We use the highest-quality Australian steel on all of our sheds, garages, and carports in Bairnsdale to ensure they can withstand the hot summers and cold, rainy winters. Our steel has a fantastic heat-resistance, so it won't warp during the summer and is watertight to prevent any leaks during the winter. We do recommend adding gutters to help move rainwater away from your building.
Our structures can be paired with a variety of cladding options too, which can increase the temperature during the winter for comfortable working conditions, while keeping it cool during the hot summer months. Our steel is more expensive than others on the market, but it comes with outstanding durability, so you never need to worry about replacing it. Plus, the thirty-year warranty allows you to use your building worry-free.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Bairnsdale?
You might need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Bairnsdale, depending on the size of your build. Typically, permission isn't needed for the following:
-
Sheds smaller than 10 square meters and 3 meters in height
-
Carports smaller than 20 square meters (depending on the size of your land)
-
Non-habitable garages
For any other size, you will need approval from your local council. The local council approval process typically involves an application form including site plans, details of the location of your building, and the materials used. These applications can be confusing, but we can help guide you through them and offer any support you might need.
How do I design my order?
Yiu can use our design tool to design your order, where you will see your shed, garage, or carport come o life and how it will look in your space. Our design tool considers building regulations too, and will not let you continue with a design that does not meet these, keeping you safe and reducing any disappointment when we cannot bring your design to life.
Do your builds meet safety standards?
Yes, all of our builds meet safety standards set by the NCC. Each build will meet regulations across Australia and in your local area, so you don't need to worry about your safety in the building.
We also ensure that every build is Shed Safe accredited and meets the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) standard for steel buildings.
Can I install my build myself?
Unless you are purchasing one of our shed kits, we do not recommend installing your build yourself. Our builds can involve complex assembly (depending on the design), and it is better to let our experts carry out the installation. Our team of builders will safely and efficiently install your build on your land. Plus, we include the installation cost in your quote, so why not take advantage and have someone build your shed, garage, or carport?
Can I pay monthly for my shed?
Yes, we have several payment options you can choose from that allow you to spread the cost of your shed, garage, or carport. Our monthly payment plans make it easier for everyone to achieve their dream shed, with their availability depending on your location and the design you choose. Speak to one of our experts in our Bainsdale showroom to find out more.
Do you sell shed kits?

Our shed kits are designed to be ready-to-go and installed by yourself, with detailed assembly instructions to help you build the shed.

How do I care for my shed?
Caring for your shed is very easy, all you need to do is regularly hose it down. Doing so removes any frime and contaminants, helping to keep your shed rust-free and functional.
