Many larger shed suppliers in Australia offer much cheaper large sheds because they use poorer quality imported steel. In many cases, these sheds are supplied well below Australian Standards, even though they supply certification! We advise that you check out every quote with the independent Shed Health Test.
The bottom line is if it’s a cheap shed, then it is certainly not up to Australian Standards. Sheds supplied by Professional Choice Sheds are usually 30-40% more mass than most other sheds of the same dimensions. This is 100% necessary to achieve a proper Australian Standards certification.
Are there additional fees for installation?
There may be additional installation fees. As stated above, the cost of a concrete slab for the shed to sit on can be as expensive as the shed. It also depends on the size and complexity of the shed and the method of installation but flat-pack garden sheds are generally easy to install.
