Frequently asked questions
How do I clean my shed?
You can clean your shed using a hose to wash away any debris or dirt. Cleaning your shed should be done regularly to prevent any rust or debris from causing issues. In some cases, you might have specific cleaning instructions you need to follow depending on the materials used for your shed. We will discuss these with you and provide you with specific cleaning instructions where needed.
How do I design my order?
To design your order, you can use our design tool, which allows you to input the details of your site and see how your design would look. We created our tool in line with building codes and regulations, so you don't need to worry about the design you make being unsuitable or failing to meet regulations.
How are your sheds priced?
Our sheds are priced individually, based on your design choices and proposed site. We might need to visit your site to see if additional work is needed to make it suitable, which can impact our price. Our price is an end-to-end quote encompassing all of the design, installation, and support you receive, so there are no hidden fees or surprise costs.
Do I need planning permission for sheds, garages, or carports in Tamworth?
Depending on your garage, shed, or carport size, you might not need planning permission in Tamworth. Detached sheds, garages, and carports in Tamworth must meet height restrictions depending on your zone, with a height between 3.2 meters and 5 meters, depending on your location. You also need to consider the cumulative size of the building and where it sits in relation to property boundaries.
You can check the specifications for Tamworth council in more detail here to see if you need permission or not. If you need to apply for planning permission, an application must be submitted including details on the proposed building and its materials. We know the process can be time-consuing and confusing and can offer support and assistance where needed.
Will you install my shed?
We can install your shed, and we recommend that you let us do the installation. To ensure your shed is installed correctly and safely, we work with builders across the country, including in Tamworth. Our dedicated team will arrive at your property and safely and efficiently install your shed, ensuring it is ready for you to use as soon as possible.
Are your builds Shed Safe accredited?
Yes, as a founding member of Shed Safe, all of our builds come with Shed Safe accreditation. You get the seal of approval on any build we design, reassuring you that you are safe to use it. Every building we create meets the Australian Steel Institute's (ASI) industry benchmark for sheds, too, ensuring that it meets the requirements for site specifications, engineering, and steel products.
Can I buy a shed kit?
We do offer shed kits, which allow you to purchase a ready-to-go kit and add it to your property. Our shed kits can be collected and installed instantly and come with detailed instructions that make it easy for you to install the shed yourself!

Will a shed increase the value of my home?
A shed can increase the value of your home. For a shed to add value to your home, it will need to be functional and well-maintained, suitable for your buyer to use immediately. A shed can add extra storage space to your home and is a desirable feature that potential buyers will look for. If your shed is fit for use and does not require additional maintenance, buyers may be inclined to offer higher prices for your home.

Can I add another door to my garage?
Yes, alongside your roller door, you can add a personal access door. These doors are typically placed on the side of your garage and will allow you to enter and exit without operating the roller doors. Personal access doors are a great addition if you are also using your garage for storage. When designing your garage, we can help you add additional doors.
What size carport can I add to my home?
If you meet the requirements of your local council, you can add a carport of any size to your home. After adding your carport, you will need to consider the space you have available and how much garden space will be left to ensure you still have the outdoor space you want. Your local council will have guidance on the size of your carport and where it can be placed on your property to help you decide what size carport is right for you.
