recently had the pleasure of working with FDB Gawler for my very first shed project, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. As someone who has never owned a shed before, I was a bit nervous about the process, but the team at FDB Gawler made it seamless from start to finish.
The sales representative was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of the decision-making process and helping me choose the best shed for my needs. The shed installer was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. Everything was set up perfectly, and the finished product exceeded my expectations.
Even the accounts department made the payment process easy and clear, which I greatly appreciated. It’s rare to experience such a smooth journey with a company, but FDB Gawler truly delivered exceptional service at every stage.
I highly recommend FDB Gawler for anyone looking to purchase and install a shed – their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is unmatched!”

To combat the hot summers in Gawler and the colder winters, you need sheds, garages, and caprrts made from a sturdy material. All of our designs use high-quality steel that is heat resistant and will not warp, even during the summer. The rust resistant design means you don't need to worry about rainfall damaging your shed. We also create airtight designs that prevent leaks, and in areas of high rainfall, we recommend installing gutters to help direct the water away from your building.
Before your structure is built, we conduct a site visit to ensure the ground is right for building on and make suggestions to help prevent flooding. While the steel we use is more expensive than our competitors, its sturdy construction ensures that it lasts for years, saving you money on replacements. It also has an impressive thirty-year warranty, so you don't need to worry about anything going wrong.
Frequently asked questions
How are your sheds priced?
Our sheds are all priced individually, based on your site and the design choices. As all of our sheds can be customised, we offer individual prices, given as end-to-end quotes covering the price of your design, creating your shed, installing it, and offering any support you need. For an accurate quote for your work, contact us on 0800 951 244 or fill in a design form online.
How do I design my order?
You can design your order online, using our design software. Our software allows you to input the details of your site and see how your shed, garage, or carport will look. Our software takes into account building regulations too, ensuring that the shed you design is safe for you and others. We also take into account any regulations in your local area to ensure the council approves it.
Can I customise my shed?
We offer complete customisation on our sheds, allowing you to create the perfect space for your needs. Every aspect of your shed can be customised, from the size of it to the type of roof you add. Our complete customisation can be done by you, or you can reach out to one of our experts who can help you customise your shed.
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Gawler?
Like the rest of South Australia, approval is unnecessary for a shed, garage, or carport in Gawler if added to a home or domestic residence. When working with commercial or industrial sheds, garages, and carports, you will need approval if it is higher than 2.5 meters above ground level and larger than 15 square meters in area.
To gain approval, you must submit an application to your local council in Gawler, where you will include proposed plans for the structure, including its size, design materials, and location to property lines. We can help you with your application, and as expert shed designers in Gawler, we can ensure that your shed, garage, or carport meets your local council's requirements.
Are your builds Shed Safe accredited?
As a founding member of Shed Safe, every one of our builds is Shed Safe accredited, giving you the assurance that you are safe. Each structure meets the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) industry benchmark for sheds, ensuring they meet the requirements for engineering, steel products, and site specifications.
Do your builds meet safety standards?
All of our builds meet the safety standards across Australia, ensuring your safety and the safety of others. Our builds meet the building regulations set by the NCC, too, ensuring everything is compliant, and we can walk you through these codes that your design must meet before we begin construction.
Can I buy a shed kit?
Yes, you can buy one of our shed kits, giving you a ready-to-go shed that can be installed on your land quickly. Whether its farm sheds or something smaller for personal storage that you need, we can help with one of our shed kits. We even include detailed instructions that allow you to install the shed yourself. You can also customise our shed kits to create the perfect shed for your needs.

How do I clean my shed?
To clean your shed, you will need to regularly wash it with a hose to remove any grime and contaminants. Frequent washing of your shed helps reduce the chance of rust, ensuring that it lasts for longer. Depending on the materials used for your cladding or other areas of your shed, you might have specific cleaning advice that you need to follow. You must follow this to prevent damaging your shed.
Do you sell garage kits?
We do sell a range of garage kits that you can choose from, giving you a ready-made garage that can be installed on your land.

What size garage can I add to my home?
You can add any size garage to your home, provided that it complies with local council requirements. Garages usually require council approval, especially if they are being added to your home. You will need to meet the council's size requirements, but we can work with you to ensure your garage is the right size and fit for purpose.
Can a carport add value to my home?
Carports can add value to your home, allowing you to make a profit should you sell. The carport will need to be well-maintained and fit to attract higher offers from potential buyers. A private parking space removed from the road and protected from the elements is an attractive addition to your home that buyers will be willing to pay more for.

We offer a range of carport kits, removing the need to design your own and allowing you to purchase one quickly. Our carport kits are available in a range of colours and finishes in the following sizes:
