Are you looking for a shed on the South Shore of Montreal? Whether you are in Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, Brossard, Boucherville, Chambly, or Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Cabanon Simplicité manufactures, delivers, and installs prefabricated sheds and garages throughout the region — with a sales outlet on the South Shore, at 8490 chemin de Chambly in Saint-Hubert, to view the models in person before ordering.
This guide covers what a South Shore homeowner needs to know: the dimensions that fit on a typical suburban lot, real prices, where to find the permit rules for YOUR city, delivery times, and the unique clay soil conditions of the region.
Why buy from a local manufacturer on the South Shore?
The difference between a big-box store shed and a locally manufactured shed becomes apparent in the third year, not on the day of purchase.

Delivery in just a few weeks. Our sheds are manufactured in Quebec and delivered assembled or in kit form. Typical lead time: 3 to 6 weeks, installation included.
35 years of expertise. We have been manufacturing sheds, cabanas, and garages for over 35 years, with more than 500 recent completions and 2,000+ instant quotes generated.

Permits: where to find your city's regulations
All South Shore municipalities require a permit or certificate of authorization before installing a shed, even a prefabricated one, and even without a permanent foundation.
Rules generally apply to:
the maximum area of the accessory building (often a % of the backyard)
the maximum height
the authorized location (backyard only, in most cases)
the materials and colors, in certain areas
easements (Hydro, city, drainage) that may restrict a part of your property
Exact figures vary from city to city — and from one zone to another within the same city. Rather than giving you values that might be outdated, here is the official website for each municipality we serve. Search for "permit", "zoning", or "accessory building", or simply call the town planning department.

Foundation: the challenge of the South Shore's clay soil
This is the point that South Shore buyers underestimate the most. A large part of the region — especially the Longueuil–Brossard–La Prairie sector and the Richelieu plain — sits on sensitive clay. This soil swells, shrinks, and heaves with frost much more than sandy soil.
Foundation Type | Cost | Performance on Clay |
|---|---|---|
Compacted gravel (0-3/4) | $ | Acceptable for a small shed; leveling to be adjusted every few years |
Concrete slab | $$$ | Stable, but expensive and permanent |
Screw piles | $$ | The best compromise on clay — below the frost line, no shifting |
