Ready Sheds come in two styles. One style is described as a "Lean-to roof" or sometimes referred to as a "Reverse skillion roof" which means that the roof slopes downwards from the front to back in a single plane. This directs any rainwater away from the door entrance. The rear wall height of 1.830m keeps the shed around the standard fence height to keep the neighbours happy if it is situated close to a boundary fence. The front wall height is 1.980m to allow good headroom and maximise storage.
The other style is a "gable" roof where the roof meets and peaks in the middle( like a traditional house design) The wall height is 1.830m and the gable height is 2.025.
The door opening width on the skillion roof sheds is 750mm and on the gable roof is 1.5m , allowing easier access for larger items.
All of our sheds are made in New Zealand from high tensile, chromium-free solid gauge steel. Our timber is sustainably sourced and New Zealand grown.
Where possible we source all fasteners from New Zealand also.
In normal weather conditions, our sheds are designed to be weatherproof, however, in extreme wind and rain conditions some water may enter through the joined areas in the shed. For this reason, anything stored in the shed that requires complete protection from the elements should have additional protection.
Yes, our sheds come with a strong treated timber frame base which is designed to sit on level ground. It is fitted with an additional 25mm heavy-duty treated timber floor that is secured to the frame base. This method of construction provides a cavity that allows for airflow beneath the shed to keep your gear dry.
The ground/substrate needs to be reasonably flat and stable. Choose an area that is not prone to flooding. Our timber floors can float over almost anything, dirt ,grass or concrete or multiple surfaces, compacted hardball will incur a $99 fee as we will need steel Waratahs to get through the aggregate.
Placing the shed on unstable and/or uneven ground will cause undue stress on the shed and may result in the door/s not operating correctly or water ingress. Doing so will also void the warranty.
Please Note:
If there is significant work required by our team to clear, and/or level the site we may have to apply a minimum hourly rate charge of $65.00. If you are unsure of your site suitability/condition please send us a photo we can assess and comment.
Ideally if there is a space of at least 400mm around all sides and the roof. We can hard up to to boundaries and houses but it will incur an extra $45 fee as we can't rivet the corners, sir we need to move the shed on and of the floor multiple times to get the corners riveted which takes more labour.
If your shed is sited on a concrete base, 10mm expanding fasteners are used to secure the shed. In other situations, specially designed treated timber/or corrosion-protected steel pegs are driven into the ground the shed is secured to.
Our sheds are rated to N2 - 147 km/hr.
Our sheds are not rated for cyclone areas.
Generally sheds less than 30 metres square do not require consent from your local council for size.
In addition, below are a few basic guidelines to follow, but we do suggest consulting your local council if you are unsure as requirements can differ between Regions in New Zealand:
The majority of people prefer to position their garden shed against a boundary fence. This is up to the property owner but please be aware that in the case of the Christchurch City Council, they may ask you to move your shed as, in theory, according to their legislation it should be its own height away from the boundary.
If your garden shed is sitting on a timber floor it can easily be moved to another position if required, so that may be a safer option. However, if laying a custom-made concrete pad, this can become difficult so please be aware of these rules prior to deciding on a site.
If you are wanting to position your garden shed at the front of your property, i.e. between the road and the house, different regulations may apply.
The siting of the shed is the property owner's responsibility and we will site the shed where we are instructed to.
