How do i get prefabricated wall pannels?

1- You can only buy them when it is time, i.e. when the current task specifically asks for it.
2- You can only buy them when you have rented a special trailer and placed it in the loading area at the walls factory.

So, I've rented a trailer, and it is waiting in the painted area at the wall factory, and my current task is to get 8xpre-formed wall from the wall factory....but it is still grayed out...WTF?

I was able to get one load and delivered it to the construction site, in the taped off area. What do you do next? I even tried lifting them onto the building in the yellowed area, but that doesn't do anything. So frustrating that they don't tell you the details of what you need to do!

look buddy, this is 2 years old, do you really think its a good idea responding...

Prefab wall tasks don't need a taped-off area. My guess is you have 2 current tasks.
What you need to do:
1- At the wall factory, get a trailer in the loading area and buy the wall elements. They come packaged into wall frames.
2- Drive them to the site and unload the wall frames on the ground. No specific area for this.
3- Walk to the wall frames and "Detach" them with the "F" key. No the crane can grab individual elements.
4- Use a crane for lifting each individual element to its marked place (red shadow).
5- Get rid of the wall frames by selling them back (in the menu).

The only task is to get the walls. Got the truck and trailer in the loading area. No option to buy wall elements. The only thing I've ever been able to do is have my worker complete that task.
