Cardinal / Portable buildings
The Cardinal Guarantee.
Cardinal publishes a ten-year guarantee for eligible purchases made on or after March 1, 2026, covering product failure, wind-related shifting, freeze/thaw settling, and storm damage.
Its guarantee excludes C+, Eco Sheds, animal structures, and pre-owned buildings. Ask for the terms for your model; eligible products and coverage differ.
Read Cardinal’s guarantee ↗Keep your coverage in good standing.
Use a properly prepared, level site, maintain the building, avoid structural modifications, and use Cardinal-approved movers.
Exclusions include outside work, drainage/condensation issues, heating or cooling systems, neglect, misuse, animals, and later site erosion. Confirm ownership and transferability in writing.
Cardinal separately lists a two-year warranty for C+ buildings. See its policy and request your building’s full terms.
