There are sheds and there are sheds. We love them all, but we know that not every shed is ‘fit for purpose’. We have a range of sheds that can be used for whatever you want – in fact, most of our sheds are flexible enough...

As much as Australia has a long history of sheds and a deeply ingrained ‘shed culture’, garden and backyard sheds have come a long way from the days of our grandparents. Just a couple of generations ago, every suburban house had a shed of some sort....
