Council Regulations for Garden Sheds
icon1 admin | icon2 Installation | icon4 09 29th, 2011| icon3Comments Off

Every council or building authority in Australia has its own rules and regulations when it comes to SHEDS whether it is Garden Sheds, Storage Sheds, Garages or Barns so it is always wise to check before you make a purchase.

 

Most council’s allow a garden shed up to 10 sq metres to be erected without a permit.

The most common shed size to fit this requirement is a 3m x 3m shed (9 square metres), but you can go bigger thanks to some clever thinking by the people at Durabuilt who make the EasySHED range.

Imagine having a bigger shed say 4.3m x 2.25m (9.6 square metres), this is possible using the EasySHED Truss Shed model 0404E 4.5m x 2.25m and making some simple adjustments.

 

All you need to do is cut (using a hacksaw or angle grinder), 235mm from the channels on the 4.5m side (4 wall channels and 4 roof channels and 235mm from the roof ridge beam), then overlap 1 rib in the front and back walls and the 2 roof panels and there you have it. A much bigger shed without the need for permit fees

This shed has the added strength of a truss frame and overlapping these wall panels will also add strength. Even better for the taller person you can chose to increase the wall height of this shed from 1.8m to 1.98m or even 2.10m for just a little extra!

Storm Shed

 

For several years now, customers have been asking us for a garden shed that would comply with the building regulations imposed in high wind areas of Australia, as up until now, there has been no garden shed on the Australian market that has been able to successfully meet these high standards.
Therefore, we are very pleased to announce the arrival of the revolutionary storm shed.

 

As the name suggests, StormSHED® has been designed to handle severe storm conditions and is engineered to Region D Category 2 Cyclonic wind conditions of 88m/sec (316kms per hour), when erected and anchored according to the instructions.

The Durabuilt StormSHED® is the FIRST GARDEN SHED IN AUSTRALIA to be rated to Region D Category 2 Cyclonic wind conditions!

StormSHED® comes in 3 sizes with 625 colour options (25 roof colours and 25 wall colours), giving your customer the widest range of colours available in the Australian shed market. Each shed comes complete with all parts and ground anchors.

The StormSHED® is suitable not just for the tropical north of Australia but in any location, particularly coastal locations, where stronger than normal wind speeds occur.
