Everything You Need to Know About Steel Sheds
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STEEL SHEDS
Sheds have long been a favourite addition to the family home. And it's not hard to see why...
Your garden shed is not just a place to store your tools and gardening equipment. Over the past few years, we here at Cheap Sheds have seen many different uses for the Garden Shed. It’s not just a solution to storage problems.
TOUGH AS STEEL
When it comes to steel, you can choose between Zinc Steel and Colour Steel. They are both the same core metal (a highly durable Aluminium and Zinc alloy) however the Zinc is a clear finish (steel colour) while the Colour Steel has two coats of paint burnt on it.
They are both the same thickness and they last for decades. The only difference between the two is the colour. Zinc is a more economical option, as it does not have the cost of painting. The process of applying the paint on very high temperature does come at a cost, so Zinc is usually priced lower than the same model in Colour Steel.
TYPES OF STEEL SHEDS
Most common garden sheds on the market are the Garden Shed kits . These are pre-engineered sheds which are made to be DIY market. This is the affordable option because sheds as manufactured in the factory, flat packed and delivered to your home.
They are made to meet industry standards and there are MANY different options to choose from include shapes, styles and colours.
AVOID MAKING A COSTLY MISTAKE
Not all sheds are the same...
When it comes to buying a Garden Shed, there are a few things you must know to ensure you get the shed you want without paying too much.
The biggest difference is knowing where the shed was manufactured before comparing cost. There can be a big difference between Australian Made Steel Sheds and some imported steel sheds.
Although we are becoming a global marketplace and importing products is not only easy but accessible. There are always risks with choosing products manufactured offshore, especially large steel sheds.
In the past, we have found that imports are made using low strength/low-quality steel and as a result, they can change shape and rust easily. Also, they are not made to withstand the harsh climatic conditions this country is known for.
So, yes there are affordable imported products which are quality but it's the risk of the unknown.
WHY BUY AUSTRALIAN MADE SHEDS?
The leading suppliers of sheds in the world are Australian Based Companies. Our manufacturers have access to the highest quality metals available to be able to manufacture quality Garden Sheds, Carports, Garages, and more.
The other big reason you should buy Australian Made is the sheds made here are built to withstand the harsh weather. In a country that has temperatures that range from -23°C to 50°C and a country that has earthquakes, tropical storms, and yearlong droughts... You need a shed that can handle it!
