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

You might need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Canberra. Some sheds, carports, and garages will be exempt if they meet certain size restrictions, like being no more than 10 meters squared for sheds or 50 meters squared for carports. There are height restrictions that they must also meet, and they need to be a certain distance from any property boundaries. You should check with your local council before proceeding, as sometimes additional restrictions can be in place. If your building is larger than the listed sizes, you must apply for council approval.

We have spent years designing and building sheds, garages, and carports in Canberra and will work with you to ensure that your building meets regulations. We can also assist you with your planning application if needed.

Are your builds Shed Safe accredited?

Yes, every single build we make is Shed Safe accredited. We are a founding member of Shed Safe and ensure that every build gets our seal of approval, assuring you that you will be safe in your shed, garage, or carport.

What materials are used for your buildings?

We only use high-quality steel for our buildings to provide durability and longevity. You can be sure that our building will last and can withstand any extreme weather that comes its way. We work with the highest quality materials that are locally sourced where possible, and we include a breakdown of the materials used in your shed, so there is no uncertainty about what they are made from.

All of our builds are designed to meet the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) standard for steel buildings, too, ensuring that our steel is used to keep you safe and provide sturdy buildings.

Can I customise my shed?

Yes! We offer complete customisation of our sheds, allowing you to create the perfect space for your needs. You can customise nearly every aspect of your shed, ensuring that it is practical and matches the aesthetics of other buildings.

Can I pay monthly for my build?

We do offer payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of your building. We know that not everyone can afford to pay outright for their building, allowing you to spread the cost over several months if needed. The availability of our payment plans will depend on your design and location, so pop into our Canberra showroom to see what options are available to you.

Can I install my own shed?

Unless you have purchased one of our shed kits, we do not recommend that you install your own shed. The assembly process can be complicated, and you might injure yourself or damage the components. Instead, we have a team of builders in Canberra who will arrive at your property and build your shed, garage, or carport for you. The cost of this is included in your quote, too, so there are no surprise costs when work is complete.

How do I care for my shed?

To care for your shed, you will need to regularly wash it with a hose, removing any grime and contaminants. Doing so helps to keep your shed rust-free and clean - it is that easy! if other materials are used for your shed, you might have additional cleaning steps to follow, but these will be made clear to you when designing and purchasing your shed.

Do you sell shed kits?

We offer shed kits, allowing you to purchase a ready-to-go shed and install it yourself. We include detailed instructions with our kits, making it super easy for you to install them yourself, or we offer our installation services. You can purchase shed kits in a range of sizes, and we can customise them too, ensuring they are perfect for you.

Can I add electricity to my garage?

You can add electricity to your garage! We commonly add electricity to our garage designs, providing you with lights, power for tools, and to charge electric cars. When adding electricity to a garage, we recommend having an electrician carry out the work. This can increase the cost of your garage, but ensures that everything is installed correctly and safely.

We also offer customisations on our carport kits, making any adjustments needed to ensure it is the perfect carport for you.

Will a carport add value to my home?

Carports can add value to your home, allowing you to sell it for a higher price. Having a safe and dedicated space for your vehicle ensures it is protected from extreme weather and falling debris, an attractive feature for many prospective buyers. For your carport to add value, it will need to be functional and ideally in line with the design of your home.
