FAQS

General

It is very easy. Just pick the shed you'd like to get and add it to your shopping cart and proceed to the checkout. If you are a first-time user, you may need to register on the website. You can add all the accessories that you require and nominate a delivery depot or home delivery during the checkout process. If you have any questions you can contact us via email through the Contact Us page or you can also call us on 1300 920 219. You can also place your order over the phone and pay by credit card, bank or bank transfer.

 

Depot Delivery is offered around Australia by most suppliers. (Depot delivery NOT available for Absco products). A flat rate is charged which is generally very affordable (check product pages or delivery page for more details). It is offered on our steel sheds and depending on your location the depot delivery may take from 3 to 14 days, however, in most of the cases, it happens within 6 business days from dispatch (not order date).

Home Delivery generally comes with an additional fee. If you are getting it delivered to your home, you will receive your item in 3 to 15 days (once dispatched).

Home delivery does not require customers to assist in unloading the flat pack. However, someone is required to be home to assist in some other way like opening the gate, keeping pets secure.

Delivery lead times can be slightly different between suppliers and product types. It's best to check our delivery details for more details.

Please see the delivery page for all details related to our service at Delivery

We HAVE offered custom sheds in the past and we received a large number of enquires from our valued customers for quotes on custom sheds. However, 98% of our customers found it too expensive to follow through with and end up choosing a pre-designed kit.
 
 
 
At Cheap Sheds we would love to be able to offer our customers custom made sheds, garages, carports, farm buildings etc but the truth is, there is no easy way to make it a cheap and affordable option. It's a GREAT option but not a cheap one.

Product

Depending on your level of handyman skills and past experience in DIY it can vary greatly. We do recommend you always allow for 1 - 2 days for small sheds and always have a minimum of 2 people building the kit. Larger sheds and workshops may require a bigger team and more days. This is only an estimate, and to be used as a guide.

Most of our sheds are engineered to a wind rating of W41C, to withstand wind speed of 147km per hour. Cyclone kits are also available to upgrade your shed in cyclonic areas, to W50C, for wind speeds of up to 180km per hour. You can add the cyclone kit to your shopping cart at checkout.

To find out more about this topic >> Wind Rating Calculator

A Wind rating is assigned to a certain area based on the geographic region, shielding, topography and terrain. Some areas are windier than others and others experience cyclones.

We offer many sheds, which have been 'wind rated' and some even engineered for heavy winds and include cyclone kits as an optional upgrade.

 

  • Absco Sheds- most are N2 rated which can take winds up to 147km per hour but some can be upgraded to W50C to withstand 180km per hour.
  • Spanbilt sheds are W41C rated which can take winds up to 147km per hour but some can be upgraded to W50C to withstand 180km per hour.

 

There certainly are options for tall people. Some of our product ranges offer sheds with wall heights of up to 2.035m high whereas some have gable roofs which give you plenty of headspace- up to 2.17 m highPlease check out the following page for more information >> Garden Sheds For Tall People/

Ask one of our wonderful team if you are unsure of what colour your shed channels/trimmings will be.

Assembly

The assembly is very easy! The manufacturers we work with have done excellent work in perfecting their assembly systems and all of our products are supplied with easy to follow assembly instructions. Most components are marked with individual part numbers, which are also clearly identified throughout the three-dimensional drawings displayed in the assembly instruction booklets. Please visit our Assembly page for more information. Assembly Videos/

We get asked a lot if we provide Assembly Services and the answer, in short, is no. The reason is we are an Australian Wide Online Store so our customers are located around the country in many cities and towns. To cater a team to service each area is impossible (we have tried).

THE GOOD NEWS? We have listened to our customers and have pulled together some great Tradesmen in different areas who are able to assemble our sheds. You can contact one in your area to arrange a quote.

To view our list please visit Shed Installer Index

 

Absco Sheds have been engineered with the revolutionary SNAP-TiTE assembly system. How it works is the SNAP-TiTE system locks all perimeter channels to all roof and wall sheets without the need for tools and fasteners. You line the sheets up as it is clearly demonstrated in the provided assembly instructions. And you gently tap the channels by hand to lock them in place.

Spanbilt Sheds, assemble with the Fasttrack Assembly System. The process involves:

  1. Constructing the 4 wall panels from the sheets and channels provided
  2. Standing the four panels up and fixing them together
  3. Lastly, fixing the roof to the top and you are done!

Most components are marked with individual part numbers to make it even easier for you. You will receive a detailed assembly booklet, which demonstrates the process throughout with 3D drawings.

Sheds come in kit format, flat packed. All parts are neatly sorted and packed into a box for easy transportation. This way they are also easier for you to take home if you choose the depot delivery to save money on delivery. Sizes will vary of course but most are manageable.

 

This is a common question and because the shed kit package sizes vary so we cannot give you a specific answer. However, generally speaking, you’ll need a trailer, a larger station wagon, a Ute or a 4WD to take the package home.

Once you have received your product it is good practice to check off all the parts in the package using the part list provided in the box. Taking this step will ensure you have everything you need when you decide to assemble the product.

There is nothing worse than setting aside a day for the project and discovering a part is missing. Some customers choose to wait for an extended period of time before assembling their product and find themselves in this situation. So to avoid any disappointment (in the rare case a part is missing or you need a replacement), we recommend you check your product immediately upon receiving it.

If there is any part missing you can send a request to Cheap Sheds, who will notify the manufacturer immediately and arrange for replacements to be sent out. You have 30 days upon receiving the product to report a missing part with Cheap Sheds. However, if you are in this situation and it’s beyond 30 days after receiving your product, please still contact us to see if we can assist you with finding you a solution.
