What’s the difference

Small sheds, medium sheds and large sheds

There are a lot of new and old shed companies selling many various different systems, to simplify it we have broken it down to 3 core groups small medium and large sheds.

1. Residential and small rural sheds suited to a lifestyle blocks up to 200m2 buildings, these companies are mostly focused on small domestic buildings. They have systems in place to cater for large volumes of small sheds. This is a competitive market and costs are trimmed vigorously to provide lower budget garages for everyday people. Usually, large Australian shed franchises who specialize in lightly built low to medium quality, price driven domestic sheds. The quality of these sheds diminishes when the stud heights and the spans increase.   
2. In the middle are companies selling medium to large farm size buildings. 140 to 600m2 these buildings are more suitable for every day personal use eg lifestyle size sheds, and small to medium size commercial sheds. In this group you will find a spectrum from low quality sheds right through to very high-quality decent buildings. The Australian shed franchises and a few of the New Zealand shed companies struggle with quality here. You need to do your research and use due diligence to make the right choice, it is easy to pay too much for a lot less.
3. Large rural buildings and commercial type sheds 400 plus m2 These buildings can be categorized as business, medium to large scale buildings e.g. pack houses potentially with tilt slab walls and multi-story offices. This is specialized construction requiring Indepth design and quoting, most of the time these large building companies don’t have time to chase the group 1 or 2 sheds.
