Designed from Real Experience
Everything in our sheds comes from real-world building experience. We’re not tied to generic software or offshore systems, which allows us to refine the design properly and keep the build process simple and efficient.
It’s not just about the components – it’s how everything works together. From foundations and base connections through to cladding, weather sealing, and overall finish, every detail has a purpose.
Foundations
Foundations
Every shed starts here. Site-specific foundations are designed to suit each build.
- Square pads and piles sized to suit ground conditions
- Supports all portals, wind posts, and structural loads
- Designed and engineered for each individual site
Base connection
Base Connection
Heavy-duty galvanised brackets fix the structure to the concrete.
- Strong base fixing for long-term stability
- Hot-dip galvanised for corrosion protection
- Reduces movement through the structure
Knee connection
Bolted front plate
Enclosed knee connections replace traditional angled braces.
- No diagonal knee braces taking up space
- Strong, clean connection between column and rafter
- Improves usability and overall appearance
Knee connection
Screwed back plate
Back plate completes the enclosed knee connection system.
- Pre-measured fixings for fast installation
- Clean internal finish with concealed connections
- Consistent assembly across the full structure
Inside our sheds
Portal Frame
A clean, open structure designed for practical use.
- Open span with no unnecessary bracing
- Clear usable space throughout the building
- Consistent alignment and finish
Cladding Alignment
Shed dimensions that suit the cladding
We design the shed to suit the cladding, not the other way around.
- Full ribs at both ends of every wall
- Flashings that line up properly
- Cleaner, sharper-looking buildings
Flash Guard weather seal
Weather Sealing
Flashguard sealing follows the roof profile to improve performance.
- Seals around rib profiles to reduce water entry
- Flexible material adapts over time
- Improves long-term weather protection
Invisible overlap
Cladding Finish
Clean overlaps and consistent profiles improve the final look.
- Reduced visibility of cladding joins
- Profiles designed to sit tight and consistent
- Sharper, more finished appearance

These are the details most companies leave out – it takes better materials, more effort, and real experience to get it right.
