Choosing a suitable shed can be a game-changer for your personal or business needs. Whether you're looking to store tools and machinery or create a functional workspace or storage, knowing what features to look for in a quality shed is essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you identify the best shed features to meet your needs.

Material Matters: The Backbone of Your Shed

The material of your shed is foundational to its durability and appearance. Additionally, it needs to be able to withstand New Zealand's climate. We work with several local suppliers and fully trust them to provide durable options for our clients’ sheds. We act like brokers—we collate a number of quotes to present to our clients so that they have options based on design, functionality, and budget preferences. 

Roof Style: Not Just About Looks

The roof style of your shed impacts its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s a gable, flat or pitched roof, we discuss your requirements and goals for the shed and develop the most suitable option, both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We build various designs - lead-to, apex, architecturally designed sheds and anything in between- so you can be assured you will have plenty of options.

Size and Space: Think Big (or Small)

Consider what you’ll be storing or using the shed for. A larger shed offers more flexibility, while a smaller one may fit better in limited spaces. Measure your available space and plan for future needs. We offer free consultations to come up with the ideal solution for your area and what can fit comfortably, considering any council restrictions.

Foundation and Flooring: Stability is Key

A solid foundation and sturdy flooring ensure your shed remains level and dry. Whether you need concrete slabs, treated wood, or other materials for your flooring, our expert team can recommend the best option for your unique project.  

Doors and Windows: Accessibility and Light

Every shed is unique, and every client we work with has unique requirements for its shed structure. While some clients’ sheds incorporate a lot of light and wide roller doors for easy access, others have smaller doors and limited windows to suit their specific needs. Whether you are after rollers doors, doubled-glazed doors or specific windows, we assist with supply quotes for your shed and build as per your specifications.  

Ventilation: Keep It Fresh

Good ventilation prevents moisture buildup and, eventually, mould infestation. We suggest looking at ventilation systems or having the shed designed to provide a healthy environment for those using it.  

Warranty and Support: Long-Term Assurance

A good warranty indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. We work with trusted suppliers who offer warranties on their products. We are here to support and assist you throughout your build journey and are proud to have various 5-star reviews from clients for whom we built sheds.
