Fair Dinkum Builds
Bega Valley

Fair Dinkum Builds Bega Valley (formerly Coastal Country Sheds & Garages) have been servicing the region since 1975 from Bodalla to Eden and have extensive local experience and knowledge when it comes to all things sheds, garages, carports and more.

Local owner and operator Mark Stres has over 35 years' construction experience, is a licensed building professional and is a member of the Master Builders Association of Australia. 

Mark started in the construction industry in 1987, in specialised roofing trades, general construction and the building various manufacters pre-fabricated sheds. Mark's main supplier of steel role forming products since 1993 was & has been Stramit Building Products, using Colorbond Blue scope steel. In 2006, Mark was presented with the opportunity to start up a business with the original Fair Dinkum Shed network in the Monaro region, which gave him the independence to design, supply & erect his own structures. In 2010, the opportunity came along to purchase one of the oldest continually operated since 1993 kit shed supplier businesses in the Bega Valley, formally known as Coastal Country Shed Garages. This gave Mark the opportunity to hang up his tools. The rest is history, and now we are part of the Fair Dinkum Bulds family. 

With years of experience behind us, we provide a first class service and help guide our customers throughout the entire build journey - from initial designs and kit supply, through to build and post build inspections. 

We're also proud supporters of Men's shed association Bega, Bombala & Bermagui, supplying their structures.

We make all of our sheds, garages, and carports with high-wuality Australain steel to ensure they can withstand the climate of Bega. Our steel has excellent heat resistance, so you don't need to worry about the building warping. We can also help with cooling designs that allow you to work comfortably during heatwaves.

To help with the cold and wet winters, our steel construction provides a watertight design, and the rust-resistant design ensures your shed remains intact. While the steel is more expensive than others, it is one of the most durable on the market and will require little maintenance, even during extreme heat or frost. Plus, we offer a thirty-year warranty so you don't need to worry about anything going wrong and adding to your costs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for my build?

Most builds come with easy maintenance, where you will wash them regularly using a hose. The water helps to remove contaminants and grime, keeping your building clean and rust-free. We will inform you of additional cleaning steps if additional materials are used to construct your building. We make these clear to you to ensure you can keep your building clean from the get-go.

Do I need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Bega?

You can build a carport, shed, or garage in Bega without planning permission if it meets certain requirements. Your shed, garage, or carport must not be larger than 20 sqm in residential or 50 sqm in rural zones. The building must also not be taller than 3 meters and set back 900 mm or more from each boundary. If your design does not meet these requirements, you will need council approval.

To gain approval, you will need to apply, including details about the size of the design, where it sits, and any other properties on your land. Your council will consider all of this to determine if the project can go ahead. We have years of experience building carports, garages, and sheds in Bega and can help with your application and ensure your design meets regulations.

Can I pay monthly for my build?

We understand that not everyone can pay for their shed, garage, or caport outright and offer several payment plans that allow you to spread the cost over several months. The availability of these plans will vary depending on your location and the design of your building, so speak to one of our experts at the Bega showroom to learn more.

Will you install my shed?

Yes, we will carry out the installation for you. All of our sheds, garages, and carports are built by us, except our shed kits. We recommend that you have a professional carry out any installation to ensure your building is installed safely and correctly. We have a team of builders who we work with across the country, and they will arrive and install your shed without any delay.

Can I customise my shed?

All of our sheds can be customised, allowing you to create the perfect space. You can customise every feature, from the cladding to the type of doors, ensuring that it is fit for purpose. We offer customisation online using our design tool, where you can see your design come to life or visit our Bega showroom to speak to an expert.

Are your builds Shed Safe accredited?

Yes, every building we design is Shed Safe accredited. As a founding member, we ensure that every building is safe, so you don't need to worry about a thing. We also design them in line with building regulations set by the NCC and meet the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) standard for steel structures.

Can I buy a shed kit?

We sell a range of shed kits that provide a ready-to-go shed that can be easily installed on your property. Our shed kits come with detailed instructions that allow you to install them yourself, too. Our shed kits can also be customised to provide the perfect shed for your needs.

How can I care for my shed?

Caring for one of our sheds is easy. You will want to wash it with a hose regularly to keep it clean, removing contaminants or dirt. Regular washing will help keep your shed clean and free from rust. You might have additional cleaning requirements depending on the additional materials used o your shed. If this is the case, you will be provided with specific cleaning guidelines.

Are gutters essential for a gutter?

We think gutters are essential for your garage in Bega. The moderate levels of rainfall mean gutters are needed to direct rainfall away from your garage, reducing the risks of leaks. Gutters can be added to your garage design, and we recommend you have a builder check the foundation of your garage before construction begins to prevent water pooling.

Do you sell garage kits? 

We offer a variety of garage kits that allow you to install a garage without needing to carry out any designing. The garage kits are ideal for anyone who is short of time but wants practical storage for their business. You can choose from the following garage kit sizes:

  • Single garage kit

  • Double garage kit

  • Triple garage kit

  • Four-vehicle garage kit 

We do offer customisation on the garage kits too, so you can make any finishing touches to create the perfect space.

Will a carport add value to my home?

A carport can add value to your home. Potential buyers will look for a space to park their car off-road, offering security and protecting it from accidents. Well-maintained carports can add value to your home, as the new buyer will not need to spend money renovating or repairing them.

Do you sell carport kits?

We offer a range of carport kits if you want a ready-made carport to be added to your home. Our ready-to-go carports are perfect if you aren't bothered about the design of the carport, available in the following sizes:

  • Single carport

  • Double carport
