Frequently Asked Question (FAQ’s)

What are the timelines to receive my Enclave Outdoor Structure once I place an order and payment is received?

All processed orders will typically be completed and ready for delivery in 4-6 weeks from date of a finalized order, which would include receipt of deposit, and the final Enclave options are selected. Until that time orders are deemed as pending.

Do I need to obtain a permit to build in my backyard?

The answer is typically Yes. You will need to check with your local municipality for their requirements. Your Enclave will most likely fall under a permit category of either a shed or cabana type structure. An Enclave of 120 square feet or below may not need a building permit beyond a shed which is why a 10’ x 12’ or smaller Enclave is a good option.

Also check your subdivision building covenants or rules to ensure you can erect one on your property without prior approval.

Is my Enclave Outdoor Structures engineered?

Yes, the Enclave models are pre-engineered for structural integrity, sheer or updraft wind loads and snow loads. If a stamped plan is required by your municipality, we can provide that for an additional engineering and stamp fee.

What materials are used when building my Enclave Outdoor Structures?

All materials used on your Enclave Outdoor Structure are of a professional exterior grade material for long term durability with warranty’s up to 50 Years. We utilize a variety of high-quality raw and finished materials to manufacture your Enclave such as: Hardie Board, MiraTec, LP Smarttrim, Medium Density Plywood (MDO) and vinyl windows.

What exterior paint colors are available for my Enclave Outdoor Structures?

This will need to have trenching from your house panel and connected to the outside connection of the Enclave.  Check with your municipality, as you may need an electrical permit. All trenching and electrical hook up costs as well as installation of any additional fixtures or appliances is not covered in by Enclave Outdoor Structures package.

The HVAC unit and associated installation and electrical cost on site is an additional cost and not included in Enclave model price. This needs to be determine before your Enclave order will begin manufacturing.

Note, this will also require you to order an Enclave electrical package to be included in your order.
