Jefferson County covers a lot of ground and a lot of different lots. Festus and Crystal City have older neighborhoods with mature trees and narrow side yards. Head toward De Soto or out into the county and you get hills, gravel drives and acreage. We deliver to all of it, and the building that suits one is often wrong for the other.
Older neighborhoods: access first, size second
In the older parts of Festus the limiting factor is almost never the yard, it is the gap you have to get through to reach it. Measure your narrowest point post to post. We need roughly two feet more than the width of the building, about thirteen feet of overhead clearance, and more turning room the longer the building is. The good news is that our delivery system can unload at the street and roll the building back into position, so a narrow driveway does not automatically disqualify you. Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you order.
County properties: pad and approach
On hillier ground the pad does all the work. Level, compacted gravel a foot or two larger than the footprint is the standard recommendation, and it needs to be level with a straightedge rather than by eye. If the site slopes, tell us in advance so the crew can plan the blocking. Make sure the drive is firm enough for a truck after a wet week, not just in summer. Our preparing for delivery page covers the details.
Picking the building
For general storage the lofted barn is the value leader, because the loft adds storage volume over the same ground footprint. For a workshop or anything you drive into, the garage and lofted garage styles have the width and headroom you want. For a guest space, studio or camp use, look at the cabin and side porch cabin. Compare them all on the building styles page, then set colors and options on the custom options page.
See it before you buy it
Build the exact configuration in our free 3D building designer. It takes a few minutes and it prevents the two most common regrets, which are a door in the wrong place and a size that was one step too small.
