COLORBOND® RANGE
Wide Span Sheds are made using Australian steel from BlueScope—one of the country’s most trusted manufacturers. Our buildings are clad in genuine COLORBOND® steel, tested by BlueScope for over 50 years in some of Australia’s harshest conditions. Backed by industry-leading warranties, this combination delivers durability, low maintenance, and a finish that looks great and will deliver outstanding, long life performance.
If there aren't 22 colours, it's not COLORBOND®.

LIVEABLE SHEDS
The Benefits of Portal Frame Living
Strong, spacious, and versatile — portal frame living offers the freedom and flexibility of layout within the confines of a shed structure. These Class 1a liveable sheds are one of the fastest growing trends in housing alternatives, engineered to meet the standards for permanent residential use. With wide open spans and minimal internal supports, you’ll enjoy greater freedom to customise floor plans to suit your lifestyle.
Portal frame buildings are different to stud frame buildings. If in doubt, ask one of our sales team to explain the difference and benefits to help you choose the best building for you.
