4 Shed Styles for the Aussie Garden

Whether you have a compact space or room to expand your backyard, there are lots of storage solutions available in our garden shed range. Here’s a guide to starting your next outdoor transformation project.

Find your shed style

Begin by matching a shed style to your outdoor or indoor storage needs! Our range of durable sheds offer stylish and affordable options to suit your lifestyle.

When choosing a shed that is functional and suits your home, the shed roof style is the most practical consideration to have in mind (aside from colour, of course!).

1. The Backyard Addition

If you’re after more garden and storage space, our popular Gable Roof Shed is the one for you. The classic style comes in a triangular pitch shape ideal for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts! These sheds are more resilient and easier to maintain because snow and rain simply slide off the pitched roof.

Their peaked roof structure allows for more ventilation and gives the appearance of more space compared to other roof styles. Other benefits of our most popular shed structure are:

• Adds value to your landscape and fits into any garden
• Sophisticated and timeless roof choice
• Choose single or double hinged doors for your shed
• Additional height through the centre for storing taller items

Short on garden space but still want a great outdoor shed? The Skillion Roof Shed has a minimalistic design that can effortlessly blend into a house or fence. It’s a long time DIY favourite because it’s an easy to construct home extension! The single sloping roof ensures minimal buildup of water and debris.

• The half-pitched roof ensures that you enjoy a good drainage system
• Designed with a higher 2.1m door opening which slopes down to 1.8m back wall for extra headroom

This tall space saver comes in a massive range of sizes perfect for any kind of backyard!

2. Creative and Compact Storage

If you’re living in an inner city apartment or have a tiny yard (think extra storage for a terrace house!), the Off The Wall Shed is a go to! With no back wall and no need for a concrete slab, this unit can be fixed to an existing dwelling or structure to make the best use of tight spaces. Even though it’s a small storage solution, we don’t compromise on design!

• Braced door to ensure the integrity of the shed structure and easy access to the shed’s contents
• Door locks with a pad bolt and hasp to securely store your items
• Available in a range of lengths to maximise your storage space whilst taking up minimal space

Have a shady and ideal location on your property? Flat Roof Sheds are the best option if you live in an area with limited space and enjoy favourable weather. Contrary to the name, these sheds are not flat and actually have a low pitched skillion roof.

It’s simple design makes it the most affordable to buy and easy to build! The roof style is an ideal choice for certain weather conditions.

• If you live in hurricane or tornado risk regions
• Easy to repair due to the lower slanted roof

Top tip: This option isn’t recommended if you live in a high-rainfall or snowfall region because the shed drainage system is less functional compared to gable and skillion roof sheds.

 

3. Your Home Extension

After a versatile and practical add-on to your home? Our Garage Sheds are designed to give you maximum space with minimum installation effort. These sheds are portable and can be disassembled easily, so it can be taken with you if you move to new home or require it for a temporary garage solution. For a permanent structure, lay a concrete slab beneath the shed!
