Building a shed is an exciting time with so many opportunities, and a shed will no longer be that typical dark and depressing storage room because now you can add innovative features like sliding doors! At Fair Dinkum Builds, when you build a custom shed with sliding doors, your shed will become that bright and spacious place that you just won't get enough of.
Build your shed with specially designed sliding doors
Sliding doors add a fresh dynamic to residential sheds. Not only do they make the space more accessible, but they also allow for a ton of natural light to fill the room, making it brighter and well-ventilated. Whether you're using it as a storage room, workshop, home office or maybe even a house, adding sliding doors instantly makes your shed design more open, inviting and bright.

Why build a shed with sliding doors?
Buying a shed with sliding doors means you'll be able to use it for more than just storage; it now becomes a multifunctional space that you can use for almost anything. Here are some benefits of adding a sliding door to your shed:
-
Sheds with sliding doors have more space. Adding sliding doors to your shed, instead of the typical doors on hinges, means you'll have more space to utilise your shed. There's no worrying about if things will get in the way of the door. Sliding doors also offer more space to enter and exit, giving you easy access to your shed
-
Sliding doors add more light. Sheds that have sliding doors also provide a large area for natural light to filter in. Your shed will get a sufficient amount of light, so much so that you won't need to install or use additional lights during the day. In the end, adding a sliding door to your shed can help you save on electrical costs
-
Sliding doors offer better ventilation. Your sliding doors can act as huge windows, so you'll also have amazing ventilation in your shed. Designing a shed with sliding doors is a great way to try to keep your shed cool during the hot Australian summers, and good ventilation is essential if you intend on using your shed as a workshop
Fully customisable design
We believe that each one of our customers is unique, and therefore, we offer you the opportunity to design fully customisable sheds to suit your needs. This includes everything from the size to the colours and, of course, the option to add sliding doors and other extra features. All this is done through our shed designer app, where you can design your shed however you like, and once we've received your designs, we can provide you with a free quote.
Built to last
At Fair Dinkum Builds, we're committed to giving our customers the best quality, advice and service. We use the best Australian-made steel materials like Colorbond and Stramit for durability and strength. You'll also be happy to know that we back our sheds with an industry-leading 30-year system warranty, which ensures your shed will stand firm against Australia's harsh wind conditions.
Our sheds are also ShedSafe accredited, meaning they are built to surpass the requirements of the highest Australian safety standards. This ensures our sheds with sliding doors definitely comply with state, national, and territory building code requirements.
