant leaves they can take the building with them.
Lets not miss the convenience factor. You need something from storage it is right in your own back yard. You have easy access to your belongings 24/7. Your belongings are also protected by your own watchful eye. No one can take care of your personal property like you can.
Now lets talk about rent-to-own. A lot of people seem to be attracted to this, but I wonder how many people know they are paying for the Shed twice, maybe even three times. Can you imagine! eek!
Just something to think about.

Have you thought about a Gazebo for Your Wedding? Do you have a Son or Daughter getting married soon? Do you have an Anniversary Party coming up?
A
Gazebo is a wonderful way to celebrate the occasion.
With some simple decorating you can transform your Gazebo to suit any occasion
When the memories have been made and the occasion has passed your Gazebo can still be enjoyed year after year for future occasions, family gatherings or just relaxing.
Alan's Factory Outlet has Wood &
Vinyl Gazebos in many different sizes. If you have a tight space, you may want to consider a
Gazebo Kit, rather than a Prefab Gazebo delivered.
The Double Roof Gazebo, pictured above, was decorated very simple and for less than $25, but it totally transformed the look. Weddings can be beautifully done right in your own back yard, with a timeless Gazebo and some decorations. This can be an inexpensive, but gorgeous way to enjoy your special day.
What could you do with a gazebo?

With The Lumber Materials Needed to Build the Sheds and Garages Increasing it is but a matter of time until this increase in production costs will lead to an increase in the Price of Many of the Sheds and Garages.
The Wood and Vinyl Storage Sheds and Prefab Garages generally increase every year due to a normal increase in Material Cost Due to Normal Yearly Inflation and a general increase in Transportation Costs due to higher fuel costs.
Not sure of an exact date of the impending price increase but one of Our Amish Builders stated as soon as he gets the chance to calculate the new cost needed in materials for each size Shed and Garage the Prices will be going up.
Just wanted to pass on this new information for those on the fence of ordering in the near future.
Alan's Factory Outlet is located at 643 West Main St. Luray, VA. 22835. Alan's Factory Outlet in Locally Owned and Operated by Alan and Julie. Alan and Julie Look forward to helping you with your storage needs.
