Questions to ask before buying an industrial or rural shed

There are certain things you should know before you start building your shed- things like permits, engineering type, safety standards etc. To help you identify the best shed retailers, ask these questions first:

• Does your steel meet the Australian standards? Be careful when choosing imported and cheap industrial shed materials. Although it’s affordable, it may not offer the same quality as the ones approved by Australian standards.
• Will it stand-up to Australia’s harsh weather conditions? Australia’s climate can be punishing and unpredictable. Ensure that the vendor sells shed materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and old age.
• Will you be able to do a pre-engineered or project-specific engineered shed project? Pre-engineered industrial or rural farm sheds have the construction pieces already made by using generic design considerations. Project-specific caters to a more customised solution for your sheds.
• Do I need a permit? Shed builders should be able to guide you on obtaining the proper permits for your projects. Required permits differs on every state so it’s best to also ask your local council.
• Will I be protected by warranties? Only work with shed companies that are confident in their products. A good shed company will automatically provide you with warranties, no questions asked!
