Easyshed's Fibreglass Skylight is a $79 accessory you add when you assemble your shed or after. It comes in one size, 430mm width x 2080mm long and swaps in place of a standard roof sheet. If necessary, it can be cut to fit as needed using tin snips, a saw, or an angle grinder.
Here's how it works, where to position it, and what to check before you add one to your order.
What Is the Easyshed Skylight and How Does It Work?
The Fibreglass Skylight is a $79 accessory that replaces one standard roof sheet on an Easyshed garden shed. It comes in a single size, 430mm wide by 2080mm long, and can be trimmed to length with regular tools if it's longer than your shed model's roof sheeting.
💡 Pro Tip: Trim to length before you install it, not after. It's much easier to handle while it's still a flat, unfixed sheet.
It ships with a protective plastic film cover you can peel off cleanly once you're ready to assemble. And don't worry, you won't be supplied with a fewer number of roof sheets when you purchase the skylight.
Assembling it is just a matter of switching out one of your roof sheets with the skylight. Easy as all around.
Can I Add an Easyshed Skylight to an Existing Shed?
Easyshed's Fibreglass Skylight is only available to purchase alongside a new shed order. That means, you'll need to add it when you order your shed. You won't be able to add it after or order it separately.
If you already own a shed and want to bring in natural light to it later, that's a separate project involving a different type of skylight sheet, and one worth discussing with a professional.
Where Should I Position the Skylight on My Roof?
Positioning happens at the time your shed is assembled, so it's best to decide in advance where you want the extra light. Put it over a workbench, a desk, or wherever you'll spend the most time, rather than defaulting to the centre of the roof.
If you're setting up a workshop or home office, position the skylight based on that layout, not what’s convenient during assembly.
How Many Skylights Can I Add to My Shed?
Easyshed recommends keeping skylights to no more than half of your total roof area, for structural reasons. Within that limit, you can add more than one if you want to spread the light across a larger shed rather than concentrating it in one spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Easyshed Skylight separately from a shed?
No. It's only available with a new shed order, so you'll need to add it when you order rather than buy it as a standalone accessory later.
What size is the Easyshed Skylight?
It comes in one size: 430mm wide by 2080mm long. It can be trimmed to length with standard tools if your shed model's roof sheeting is shorter.
A Small Addition That Changes Everything
Adding a skylight is one of the simpler accessory decisions you'll make when ordering a shed, but it has an outsized effect on how usable the space feels once it's built, particularly if you're setting it up as a workshop or home office.
Decide on position and quantity before assembly, keep it within the half-roof guideline, and it's a one-time decision that's bound to brighten your day every time you walk in.
