To ensure that your shed, garage, and carport can withstand the weather, we make our builds with the highest quality Australian steel. It is extremely heat-resistant, so you don't need to worry about your building warping. The durable steel can also withstand heavy rain and wind that Lockyer Valley is prone to during the winter months. The steel construction makes your shed, garage, or carport watertight, preventing leaks and keeping your items safe.
While the steel does come with a higher price tag, it will stand the test of time and allow you to use the building in any weather. Plus, it comes with a thirty-year warranty to ensure that any issues are addressed, without you needing to part with any more cash.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Lockyer Valley?
Planning permission is needed when building a shed, garage, or carport in Lockyer Valley. You will need to apply with your local council and submit a plan, including your construction plan, any elevation methods, wall bracing, and other relevant information. The council will assess your application, taking into account the location of your building on your property and other factors to ensure it is suitable.
Once your application is approved, you will have two years from the approval date to complete your building. We have an in-depth understanding of the restrictions in Lockyer Valley and can guide you with the design of your build to ensure it complies with regulations.
Do your builds meet safety standards?
All of our builds meet safety standards across Australia, so you don't need to worry about anyone's safety when you use them. We follow the safety standards outlined by the NCC and take into account any additional safety standards or building regulations in Lockyer Valley. Doing so ensures that you are safe and that your build will meet any requirements your local council sets.
All of our designs are also Shed Safe accredited and meet the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) standard for steel buildings, providing you with complete peace of mind.
Can I install your shed myself?
Unless you are buying one of our shed kits, we recommend that you have your shed professionally installed. Having a professional install your shed reduces the chance of any mistakes, which could pose a safety threat, and it is usually faster than installing it yourself. We have teams of builders across the country that we can match you to, ensuring that your shed is built safely and efficiently.
Are your builds made with non-combustible cladding?
We use Stramit roofing and wall cladding, which are made from a steel coil and come with a Spread of Flame Index of 0, making them non-combustible. This design makes them ideal for use on sheds, carports, or garages in bushfire risk areas, but you do need to consider the other materials used on your building. We can guide you on what other materials are used and help ensure that your build is non-combustible for peace of mind as you use it.

How do I design my order?
You can design your order using our design tool, which allows you to enter the size of your space and see how the shed, carport, or garage would look. Our software is designed with building regulations in mind, ensuring that everything you design is safe and compliant.
You can also choose to design your order in our Lockyer Valley showroom, where one of our experts will guide you through the process, ensuring your design is fit for purpose.
Can I add extra doors to my shed?
You can add as many doors to your shed as you like, provided your design can support them. We typically add personal access doors alongside roller doors to sheds, providing you with easy access to multiple points of the shed. Each door can be added during your design process, and our experts can help with suggestions for their placement if needed.
