Sheds: One for Every Purpose in the Australian Landscape
The versatility of sheds answers the needs of Australia’s industrial and residential sectors!
Sheds are constructed of a wide range of materials catering to the buyer’s requirements, including durability, low maintenance, a specific budget, and curbside appeal.
The versatility of Wide Span Sheds allows adaptability to an individual’s preference and purpose, whether the tradition of wood or strength of what is a favoured steel product meets that need. We’ll explore the varied shed types with the material specifications and how these benefit the Australian landscape.
These play an integral role as a workshop for the garden, an agricultural barn, or a durable manufacturing structure. With these details decision making is more straightforward.
The Most Suitable Shed Material
Wide Span Sheds materials used for building the structures are how they are categorised with buyers considering the sturdiness, budget, low maintenance, and overall appeal.
Steel
The most popular option for sheds is steel a widely used material in Australia considering its strength and durability. The popular brands are weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing with some offering exceptional value for their corrosion resistance.
These sheds are commonly used for commercial and residential purposes including manufacturing, the garden or rural sector based primarily on the durability and strength of the material.
Wooden
Woodsheds offer a traditional charm, a natural aesthetic many homeowners prefer for their gardens. Some rural buyers choose these due to the ease of modification and personalization compared to the metal material. Wood is an appealing material that many prefer primarily for the appeal.
The downside of wood is its higher maintenance than other materials since it is more challenging to protect against harsh weather conditions and the threat of pests.
Composite
With modern innovation, many sheds combine steel frames with a wood exterior for durability, charm, and appeal, plus exceptional functionality. These are becoming a favoured, practical option.
Plastic material
Plastic is a lightweight material often made from vinyl or resin making them resistant to rust or rot unlike the previous two options. The material also requires lower maintenance than other materials, much less care and upkeep, particularly compared to wood.
Plastic is often used in residences or nurseries for tools and equipment for the lawn and garden. These are more of a small storage capacity, usually seen for something other than manufacturing or industrial purposes.
Fabric materials
These are a temporary solution used for portable storage and temporary solutions. They are made from a strong, high-quality, heavy-duty material that’s generally weather resistant. The shed is relatively simple to assemble and dismantle, often used for seasonal purposes.
Aluminium sheds
The aluminium material is lightweight compared to steel, making them a simplified version, easier to install, suited to coastal areas, and naturally corrosion resistant. However, these are less durable and robust than the steel variety but a viable choice for many applications.
Many homeowners use aluminium as a solution for their garden to house gardening equipment and tools.
