Custom Sheds, Garages & Carports Cairns
Building a new shed or garage on your property is a significant undertaking, one where you shouldn't settle for anything less than a quality job. Here at Fair Dinkum Builds, we allow you to design your garage or shed, creating a space that suits your needs and preferences. We aim to make our builds customisable in a variety of ways, giving you the option to choose:
-
Choose your shed or garage profile: Choose a modern or traditional design, or somewhere in between; the choice is yours.
-
Choose your shed or garage colours: Sift through our extensive range of COLORBOND® paints to find the colour that matches or complements your house.
-
Choose your shed or garage roller doors: Select the style of door you want or install a variety of roller doors to provide accessibility and security to your shed or garage.
-
Choose your shed or garage roof pitch: Consider the roof pitch you want, whether a flat roof, gabled, or skillion, you have the freedom to choose.
-
Choose your shed or garage extras: Let's not forget the extras like windows, skylights, doors, or a mezzanine that improve the function of your build
Carports aren't just there to give your car shade; they provide essential protection against the elements and improve the value and appeal of your home. With us, like our sheds and garages, our carports also come with a variety of customisation options, allowing you to have a say over what it looks like, how big it is, and its overall aesthetic. When building a carport with Fair Dinkum, you can:
-
Please select the roof style you want, including its pitch and size, whether flat or gabled.
-
Size is also not an issue, with customisable sizes for a single, double, triple, or larger carport to fit all the vehicles you need.
-
With our range of colours, you can match your carport to your home or choose a colour that sets it apart.
-
If you need some extra protection from the elements, we could build in a semi-closed carport, offering you some benefits of a garage but at a fraction of the cost.
Cairns is in far North Queensland, placing it in a more tropical climate. It's humid and has predominantly two seasons, wet and dry. No matter what, we build all our sheds, garages, and carports with the climate in mind. Using high-grade, quality Australian-made steel, carports, garages, and sheds in Cairns will withstand the climate, regardless of what it throws at them.
While using premium materials may not always be the cheapest, it ensures longevity and quality, giving you the best return on your investment. Furthermore, our builds are all engineered to meet and exceed the Australian standards, offering you peace of mind regarding their safety and quality.
Frequently asked questions
Will you take care of council approvals for me?
Yes, our services cover the local council approval process, including doing the paperwork and getting approval on your behalf. So you don't have to be concerned with getting approval yourself.
Can you build the shed and supply it?
Our standard process is to assist our clients with designing their build, sourcing and providing materials, and building it.
What kind of materials do you use?
For all our builds, we only use high-quality, Australian-made steel and other high quality materials. This ensures that our builds will stand the test of time against the Cairns climate.
Is it possible to customise my shed?
Yes, we offer you the option to completely customise your shed with us helping you tailor the design to meet your specific requirements and needs.
Does your quote include installation?
We always offer our clients a free quote that can either include or exclude installation. We recommend getting both to consider the most cost-effective solution.

Do you sell carports?
We also supply carport kits. If you have the know-how and the right tools, we can send you the materials and instructions, and you can build your carport. If you need some assistance, we're a call away.
