The modern world has led to many changes in the way we use our homes with traditional housing choices often not adapted to the layout of a modern family. Whereas previously, mothers and fathers would commute to work, the modern methods of work are increasingly changing to working from home, where a garden office can add more space and freedom to the home.
Work from home in many ways is a fight for working productively, on the kitchen table, or with a laptop balanced on knees on the couch. However all these environments are not conducive to a good job and should not be used as a long term solution when working from home.

As working from home increases so has the growing popularity of university courses in disciplines such as creative design, art and interior design. A desk and a computer is no longer a student needs to complete all their work during summer holidays when they return from university or other education.

For the 21st century family, garden offices are ideal for a variety of logistical problems. The lightweight and airy outside rooms are perfect for pre-college activities, and parents who work from home, the chance to work away from home – and enjoy the peace and quiet that accompanies it – while still being close to the home is a great combination.

Garden offices are an unbelievable addition to any outdoor space with a wide range of sizes available and custom built offices, families may consider a garden office larger size to accommodate two or more people working – it is an ideal solution for those who run a home business or families with a large number of children who want to use the garden office to complete college work or school work over the summer.

This is my personal whinge about big business and in particular Bunnings.

Garden Sheds Online sell the same brands as Bunnings except for one. About 6 moths ago Bunnings took on anew range of garden sheds that they import from overseas. They are an inferior product that is incredibly hard to put together. From what I can tell the only reason they took on this range is because they could not compete on price with the Australian made garden sheds.

So thats my first gripe, such a large Australian company can’t keep up so they take there money overseas.

The other day I had a call from a lady who I assumed was a customer. I answered her numerous questions and then at the end of the call she told me she was from Bunnings in Labrador, QLD. Before I could ask her why she was calling an online store she hung up.

Two days later she called again with more questions. This time I asked her what was going on before I answered her questions. The lady proceeded to tell me that it was her job to price match garden sheds. A customer had been to the Bunnings store in  Brisbane with a quote from our website asking for a price match. Bunnings could not match the price because there margins are so high and she was ringing me to double check the details as they could not believe we were selling the garden shed so cheaply.

I was gob smacked. This person from a competing company had called so I could help her beat our price. Now don’t get me wrong, I was not abusive or angry in anyway to the above mentioned lady. She was just doing her job. But the arrogance of Bunnings to think I was going to help them to line there pockets.

The story gets worse. Later that day i was talking to the supplier of the garden shed in question and I told him the story.

He then went on to tell me that when Bunnings does a price match that the call there suppliers and make them wear the loss on the product. So basically due to there size and power they squeeze there suppliers to wear the price match. So all of the advertising that they do saying if were not cheaper we will beat it by 10 percent should really be -If were not cheaper our supplier will beat it by ten percent.

Now I know there will be many people that will read this and say so what I just want the cheapest product.

Well if you want the cheapest Garden Shed you better have a look at our website at www.gardenshedsonline.com.au because we are always cheaper than Bunnings.

I am that confident that we are always cheaper that if you can find the same shed from Bunnings that is cheaper than our website I will beat them by twenty percent. The only disclaimer is that the garden shed needs to be Australian made as Garden Sheds Online only supports Australian made products.

December as always has been a very busy month for us as Garden Sheds  sales are through the roof.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers who have supported us throughout the year. As without your support we would not be where we are today.

Garden Sheds Online prides itself on supplying the best value garden sheds in the Australian market place. Over the past twelve months we have continued to add to our product range. We have also been able to lower our prices which is a great feat in a market place which is becoming more and more competitive.

In th new year we will be looking to add more products so you the consumer has a larger range of sheds, garden sheds and carports to coose from.

We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas.

Garden Sheds Online are solely an online company. We deliver garden sheds Australia direct to your home.

We also offer free delivery to the depot to over 80 locations Australia wide. Our prices are so competitive that we have recently been supplying garden sheds in bulk to Melbourne builders.

