Our products are unrivalled in quality and attractiveness. Our range of garden cabanas, sheds, workshops and grand cubby houses are the perfect solution to the regular household problem of too little space.
Ideally designed for storage of treasured items, household goods, camping and sporting goods, artwork and keepsafe items and occasional use, our wide range of sheds have the added benefit of being designed to comply with NSW and ACT Planning Policy for Exempt Development. This eliminates the stressful requirement for preliminary planning and will save you $1000’s on the project cost.
Our proud company has been operating successfully and has delivered over 800 projects since its commencement in 1976 and we have positioned ourselves as the premier supplier of Cabins and Cottages, Deluxe Garden Sheds, Cabanas, detached Garden Studios and flexible-use spaces in NSW and abroad.
We only use the best available materials in our products which have been rated for Australias vastly changing and harsh climate. Our standard materials are all termite and rot resistant and fully compliant with all Australian Standards and Construction Requirements of the Building Code of Australia. This all adds up to giving you peace of mind knowing that we do-it-once and we do-it-right. Examples of these materials are choices of Western Red Cedar or Weathertex cladding aluminium and timber windows and doors and capped in iconic Australian Colorbond corrugated iron roofing, in your choice of colour. Also to note is we can also construct to satisfy requirements for your location within Bushfire Prone Land which requires 5m separation between the dwelling house and a garden shed. These requirements can be easily satisfied through the use of Fibre Cement Cladding, metal windows and screens, hardwood structural timbers and the closing of small construction gaps to eliminate ember attack.
