Do you work from home or would you like to? You’re not alone. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) survey Characteristics of Employment, Australia, August 2015, found that: “Almost a third (3.5 million) of all employed persons regularly worked from home in their main job or...
A while ago, we noticed that a lot of people were using sheds for more than garden storage, so for the past few years we’ve been researching what other uses people have for sheds. We found three key things: Working from home has boomed ...
We don’t mean to alarm you but … Christmas is coming – fast! That’s right. You’ve got less than two months to choose, find, and get Christmas gifts for your loved ones and close friends. We suggest treating yourself to a new Stilla shed and giving your...
The warmer weather is here all over the country and there’s a good chance you’ll want to spend your weekends and leisure time outside over the coming months. Maybe it’s the perfect time to add a shed and/or cubby house to your backyard? As we’ve said in...
We know winter’s over because the footy’s finished … and congratulations to Richmond and Melbourne Storm and every club across Australia that won a premiership. That means that not only is spring here, but some of us have some weekends ahead freed up after six months...
In our last blog post, we outlined what we believe are some of the great reasons to get a cubby house for your kids sooner rather than later. Things like encouraging children to become more independent, building their confidence, fuelling their imaginations, and giving them an...
Now! Perhaps we should go into a bit more detail? We do get asked: “what’s the best age to get the kids a cubby?”, and our answer is: “it’s never too early”. Once a child starts playing in a cubby – even if they still need constant supervision...
We’ve never made a secret of the fact that we really love sheds. We also love dealing with people who are proud of their sheds – which we think every shed owner should be. But we know a few things about sheds that not everybody does …...
When Emilia and Scott McMillan moved into their forever home a couple of years ago, they had quite a bit of stuff to put into the old shed. They recently replaced it with a new Stilla shed, and they couldn’t be happier. “We had a really old,...
We always say we want to help you get the right shed for your needs, which is absolutely our mission. We have thousands of satisfied customers because we’ve been able to do just that. For some people with limited space, that means one of our smaller...
A while back we wrote about how getting a shed is the perfect way to declutter your house. Of course, most of us don’t want a cluttered shed, either, so here are some ideas on the sorts of things you could get to keep your shed...
In the modern world, everything is fast-paced, slick, practical, and functional. If you’re not at the cutting edge, you risk being run over and left behind. We’ll admit we’ve bought in to that ethos here at Stilla. We’ve spent years refining our shed designs to make...
Wood. What would we do without it? It has played an important role in the history of civilization. Humans have used it for fuel, tools, weapons, furniture, and paper, as well as buildings. It’s one of the longest-standing building materials, with evidence showing homes built over 10,000...
It’s easy for us to say that we want to do everything we can to make sure each customer gets the right shed for his or her needs, but we do try very hard to live up to that credo. We’re not happy simply selling lots...
One of the questions we’re asked most often is: “what sort of base or floor do I need?”. There are four options, each with some pros and cons. In some cases, one or another will be a pretty clear choice, but sometimes you’ll need to weigh...
Most people aim to keep their homes tidy and free of unnecessary clutter. Very few manage to do so on an ongoing basis. It’s just a fact of life that we accumulate things. If there’s a cupboard, we’ll fill it. If there’s a room we don’t...
A couple of months ago, we wrote a blog post 6 things you should know before buying a shed, in which we covered these key things: Local council rules Weather conditions Foundations Positioning Design Purpose If you haven’t read that, please do, because that’s definitely a...
If you’re just storing stuff, potting plants, or pottering around in your shed, chances are you won’t need electricity. As soon as you decide that you want to do some work in it, it’s time to think about power. You might simply want some light, or several...
Having a shed can change your life … or, at least, your lifestyle. There’s a lot to be said for simply adding some extra storage space, if you need that, or having a dedicated place for your lawnmower, wheelbarrow, and garden tools, or to tinker with...
Families who are lucky enough to have a backyard know how much fun there is to be had outside. But what about when it’s cold or wet? What about when the kids are a bit older and prefer hanging with friends to running around? What if your backyard...
Sometimes in life, inexpensive is the way to go. It is never the way to go when you want something to last. Hopefully, we don’t have to convince you that outdoor sheds fall into that category (the lasting one, not the you-can-get-away-with-buying-a-cheap-one one). But, just in case you’re...
The truism “you can’t improve on nature” may not always apply to building materials, however it’s still very hard to go past wood for its strength, versatility, ease of use, and visual appeal. When it comes to putting something in your garden – be it furniture...
Deciding to get a shed is easy. Picking the right shed for your needs is a bit harder. Here’s a quick checklist of the things you should either find out or decide before you start shed shopping. Local council rules There are some rules and regulations...
Even the happiest couples sometimes get on each other’s nerves. Even the most tolerant women have been known to get frustrated at having their loving partner “underfoot” when they’re just trying to get things done. Even the most considerate men can lament the fact that they can’t...
If you’ve ever looked at a property with a nice garden and a shed, you’ve probably thought it would be handy to have one. Even if you only need to store a lawn mower, some garden tools, and spare flowerpots, it’s much better to have a...