We have three main suppliers that have a huge range of Garden Sheds, Aviaries, Workshops and Carports.

If you are a builder in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney or Perth please feel free to contact us if you are looking for a bulk order. We can sometimes discount our prices even further for bulk orders.

We pride ourselves on the lowest garden shed prices in the market. We are regularly 30 to 40 percent cheaper than most brick and mortar businesses. The interesting thing is that many of the brick and mortar businesses sell exactly the same brands of garden sheds that we do.

The three suppliers that we use are all Australian based and use Australian made products.

If you are in the market for a Garden Shed check out our ecommerce store or give us a call.

Although Garden Sheds Online does not have a physical office in Sydney we do offer a large range of Garden Sheds, Carports, Workshops and Aviaries to the Sydney market. Not having a physical display is our largest advantage.

Due to only having to upkeep an online display of our garden sheds we can keep our overheads way down. This saving is then passed on to you the customer.

We offer free delivery to our depot which is located in Prestons. This includes our full range of products. Delivery time is 5 – 7 working days. Alternatively you can have your Garden Shed delivered to your door anywhere in Sydney for a nominal fee.

Spanbilt have just recently offered us some amazing discounts on there Yardsaver range of Garden Sheds. and in turn we are passing the full saving on to you the customer.

To give you some idea of the savings The Yardsaver F52 Normally Retails for $299.00 Including GST. Currently we are selling it for $201.00. Thats nearly 33% or $100.00 off the recommended retail price.

These savings are right through the yardsaver range. Get in quick because these prices cant last for to long.

About six months ago I did a post on how our Garden Shed prices compared to one of the large Retail outlets. The outlet in question was bunnings.

Well I thought it was about time to update the post as some of the results are staggering to say the least. We have recently taken on the Durabuilt range of garden sheds and their quality and price is excellent to say the least.

One of the most popular shed sizes we sell is the humble 3m x 3m. Lets do the comparison.

Bunnings Garden Shed – 3m x 3m – $847.00

Garden Sheds Online – 3m x 3m – $687.50

Thats a massive saving of $159.50. Not only do you save that money but delivery time is about the same. Bunnings dont carry many Garden Sheds so they have to order them in just like everyone else.

The moral of the story is don’t always think the big guys have the best prices. SHop around and keep the savings in your own pocket

Just a quick note to anyone that is interested that we have finally launched our affiliate program.

We pay a 5% commission on all sales that are generated from your affiliate links. Now although this doesn’t sound like much it does add up. You may even be lucky enough to find customers looking to buy in bulk. Last week I had a customer buy 65 garden sheds to export overseas. The total order was around $50,000.

5%  of $50,000 is $2,500.00. Not a bad days work for placing a link or banner ad on your site.

I will post a video showing you how easy it is to use in the next week or two.

Are you in the market for a site shed but dont want to waste to much money?

Large Garden Shed

You may need a site shed for the following reasons:

1. Building a house.
2. Storage of tools and equipment on a commercial site.
3. General Garden Shed storage at a school or University.
4. Councils quiet often have site sheds at parks and playgrounds.

Garden sheds are a cheap alternative that offer a solution to a problem.

I was sitting at home on the weekend watching TV when the next batch of 15 minutes worth of ads came on.

Rather than go and make a coffee or make myself busy while they were on I decided to sit down and watch them. A Bunnings ad came on. AT the end of the Ad they give you the normal spiel about how they are the cheapest and have the best products and how you don’t really need to go anywhere else.

I have two points of view on this.

1. They dont actually have the cheapest garden sheds. Below I have made some comparison prices for garden sheds and Bird Aviaries. Keep in mind these are exactly the same products and suppliers.

As you can see from the table above shopping at Garden Sheds Online will definitely save you money.

If you are in the market for a garden shed, workshop, bird aviary or carport have a look at our website  http://gardenshedsonline.com.au/ you will be pleasantly surprised.
