Our sheds, garages, and carports are made using high-quality steel, which makes them ideal for Ballarat. You won’t need to worry about strong winds damaging your sheds, as the light yet sturdy steel will not move. We ensure that every component is secured together, and offer several insulation options that keep you warm and stop any draughts from entering your shed. To combat the rain, our sheds, garages, and carports are all rust-resistant, too! Plus, as the temperatures rise in Ballarat summers, our steel won’t warp or sustain any other damage, keeping you safe.
While the steel we use is a little pricier than others on the market, its durability and weather resistance make it the perfect choice for Ballarat. Plus, it comes with a thirty-year warranty, so you never need to worry about expensive repairs!
Frequently asked questions
Will you install my shed?
We can help with the installation of your shed, ensuring it is built correctly and safely. Unless you choose a shed kit from us, we recommend that you let us take charge of your shed installation. We work with a team of builders across the country, including in Ballarat, to carry out safe and swift installations that allow you to use your shed worry-free.
We also provide you with a cost breakdown of your shed installation so there are no surprises or hidden fees.
Can I spread the cost of my build?
Yes, you can spread the cost of your shed, garage, or carport with us. We understand that not everyone has the budget for their dream building right away and offer several payment options where you can spread the cost over several months. The availability of these will depend on your design and location. To find out more about our payment plans, speak to an expert in your Ballarat showroom.
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Ballarat?
Yes, you will need a building permit for a shed, garage, or carport in Ballarat. You can avoid needing a permit if your shed is made of steel or timber and is less than 3 meters in height, or 2.4 meters when within 1m of a boundary and has a floor area less than 10m².
To get a building permit in Ballarat, you need a registered building surveyor. They will assess your project and complete the application process for you, ensuring that the right permit is processed for your work. We can help you obtain this and guide you through the process, ensuring you have an appropriate surveyor for your project.
What materials are used for your buildings?
We work with only the best, high-quality steel for all of our buildings. By using high-quality steel, we ensure incredible durability and protection against the elements. No matter where you live, you can enjoy an insulated shed, garage, or carport that won't be plagued by changes in the weather. All of our materials are locally sourced where possible, too, and you are given a complete breakdown of the materials used so you know exactly what is used to make your building.
Can I customise my shed?
Yes, we offer complete customisation on our sheds, so that you can create the perfect shed for your needs. You can customise nearly every feature, including the cladding and roof pitch, and add any extras that you need to ensure it is the ideal space for you.
How do I design my order?
Your order can be designed using our software tool. You can input the size of your space and bring your design to life, seeing how it will look on your land. Our tool is made with local regulations in mind, so you can be sure that your building will be safe and approved before construction begins.
Do you sell shed kits?
We offer shed kits for anyone that wants a ready-to-go shed that can be added to your space.

Can I add electricity to a carport?
Electricity can be added to your carport, increasing your visibility at night and allowing you to charge electric cars. An electrician is usually required to add electricity to your carport, which can increase the cost of your carport. Adding electricity to a carport can help increase your space's value, making it advantageous if you plan to sell soon.
