Products & Specifications
Our standard shade shed widths include 3170mm, 4670mm, 6170mm, 9000mm, and 12000mm. Lengths start from 3 metres and go up to 24 metres.
If you need something different, we can customise the size to suit your specific requirements.
The apex is the highest point of the shed roof – the peak in the centre.
The shoulder height is the height at the side of the shed where the roof begins to slope upwards.
In simple terms:
- Shoulder = side height
- Apex = highest point
This is important when calculating clearance for vehicles, caravans or boats.
The main difference between our Standard and Industrial Shade Sheds is the steel size and strength.
Standard Shade Sheds use 75mm steel for residential and light commercial use.
Industrial Shade Sheds use heavy-duty 150mm steel with additional reinforcements for larger structures -Truss/Shoulder Braces depending on the width and height.
Transportable Shade Sheds are built for Australian conditions using quality, engineered materials:
- Australian Made
- Genuine COLORBOND® steel sheeting
- Full-length roof sheeting
- Hot-dipped galvanised Australian steel
- C1 & C2 wind classifications available
Better engineering = better strength, longevity, and performance.
No, the choice of sheeting colour does not affect the price.
Yes, we can customise your Shade Shed to your desired length, width, and height.
Council, Engineering & Approvals
Council permits are issued to the property owner, who is responsible for determining if approval is required.
Approval requirements vary depending on buildings, location, and local council rules.
We recommend confirming requirements with your council before installation.
C2-rated shade sheds withstand higher wind speeds with closer portal spacing and cyclone-rated screws.
