Depending on what you intend to use your shed for, the ideal positioning may change. If you simply require extra storage space for bikes or other items that don’t need to be accessed frequently then the shed can be positioned further away from the house. Conversely, if you are going to use the shed as a workshop and need more frequent access you will likely want to position it closer to the house.
Considering the space available for a shed is very important. You need to understand how close you can build to other structures and this can impact the decision on the type of roof that would be ideal. Speak to our team of knowledgeable experts as they can help advise on the right shed for your space.
One of the first steps you should take is to get a firm grasp on what is possible with your property in regards to council planning requirements. If you are planning to build a shed above a certain size, council approvals are often required. Our team can help you find out what is available for your property.
Our sheds are made from Australian Bluescope Steel for maximum durability but you could also choose a shed that is built with Timber, Plastic or Vinyl. If quality is important to you, Steel is the best option, but if price is driving the decision then you may want to consider the other options.

Wide Span Sheds are made from high quality Australian Bluescope Steel for maximum durability but choosing the right material will depend on whether you are looking for the best quality or the cheapest price.
While it is often glossed over by most people, the style of roof you choose is very important in relation to the available space and drainage when it rains. Most sheds will have a Gable style roof, but some spaces and locations may be better suited to a Flat or Skillion style roof.
Often the location of your shed or the amount of space available will determine which style of roof is most suitable for your shed. The majority of sheds will have a gable style roof, which pitches in the centre, while a flat roof may be required where height is limited or a skillion style roof where specific drainage is required when it rains.
