The Shed Health Test

Developing sheds and carports capable of taking an additional load lead to some discoveries. Developing shed and carports capable of and additional load of 20kg per square metre on the roof to allow the retrofit of Solar panels meant looking at what is available now. Professional Choice Sheds has some remarkable discoveries to share!

Some the best engineers in Australia discovered that to make a shed or carport strong enough to take solar panels, on average their sheds were coming in at over 40% more mass (heavier) than almost all other sheds in Australia.

Surprise finding you can use to find the best shed.

On further investigation as to why they were so much stronger, it was discovered that nearly all existing steel sheds are not built to Australian Standards. Sheds available fell into 2 categories: –

  • Manufacturers using cheap imported mild steel from China, South Korea and India
  • Manufacturers using much stronger high tensile Australian made steel.

It was surprising to find that many were rating inferior mild steel the same as high quality, heavier high tensile Australian steel. They failed the Australian Standards Test!
