Calgary's composite decking selection just got bigger.

Typically 5–10 business days from order to Calgary driveway for in-stock composite + railing + accessory orders. Hardscape is usually 7–14 business days because the freight is heavier and routes differently. Tighter timelines are possible on specific lanes — call 306-249-3325 and we'll check carrier transit times for your address before you commit. Out-of-stock items add manufacturer lead time (typically 1–2 weeks for Trex Transcend / Lineage / Signature, similar for Pioneer-tier composites).

Yes — terminal-pickup is often the cheapest LTL option for Calgary contractors and homeowners with a half-ton + trailer. We ship to the Calgary-area LTL freight terminal (Calgary has multiple — we'll route to whichever is closest to your job site), you pick up with government ID + the bill of lading we email you. No lift-gate fee, no residential surcharge. Best fit for contractors with their own flatbed already running. Ask at quote time and we'll route accordingly.

Inspect the freight at the moment of delivery — every Calgary LTL delivery requires a signed proof-of-delivery. Note any visible damage on the BOL before signing; that's the trigger for the carrier's freight claim. We help navigate the claim process from the TUDS side: providing photos of the original palletizing, original purchase documentation, and replacement orders at TUDS-side cost. Calgary buyers should also photograph any damage immediately on arrival before unwrapping (timestamps matter for claims). We don't claim to file warranty claims on the customer's behalf — that's the carrier's process — but we walk you through it and replace damaged boards at our cost.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The driving math: Calgary to Saskatoon is approximately 620km / 6.5 hours one-way, so 13 hours round-trip plus fuel + a half-ton-plus-trailer rental if you don't have one. For small orders (1 skid or less) that round-trip cost frequently exceeds the LTL freight quote. For very large multi-skid orders, the LTL quote scales up faster than your truck/trailer cost — and a single in-and-out trip might pencil. Call 306-249-3325 and we'll run the math both ways before you decide. Calgary contractors who already make Saskatoon trips for other reasons sometimes time their TUDS pickup to the same trip.

Yes — sample shipping to Calgary is standard. Composite board offcuts (8" sections of any colour we stock), railing infill samples, paver samples — we mail them parcel post or expedited courier depending on weight. Sample cost is at-cost; we don't mark up samples. Most Calgary buyers order 3–5 samples to compare in their actual yard light against their actual siding. Email saskatoon@tuds.ca with the colours you want or call 306-249-3325.

The closest TUDS showroom is Saskatoon (320 68th Street East), 620km east. If you're already heading east on business it's worth a swing-by — we have every brand on this page mounted as full-length boards on the sample wall, in daylight, year-round. If a Calgary trip isn't in the cards, our sample program ships to Calgary at cost. Most Calgary homeowners order 3–5 samples first, then estimate the full project once they've held the colour against their siding. The brand hubs (Trex, Eva-Last, Fiberon, Deckorators) carry full colour libraries with high-res swatches as a starting point.

Different angles on the same job. Home Depot Calgary wins on entry-tier price + same-day pickup if Veranda or budget Trex is what you need. Local Calgary specialty yards (Mountain View Building Materials, The Cedar Shop, The Deck Store, TimberTown) are strong if they happen to stock the brand + tier you want; they're a respected part of the Calgary trade. TUDS is the four-brand authorized composite dealer + multi-line railing + multi-line hardscape supplier 620km east, with LTL freight to Calgary; we win when selection breadth, multi-skid pricing, or expert decking advice matters more than same-day pickup. Multi-skid orders are typically where TUDS LTL beats local Calgary supply by the widest margin. We're not trash-talking the Calgary trade — we're a different kind of supplier filling a different kind of gap.
