To ensure protection against the changing climate in South Australia, your shed, garage, or carport needs to be durable and airtight. Our buildings are made with high-quality Australian steel that can withstand the hot summer temperatures without warping or sustaining any other damage. It is also rust-resistant, so you don't need to worry about rain in the winter months being an issue.
Our steel is priced higher than others on the market, but it comes with fantastic durability and weather resistance that you won't get elsewhere. Plus, the thirty-year warranty ensures that should anything go wrong, you won't have surprise bills to pay.
Frequently asked questions
What materials are used for your buildings?
We use only the best, high-quaity steel for our buildings. The durability of the steel ensures that your shed, garage, or carport will last, regardless of the weather or how often you use it. Our high-quality materials are locally sourced where possible, too, and you get a full breakdown of the materials used in your shed so you know exactly what they are made from.
How do I design my order?
To design your order, you can use our design software to bring your dream shed to life. Our tool allows you to enter the details of your site and create your shed, in line with national and local building regulations to ensure a safe shed that's fit for purpose.
Can I customise my shed?
We offer complete customisation of our sheds, allowing you to create the perfect shed for your space. Virtually every feature can be customised, including the insulation, size, and roof pitch, ensuring that your shed is fit for purpose and matches the aesthetics of other buildings.
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Mount Barker?
To build a shed, garage, or carport in Mount Barker requires planning permission in the following situations:
-
It is ancillary to an existing building
-
It will have a total floor area of more than 150 meters squared
-
It is located near food waters, including the 1956 River Murray Flood Plain
In some situations, if the council deem the construction of your building 'minor', you will not need to submit an application, but this varies on a case-by-case basis. Sheds that will be smaller and built outside flood zones can be built without planning permission, but it is best to speak to your local council for confirmation.
We know that gaining council approval can be a stressful process, and we can help in any way we can, guiding you through the application process and ensuring your design is compliant.
