Shed customisation options
Every shed, garage and carport we build around Lake Macquarie is fully custom, giving you flexibility to design around your block, access points and how the space will be used long term. Rather than choosing a standard size, the dimensions, height, layout and access are adjusted to suit vehicles, storage needs or workshop use, while also taking neighbouring buildings and site constraints into account. This approach helps ensure the finished structure feels balanced on the block, works smoothly day to day, and remains useful as needs change.
The shed profile influences internal clearance, ventilation and how the structure performs in hot, dry conditions, with options including:
- Gable roof designs
- Skillion roof designs
- Clear-span interiors or designs with internal columns
- Open-sided, partially enclosed or fully enclosed layouts
Steel cladding colours can be selected to suit homes, industrial settings or surrounding landscapes, with choices including:
- A wide range of Colorbond wall colours
- Matching or contrasting roof finishes
- Coatings suited to regional and high-exposure locations
Roller doors are planned around access, clearance and daily use, with options including:
- Single or multiple roller doors
- Manual or automated operation
- Custom sizes for utes, trucks, machinery or trailers
Roof pitch affects internal height, heat movement and water runoff, with options including:
- Standard roof pitch configurations
- Increased pitch designs for added clearance
- Roof angles designed to handle heavy rain events
Optional features can be incorporated into the design to improve usability and comfort, including:
- Personal access doors
- Windows and skylights
- Ventilation systems
- Insulation
- Gutters and water management
- Awnings and lean-to additions
