The thickness of steel that Colorbond sheeting must be attached to is just one simple easy-checked point. Most sheds or garages have TRIMDEK or CUSTOM ORB or a Chinese import attaching to 0.75mm or less BMT (Base Metal Thickness) and yet the manufacturer specification is a minimum of 1mm BMT. Unless the framing is very close (400mm-450mm which is unlikely on most structurers), they do not meet manufacturer specification and are therefore do not meet NCC compliance – no matter what the engineering certification says.

There is a big difference in the quality high tensile steel made in Australia and the much cheaper mild steel imported from China, India or Korea used by most shed manufacturers in Australia. Mild steel does not have the strength and is lighter than quality Australian steel. Australian high tensile steel may sound similar to an imported equivalent but in many cases, the Australian high tensile steel could be twice as strong as the cheaper mild steel import.

o one wants a sag in their roof. The “sag” can be measured in the deflection of the roof. High tensile Australian steel is a lot less ‘bendable’ than low tensile imports.
