Barns & Barn Shed Kits

Industrial strength fiberglass skylight roof sheeting brings natural light into your steel structure with ease. Designed to withstand industrial environments, these durable panels ensure longevity while enhancing your space. 

By harnessing natural light, skylights can help reduce energy costs associated with artificial lighting. They promote a healthier indoor environment by providing ample natural light, which has been shown to improve mood and productivity. The installation of fiberglass skylight roof sheeting can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your steel structure, creating a modern and inviting space.

Eave extensions are available up to 1m for most sheds. 

They provide increased protection from the elements without external supports, shielding the building's exterior and contents from rain, wind, and other weather conditions.

Eave extensions can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your shed, adding a touch of architectural sophistication and visual interest to the overall design.

Solar panels can impose added weight and pressure on steel buildings, along with increased wind resistance. Wide Span Sheds offers engineering solutions to accommodate these demands if you're considering installing solar panels. 

Why is this important?

1. Council regulations: Recent updates to the National Construction Code mean councils are now looking closer at buildings with rooftop solar panels. It's recommended to ensure your shed design complies with local council regulations to avoid future complications and expenses.

2. Insurance compliance: Insurance companies are increasingly wary of insuring roofs not originally designed for solar installations. Ensuring correct engineering during the initial design stage can help with insurability down the line.

3. Future-proof your shed: Including engineering capability for solar panels during the initial building design is advised, as retrofitting later can be costly.

Choose from our premium range of Personal Access (PA) Doors which allow for additional access points in your shed or steel structure.

These doors are typically designed for entry and exit in industrial or commercial settings. They are disability and wheelchair compliant. PA Doors are often installed alongside larger industrial doors and are meant to provide convenient access for personnel without needing to open the larger door. They are required for entry on sheds with domestic or industrial roller doors that are fitted with a chain operation.

Stable style split doors and industrial doors up to 1.1m wide are also available.

Steel sliding doors are a sought-after solution for large sheds such as aircraft hangars, industrial facilities, and garages. Engineered for heavy-duty performance, these doors ensure years of dependable operation, making them an ideal choice for users requiring seamless access for loading and unloading items.

Glass sliding door kits are also available on request 

Wide Span Sheds can allocate space for various sizes of windows and glass sliding doors in your shed design, allowing you to seamlessly source and install through your preferred local supplier.

They allow natural light to enter the shed, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This not only saves energy but also creates a more pleasant and inviting interior environment.

Windows & glass sliding doors can also facilitate airflow, helping to prevent moisture buildup, stale air, and odors, which can be particularly important in workshops or storage spaces.

Sarking and roof insulation products are available and offer benefits from additional weatherproofing to insulation against radiant heat depending on your choice, application and intended use. All options include safety wire.

We provide two options for vermin proofing: metal flashing, and plastic Vermaseal. Both guard against unwanted vermin entering the building between the sheeting profile and the concrete slab.

Plastic (PVC Vermaseal) - Acts as a plastic barrier to seal the high ridges in the wall sheeting profile at the base of the building, to eliminate the threat of vermin entering the building once constructed.

Metal Vermin Proofing (Genuine COLORBOND® Steel Flashing) - Available for sheds in all environments including bush-fire prone areas. It is a folded metal flashing connected to the inside of the wall sheeting, and continuing over the slab to eliminate the possibility of vermin entering the building after construction.

With a traditional curved corrugated finish, Corodek® is a high tensile corrugated roofing and wall cladding are crafted from 0.42BMT and 0.47TCT COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel. It can be applied as 'Horro Corro' where the paneling is horizontal for a premium finish

Metroclad 850 is a low rib height high tensile steel wall cladding, crafted from 0.35BMT and 0.42TCT COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® (AZ150 coating class) steel, ensuring durability and a prolonged lifespan.

A properly designed building gives you the peace of mind that your property and those you value, are safe and secure.
