All of our sheds, garages, and carports are designed with high-quality steel to withstand anything the weather in Gladstone throws its way. The durable steel has incredible heat resistance to prevent the structure from getting warped or damaged. While rainfall is common in the winter in Gladstone, you won't need to worry about it damaging your structure. The steel provides an airtight seal, and its rust-resistant design means there is no chance of issues. To increase the leak-proof design, we recommend adding gutters to prevent any water pooling.
The high-quality steel we use does come with a higher price tag than other options, but the durability it offers makes it well worth the price. The steel is also protected by a thirty-year warranty, reassuring you that if anything goes wrong, you will be covered.
Frequently asked questions
How are your sheds priced?
We price all of our sheds individually, based on the design choices and your site. We generate a quote on an end-to-end basis, including the cost of your design, creating it, installation, and any support you need.
We can discuss your price and what impact it has in more detail when you reach out to us for your quote.
How do I get a quote for a new shed?
To get a quote, you can call us on 0800 951 244, where you will speak to one of our experts who can advise you on the best way to bring your dream shed to life. You can also fill out an online form, which is sent to our showroom in Gladstone. One of our experts will then get back to you with a quote and help you bring your new shed to life.
Are your builds Shed Safe accredited?
As a founding member of Shed Safe, all of our builds are accredited, providing you with peace of mind. Every structure we create meets the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) industry benchmark for sheds, meeting the requirements for steel products, engineering, and site specifications.
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Gladstone?
Council approval is required for a shed, garage, or carport in Gladstone. You will need approval for your structure from your local council. An application must be completed, and you must include plans for the shed, garage, or carport, where it will sit on the property, and the materials you intend to use. For your structure to be approved, you need to meet the following requirements:
-
It must be clear of underground services and easements
-
It must be 6 meters from the road frontage
-
It must be a maximum height of 2 storeys and/or 9 meters
-
It must have a 1.5 m setback when the structure is 4.5 m high. When the height increases, so does the setback distance
-
It must be 50% covered by buildings
We have experience in creating structures to meet Gladdstone's requirements and can help ensure your design will meet their requirements and offer help with the application process.
Will you install my shed?
We will arrange for your shed or other structure to be built. We work with expert builders across Gladstone, who will quickly and safely build your shed. You can choose to build your shed yourself, but we recommend letting the professionals do it. They will ensure the shed is constructed correctly, and the installation cost is factored into your quote, so you may as well get what you paid for!
Do your builds meet safety standards?
All of our builds meet safety standards, putting your mind at ease while you are in the shed. Our builds are created in line with the National Code of Construction in Australia 2019. We also follow the building regulations set by the NCC to ensure all our structures are safe for you to use. Your safety is our priority, and we ensure that all sheds, garages, and carports meet the highest standards.
Can I buy a shed kit?
Yes, you can buy one of our shed kits if you want a ready-to-go shed that can be installed instantly. Our shed kits come with detailed instructions that allow you to assemble them yourself, and will meet all requirements in your area, so you don't have to worry about building permits.
We also allow you to customise our shed kits, helping you to create the perfect shed for your space.

Will a shed increase my house's value?
A shed can increase the value of your home, provided it is functional and well-maintained. Buyes won't want to pay more for a shed they will need to spend money on repairing. Sheds will offer additional storage space, which can be attractive to potential buyers, making them the perfect space for storing tools or as workspaces.
Do you sell garage kits?
We do sell garage kits, which you can purchase and install instantly. These garage kits are great for commercial or residential purposes, with customisation options to help you create the perfect space. Our garage kits come in a range of single, double, triple, and even four-car garages.
Do your garages come with a warranty?
A warranty protects our garages, so you don't need to worry about anything going wrong. A thirty-year warranty protects you and ensures that any issues are handled for you, saving you money in the long run. We recommend familairsing yourself with the warranty and its conditions before making a claim on the warranty.
Can I add a door to my carport?
Usually, carports do not come with doors, leaving the entrance open so you can easily drive your car in and out without needing to close doors or gates behind you. A side door can be added for additional access points, but if a main door is important to you, check out our garage options instead.
Do you sell carport kits?
Carport kits can be purchased from us, giving you a ready-made shelter for your car. We do allow customisation on these too, and sell our carports in the following sizes:
-
Single carport
-
Double carport
