Custom Sheds
Geelong
At Fair Dinkum Builds Geelong, we draw upon over 20 years of locally based shed designing and buildings skills.
For over 18 years we have been building sheds right through the Geelong, Bellarine, Otway and Colac regions.
Whether it be a 6m x 6m Garage for storing your boat or 4WD, through to large scale machinery sheds; we can guide you through creating a design that works for you and leave off anything that doesn’t suit.
Even better, we ourselves live locally and know just what is needed for many local areas, whether it be a shed, garage, carport or even something more industrial.
Some could even say we live and breathe sheds, garages, the lot; and while we’d like to say we do, it wouldn’t be quite right as we also live and breathe finding the right solution for your home – whatever that may be within our product range.

To ensure your shed, garage, or carport withstands the test of time, we use high-quality Australian steel. Our steel structures can withstand the extreme heat in Geelong summers, with outstanding heat resistance that prevents them from warping. The sturdy steel also remains in place during strong winds, and you won't need to worry about debris causing an issue.
To help with the rainfall, we recommend installing gutters and ensuring the foundation is level before construction begins to prevent water pooling or flooding.
While our steel is more expensive than others on the market, it has fantastic durability and longevity, so you don't need to worry about anything. Plus, a thirty-year warranty ensures that should anything go wrong, you are protected.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Geelong?
You will need planning permission to build a shed, garage, or carport in Geelong. To gain permission, you will need to apply for a building permit with the help of a building surveyor. The application will require you to submit details about your planned building, location, and the materials used. When designing your shed, garage, or carport, we can help guide you to ensure it will meet building standards and regulations, increasing your chance of permission being granted.
We have years of experience building sheds, garages, and carports in Geelong and can help you gain council approval and start building your dream build.
How do I get a quote for my design?
To get a quote for your design you can call us directly on 1800 033 284. One of our experts will be happy to discuss your design with you and generate a quote. You can also choose to submit an online form, which is sent to your local showroom, which will then generate a quote for you.
Will you install my shed?
We can carry out the installation of your shed, ensuring that it is installed correctly. We work with a team of builders across Australia, including in Geelong, who will ensure your build is installed safely and efficiently. We recommend that you let us install the shed to prevent any missteps or injury to yourself. The cost of installation is included in your quote, so why not enjoy a professional build of your shed, carport, or garage?
Are your builds made with non-combustible materials?
Our builds are made with Stramit roof and wall cladding, and solid steel, which has been independently tested and has a Spread of Flame Index of 0, making it non-combustible. These designs are perfect for bushfire-prone areas, with our rating reassuring you that you will be safe.
When additional materials are used, a non-combustible build might not be guaranteed, but we will inform you before purchasing.
Do your builds meet safety standards?
All of our builds meet safety standards, so you don't need to worry about safety when setting foot in one of them. Each build meets the safety standards set by the NCC, and we work to ensure your build complies with any local building regulations and codes. For further peace of mind, all of our buildings come with the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) standard for steel buildings and are Shed Safe accredited.
How do I design my build?
To design your build, you can use our design tool to enter the size of your space and watch your design come to life. Our software includes details on national and regional building codes and restrictions, ensuring that your design is safe before it gets built.
Alternatively, you can visit our Geelong showroom to chat to an expert who can help you design your new build.
Can I add side doors to my shed?
Of course! You can add personal access doors if you don't want to use your roller door every time you go in and out of the shed. These can be placed anywhere on your shed, making it easier for you and others to come and go. When designing your shed, we can offer guidance on the best place to install these doors if needed.
Do you sell shed kits?

Whether you want to add internal storage, a lean-to, or additional workspace, we can ensure your design is right for you. You can use our design tool to add storage to your garage, or speak to an expert in our Geelong showroom.

Can I add doors to my carport?
Typically, carports do not have doors. They will have one open side that allows you to drive your vehicles in and out without worrying about doors. You might want to add gates to the drive leading to your carport if you want additional security. If you would prefer doors, we recommend looking at our garage options instead.
