You basically have two options when choosing a garden shed and they are Timber and Steel.

Steel Garden Sheds

Steel garden sheds are a normally cheaper than a timber garden shed and they are definitely less maintenance. Most Australian Garden Sheds are made from Bluescope steel so they have a 20 year warranty on the steel. Due to the fact you can order a variety of colours they do not need painting every two years like a timber garden shed does. They are also much lighter in weight so they are much easier to relocate if you are moving homes.

If you live in an area that is prone to white ants then Steel is really the only option as white ants will destroy a Timber Garden Shed in no time. Timber is also prone to rotting if your garden shed is located in a damp area of your yard.

Really the only time you should consider a timber garden shed is when in fits in with the aesthetics of your house.

Steel garden sheds also have a better carbon footprint on the environment.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
