Our steel structures are perfect for withstanding conditions in Launceston. They provide a watertight design that protects against rainfall and any extreme, heavy rainfall that can occur. We do recommend adding gutters to your shed, garage, or carport in Launceston to help move rain away from the building.
Our steel has outstanding heat resistance to cope with the heatwaves and hot summers, preventing it from warping. We can also recommend a suitable cladding that will keep you cool in the summer. Our steel is more expensive than others on the market, but its incredible durability makes it the perfect choice. Plus, you won't need to worry about any additional repair costs!
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Launceston?
You might need planning permission for a shed, garage, or carport in Launceston, depending on its size and location of your build. For sheds smaller than 18 square meters, you will not need approval, but you will need to check if there are height restrictions. Typically, you cannot build a shed taller than 2.4 meters and will need to check if specific regulations are in place for heritage sites.
Garages typically require planning permission, and you will usually need permission for a carport too. You will need to check where the garage or carport can be placed, too, as there are usually setback rules you need to consider. We can help you with these to ensure that you meet the requirements in Launceston and get the building permits that you need.
Will you install my build?
We have teams of builders that we work with across the country who will install your build for you. Our builders will work safely and efficiently to ensure your shed, garage, or carport is installed without any issues. While you can install your build yourself, especially if you choose a kit, we recommend letting the professionals handle installations to avoid any injuries or mistakes.
How do I know my build is compliant?
When your build is complete, you will receive certified engineering plans and certificates of compliance. These will prove that your build is compliant with the Building Code of Australia and the National Construction Code. Your council might require these documents to prove your building is compliant or for insurance purposes.
What materials are used for your builds?
We use only the best, high-quality, Australian steel for our buildings. Our steel is super durable and provides years of reliable use without costly repairs or replacements. Our steel is backed by a thirty-year warranty for complete peace of mind, too! When other materials are used for your design, we provide you with a breakdown of their components and origins, aiming to source as many materials locally as possible.
How do I design my order?
You can design your order using our design tool. You can enter the details of your site and see how your shed, garage, or carport will look in its new location. Our software is designed with building regulations in mind, so you will know if your design meets regulations before it is finalised. Alternatively, you can visit our showroom in Launceston, where one of our experts can help you with your design.
Can I pay monthly for my shed?
We offer payment plans on our builds, allowing you to spread the cost over several months. The availability of these plans will depend on your design and location, with our local experts in Launceston helping you find a payment plan for you.
Can I add windows to my shed?
You can add windows to your shed when you custom-design one with us. We can add windows or skylights to your shed to increase the natural light in your space. We can add as many windows as you like, and we can offer guidance on the best placement for your windows.

This secure space is desired by many prospective buyers, who will be happy to pay more for a home to enjoy a carport.
