Shed customisation options
Properties around Whittlesea vary widely, which is why shed, garage and carport designs aren’t restricted to standard formats. The structure can be planned around how you intend to use the space, with freedom to adjust dimensions, roof height, spans and access points as needed. This flexibility allows the building to suit the block it sits on and remain useful as needs change, rather than locking you into a layout that only works short term.
The way the building is shaped influences both internal usability and how it fits into the surrounding area, with design directions that can include:
- Gable roof designs
- Skillion roof designs
- Clear-span interiors or layouts with internal supports
- Open-sided, partially enclosed or fully enclosed structures
External finishes can be selected to complement homes, fencing or the surrounding landscape, with options that include:
- A wide range of Colorbond wall colours
- Roof colours that can either blend in or add contrast
- Finishes suited to suburban and semi-rural environments
Access planning focuses on how the space will be used day to day, which may involve:
- Single or multiple roller doors
- Manual or motorised operation
- Custom door heights and widths for cars, utes or trailers
Roof pitch affects clearance, drainage and overall proportions, and can be set using:
- Standard pitch configurations
- Higher pitch designs for added internal height
- Roof angles selected to suit local rainfall patterns
Additional features can be built into the design to improve comfort and functionality, such as:
- Personal access doors
- Windows and skylights
- Ventilation options
- Insulation
- Gutters and water management
- Awnings and lean-to additions
