So What Do We Do??.....

We use a galvanized portal frame with “welded and bolted” column & truss joints to ensure the structural integrity of your shed. It’s neater, it’s stronger and it’s far less likely to suffer rust from water entrapment or electrolysis from contact with concrete than zinc/alume. Our portal frames are also securely bolted to ruggedly designed, hot dip galvanized stirrups which are encased in the concrete slab. This means that we don’t just pour a 100mm slab as some others do, we provide deep piers under the slab to support the stirrups, AND we also have an edge beam all around. That’s pretty comforting when there’s a strong wind howling and trees are being bowled over all around you. Roof pitch included is standard @ 15 degrees, not an “extra” at extra cost as with some others. The benefits of this are that the shed is cooler; and that naturally occurring condensation will run down to the sides rather than drip within the shed (all over your contents?). Also helps break up those strong and damaging wind gusts. All of our sheeting for walls and roof are .42 base metal thickness, (.47 total coated thickness) as supplied by THE big Australian “BLUESCOPE” (formerly BHP till a recent name change). That strength minimizes hail and stone damage to your shed. It costs lots more than .35 “garden shed” steel does; however that’s what some other manufacturers will supply to make their sheds appear cheaper on paper. Our roofs are screwed down through the high rib rather than the flat pan (as some do to save money on long screws), but may well leak. Some suppliers do not even fit these screws with neoprene rubber washers to ensure against leaks (because once again they can save a few dollars). Our roller doors are far larger than “standard”, as are our windows; AND YES, gutter and down pipes are standard inclusions in our kits.
