Sheds
Cessnock

What materials are used for your buildings?

We only use high-quality steel for our sheds, ensuring they are durable and weather-resistant. Our lightweight steel is easy to work with and offers protection to your car, tools, and anything else you store in your shed. Depending on your needs, you can customise your building with different cladding and insulation to make it even more airtight and insulated.

While our steel can be more expensive, its thirty-year warranty ensures a long-lasting shed that won't cause you any headaches.

How do I design my order?

The best way to design your order is to use our software, which will allow you to design your shed, garage, or carport. The software complies with all building regulations, and we can also input any local council requirements so that your new design will be approved for construction.

Can I see examples of your sheds?

We have examples of our sheds, carports, and garages on our site for you to see. We also have showrooms in Cessnock where you can see our sheds and gain some inspiration. Our showrooms are staffed by experts who can discuss your shed needs with you and help with your design to bring your new shed to life.

Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Cessnock?

You might need council approval for a shed, garage, or carport in Cessnock. Typically, small structures will not need approval, but once you exceed the size limits of your local council or are planning to place your structure near property boundary lines, you will need approval.

To get council approval, you will need to submit an application, including details about the size and location of the shed, garage, or carport, and the intended materials. We can help with the application process and ensure that the shed you design will meet the requirements.

Are your sheds easy to install?

While our sheds can be straightforward to install, especially if you purchase a shed kit, we do not usually recommend installing them yourself. To avoid any errors and ensure your shed is constructed safely, we recommend letting our professionals carry out the installation. We work with experts across the country, including in Cessnock, using local builders who will quickly and safely install your shed ready for you to use.

Do your builds meet safety standards?

All of our builds meet national safety standards, allowing you to use them worry-free. We take into account the building codes and regulations set by the NCC and any guidelines from your local council to ensure that your structure is safe and meets every regulation.

We are also Shed-Safe accredited, with every structure coming with a seal of approval, so you never need to worry about your safety. Our thirty-year warranty increases your peace of mind and ensures that you don't need to pay should anything go wrong.

Can I buy a shed kit?

We do have a selection of ready-made sheds that you can purchase, allowing you to add a shed to your site with minimal effort. All of our shed kits come with detailed instructions that allow you to build your shed in no time. We do welcome customisation on our shed kits too, ensuring you get the right shed for your needs.

Can I live in a shed in Cessnock?

To live in a shed in Cessnock, you need to have approval. Living in a shed without approval is illegal, and it must meet the standards for structures for habitable purposes. Typically, sheds do not meet these standards, and you will be unable to use a shed to legally live in. You can, however, convert a shed into a residence, but you will need to meet building codes and ensure that it meets all of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) standards for habitable buildings.

Do you sell garage kits?

We offer a range of garage kits that allow you to add a garage to your property easily. Our garage kits are perfect for anyone who wants a ready-to-go garage without spending time designing it. Our garage kits are sold in the following sizes:

• Single garage kit

• Double garage kit

• Triple garage kit

• Four-car garage kit

We also offer customised garage kits, allowing you to make the perfect garage for your needs.

Can I add storage to my garage?

You can add storage to your garage, allowing you to create the perfect space for your needs. We can add storage for tools, a workspace, and even a lean-to that helps create plenty of storage space in your garage for your needs. We can also add side access doors that make it easier to reach your storage area, without needing to use the roller doors.

What size carport can I add to my home?

You can add any carport of any size to your home if it meets Cessnock's building requirements. We can customise your carport to provide additional storage space if needed for tools or electric charging points. Typically, our carports are made in the following sizes:

• Single carport

• Double carport

• Triple carport

Can a carport increase my homes value?

Providing your carport is installed correctly and is well-maintained, it can increase the value of your home. Off-road parking is desirable, especially if it is secure and protects your car from the elements. Prospective buyers are looking for these features and are happy to pay more for a carport, provided it does not require additional work.
