Our sheds, garages, and carports are made using high-quality Australian bluescope steel to provide fantastic durability that will last for years and withstand any weather. It has fantastic heat resistance to offer protection in the warm Bathurst summers, with cladding options that keep you warm in the winter. Its watertight design makes it a good option in Bahturst, although we do recommend adding gutters to help move rainwater away from your space.
Although our steel is more expensive than others on the market, it comes with durability that ensures your building is here to stay. Plus, a thirty-year warranty on your new steel building means you don't need to worry about anything!
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a garage, carport, or shed in Bathurst?
Typically, you need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Bathurst, unless you meet the exempt development requirements. These requirements will vary depending on the type of building and its size, but usually, you will not need planning permission for:
-
Sheds that are smaller than 20 square meters in residential areas and 50 square meters in rural areas
-
Carports that are less than 3 meters tall and more than 900 mm away from a property boundary
-
Garages that are smaller than 30 square meters
If your design does not meet these requirements, you will need to gain planning permission from your local council. You will usually need to include detailed site plans and the location fo your building before council approval is given. We have extensive local knowledge and can help you design your build to ensure it meets regulations and assist you with the application process.
How do I know my build is compliant?
Your build comes with certified engineering plans and certificates of compliance, reassuring you that your build is compliant and safe to use. Our certificates prove compliance with the Building Code of Australia and National Construction Code, so you don't need to worry about anything when you set foot inside them. These certificates can be used to prove to our council that the buildings are compliant, if needed, and should be kept safe for insurance purposes.
How are your builds priced?
Each of our builds are priced individually, and we offer competitive prices on all sheds, garages, and carports. We take into account your space, the design, and materials you have chosen when giving you your quote, which includes all engineering and installation costs, so there are no hidden surprises.
Can I install my own shed, garage, or carport?
While you can install your own shed kit, we do not recommend carrying out installations on any of our custom designs, garages, or carports. We recommend letting our builders carry out the work to ensure your building is installed correctly and safely. We work with professionals across the country, including in Bathurst, who can safely and efficiently install your building. The cost of installation is also included in the price of your build, so why not let the experts do their work?
How do I care for my building?
Caring for your building is easy, as it simply requires regular hosing down with water to remove grime and other contaminants. When additional materials are used, there might be other cleaning requirements. We will inform you before installing your build to keep it clean and well-maintained.
How do I design my order?
You can design your order using our design tool, which brings every design to life. Input the size of your space, and you can see how your shed, garage, or carport will look on your land, giving you a better idea of the space before construction begins. Our tool is made with building regulations in mind, so you can be sure that every design is safe and complies with the National Construction Code.
We can also help design your order in store, so make an appointment to see one of our experts in our Bathurst showroom.
Can I add a second storey to my shed?
We create many two-storey sheds and can help you add a second storey to your shed. When adding other levels to your shed, we can help with guidance on the positioning of stairs, the layout of your second storey, and more to ensure it is the perfect space. Speak to one of our experts in Batthurst for more information on adding a second storey.
Do you sell shed kits?
We do offer a range of shed kits that you can choose from. Our shed kits are ideal if you want to add a ready-done shed to your land, without needing to spend hours designing it.

-

Can a carport add value to my home?
Carports can add value to your home, provided they are functional and well-maintained. Carports provide a safe and secure space to keep vehicles, which many potential buyers look for and are willing to pay extra for. If you have a carport on your home, you will need to ensure it is free from damage and fit for use before listing your home for sale to ensure it increases your home's value.
