How do low cost sheds translate into quality?

A new shed is a big investment, but does low cost mean you’ll receive poor quality? Here are the top five questions you need to ask before purchasing your shed.

When it comes to making a big purchase, more often than not you get what you pay for.

While the budget you’ve set for your new shed will be weighing on your mind when you decide which shed to select for your home or business, remember that there are more important things to tick off your checklist rather than the price.

By making a well-researched decision and considering all your options before you purchase your new shed, you’re ensuring you’ll get the highest quality product right from the start of the get go – and you won’t regret your purchase in the long-term.

Keep in mind that if the price of a shed you’re eyeing off seems too good to be true – it generally is!

Five questions to help you choose

We’ve compiled the top five questions you need to ask before you sign on the dotted line for your new shed:

  • Is there evidence of engineering certification? If not, the company should provide this.
  • Is the engineer registered? You can check this yourself via the National Engineers of Australia Registration Board – simply visit www.engineersaustralia.org.au
  • Will the engineering of the shed meet the wind and terrains of the landscape it will be built in?  
  • How long is the warranty supplied by the company? Is it at least 15 years?
  • How much experience does the company have, to back up its quality and expertise?

The experts at Allied Sheds have more than 35 years’ experience in helping customers make the right choice for their farm or business shed needs.

Which shed kit is the right fit for me?

When considering which shed kit is the right choice for your home or business, you need to consider the difference between the two main types of shed kits available on the market.

Many people overlook the most fundamental part of their new shed: the material it is made of.

Not all metals are created equal. There are two main types of kit sheds available on the market – structural steel and C-purlin – and both vary dramatically in strength and durability.

While heavier to transport, structural steel kit sheds are much easier to set up; meaning you’ll save time and labor. These sheds also allow larger span sizes of more than 40 meters, whereas C-purlin sheds aren’t strong enough to meet the demands of sheds that size.
