At Professional Choice Sheds, we’re on a mission to provide Australia with top-quality, durable sheds that meet and exceed Australian Standards so let’s look at building better sheds for Australia: The Professional Choice Approach. Our focus is on delivering sheds that are not only affordable, but also built to last, ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity for all our customers. Many, if not most sheds in Australia fall below the minimum Australian Standards, and the use of inferior materials, such as mild imported steel, has contributed to this issue.

Cheap Sheds – How it’s done.

Everyone wants to offer cheap sheds or the cheapest shed and the only way this can be accomplished is through lowering the quality. The strength is compromised so much with many of the largest shed suppliers that they are supplied below basic Australian Standards. Calculations are made by engineer employees on higher-grade high-tensile steel, but weak mild steel is used. Lateral bracing requirements are not met because weaker steel is supplied and there are not enough beams, purlins or girts supplied. Instead of Australian Colorbond sheeting, imported sheeting is supplied. A minimum BMT (Base Metal Thickness), of Colorbond is 0.42mm. Professional Choice Sheds supply 0.48 BMT Colorbond. It is not unusual to see imported sheeting of less than 32BMT.

Buy A Decent Shed!

To ensure that your shed is safe to use on windy days, it’s important to consider the design and construction. Some nationally recognized brands sell sheds that are essentially “closed box” designs, engineered to keep all openings closed. However, this design can pose a safety hazard as it may not adequately account for wind pressures, leading to potential structural issues. Customers are often not informed of these limitations, and the sheds lack warnings about using them in windy conditions or keeping the openings securely closed when not in use. When purchasing a shed, it’s advisable to prioritize functionality and structural integrity over a purely closed-box design.

The Professional Choice Sheds Difference

At Professional Choice Sheds, we prioritise safety and strength with a 100% guarantee that your shed will match or exceed all Australian Standards. Your certification is supplied by Australia’s largest and most respected Engineering consultancy Company and not an in-house or ‘back-yard’ engineer.

Quality Australian Materials, Building Better Sheds for Australia: The Professional Choice Approach

We understand that the strength of the steel used in sheds is crucial, which is why we use G450 Hi-Tensile Cold Formed C Section for end portals, as well as Z100 BlueScope G450 Hi-Tensile Bolt Fixed Cold Formed Z Section for Purlins and Girts. This ensures the structural integrity and longevity of our sheds.

Shed Certification

Our commitment to quality extends to the certification of our sheds. We believe in independent certification, as opposed to in-house certification, to provide our customers with the assurance of safety and compliance with standards. Professional Choice Sheds are all certified by Edge Consulting, the most respected and largest business of its kind in Australia.

Shed Weather Resistance

We understand the importance of ensuring that your shed can withstand the very strongest winds in your area. Some national brands sell ‘closed box’ sheds, (see above for explanation), which are a safety hazard when not used as intended. At Professional Choice Sheds, we design our sheds with durability and weather resistance in mind, so you can have peace of mind, regardless of the weather conditions.

Transparency and Awareness

We believe in empowering our customers with knowledge and resources. We encourage the use of the independent Shed Health Test on all quotes. Also, have a look at our Smart Buyer’s Guide. We aim to provide clear and transparent information from all sources to help you make informed decisions.

Shed Value for Money

Our sheds may be around 40% more mass than other comparable options. The additional strength and safety come at a reasonable cost. With Professional Choice Sheds, you can buy with confidence. You will know that you are investing in a solid product that will last a lifetime.

Locally Made Sheds

Delivery costs are included in the price of Professional Choice Sheds. This is easily done as your shed will be made in your state and probably in your nearest city. This reduces your transport costs considerably. You also have manufacturers who will be aware of your local conditions. They know what is necessary to make the best shed product for you.
