Outdoor Buildings Around Manchester

We've delivered sheds, garages, barns, cabins, and more throughout Manchester and across Washtenaw County over the years, from small city lots near the River Raisin and downtown Manchester to the farm, wooded, and preserved-land properties in Manchester, Sharon, and Bridgewater townships.

The River Raisin basin and preserved rural lands bring wetland, floodplain, and access considerations, and sloped rural sites may need extra grading for a level pad. We will plan it with you.

Rural Manchester-area properties are generally low on HOA rules, while newer subdivisions may add restrictions, so check yours before you order.

Permits & Site Prep in the Manchester Area

We have delivered and built for plenty of customers across the Manchester area. Here is what we generally see for permits and site prep, just to point you in the right direction.

Permit needed over 200 sq ft

Per the Western Washtenaw Construction Authority's accessory-structures guide, accessory structures to single family homes under 200 sq ft do not require a building permit but may still require zoning approval; WWCA issues building and trade permits where building-code permits are required.

Manchester permit guidelines

The permit details above come from the City of Manchester. Some Manchester mailing addresses actually fall under a neighboring township or village with its own rules, so confirm with the office that covers your exact property.

What the City of Manchester requires

Setbacks
Detached accessory structures are allowed only in rear yards and must remain behind all building lines adjacent to streets on corner lots. Residential detached accessory buildings/structures must be at least 10 ft from rear or side lot lines and at least 10 ft from any other building on the same lot or property.
Height & coverage
Residential detached accessory structures may not exceed 15 ft overall height. Combined ground-floor area may not exceed 450 sq ft plus 2% of total lot area, and may not exceed the ground-floor footprint of the dwelling's living area.

Foundations & site prep

We set most buildings on a level gravel pad, which is all the majority of sheds and garages need. Larger or permanent structures can call for a concrete slab or a rat wall, a perimeter footing that keeps rodents out and meets code for a permanent foundation. We will walk through what your size and site actually need.

This is just information we are aware of, not the final word. Requirements can be more or less depending on your exact parcel and municipality, so we always advise checking directly with your local office before you build. We are glad to help you figure it out.

How delivery works here

Manchester is about 21 miles from our Adrian location. In-stock buildings from that lot include free delivery within 40 miles. Custom builds usually include free delivery within 150 miles of the Homestead Barns shops in Topeka, Indiana and Colon, Michigan.

Build On-Site

When access is tight, the ground slopes too far, a fence is in the way, or your site just can't take a finished delivery, our crew builds your structure piece by piece right on your property. Same craftsmen, same materials.

  • For wooded, sloped, or hard-to-reach sites
  • Built piece by piece on your property
