Thank You All For Helping Me Design The Shed Of My Dreams!

“I would like to thank you all for helping me design the shed of my dreams. I have finally managed to get it built and I am so pleased with results.

I needed to build an L-shaped shed because the area in my yard didn’t lend itself to a traditional box or rectangular shed. And I wanted to fit two cars, a camping trailer and workshop into the space. I hunted around a bit with companies like Stratco, True Steel and stuff like that but none of them really wanted to assist in customising outside of their designs.

I contacted Jason and we spoke about what I wanted and what Designer Sheds could deliver. He was very helpful in providing ideas for how we could achieve what I needed to make the shed that I wanted. I was pretty stoked about that.

The other bit that I liked was that if it didn’t get through the council stage, the deposit I paid could be refunded and Designer Sheds would work with me to try and meet those council requirements. If there was anything that needed adjusting, Jason was more than helpful to make sure that it got done. (I even believe the council did me a favour by insisting that the back 6M of the sheds be a carport and not enclosing it!)

Thank you all for all the work you have done to get my shed project over the line.”

I Didn’t Have To Meet Up With Anyone, I Didn’t Have To Take Hours Off Work, And The Result Was Fantastic. Honestly, I Enjoyed This!

“Truthfully, I did not think this was going to be an easy project.

We wanted two carports and a shed (21×7 metres) with the third carport (5 x 7 metres) adjoining the shed at a right angle. The tricky part was always going to be making it look like one structure rather than three pieces stuck together.

There weren’t any shed companies – and I assure you that we actually rang around a lot – that seemed to understand what I was trying to do. Designer Sheds was different.

I liked Designer Sheds because the blueprint was done online, while I was sitting in my office. I couldn’t believe it. When I first rang Jason, he mirrored my property on Google Maps, and in the space of five minutes he was able to reflect the optimal shape and size of the integrated shed/carports idea. So interactive and so easy.

At the time I remember thinking, these guys REALLY know their stuff. They’ve been there, done that. And from that point forward I was exceedingly comfortable with the process.

After I signed up I received all technical drawings for Council submission, and shortly thereafter I received all the construction parts, so stress-free. There were no hassles and the few questions I had along the way were very minor (e.g. colour of the gutter downpipes) that were promptly responded and attended to.

I’ve been working with some significant renovations on the house, which has meant dealing with a lot of suppliers and tradies, and hiccups were continually expected. But that was not the case with Designer Sheds. The guy that laid the pad looked at the detailed plans and said, “Oh, yeah, this is easy” and that was that, done. The two-man team that erected the structure asked no questions, merely came on site and erected all over three days. One would reasonably expect that there would be some setbacks, e.g. some spans or beams that wouldn’t properly fit, or something. Nothing! Everything installed like a charm.

I really enjoyed the whole process. I didn’t have to meet up with anyone at home, I didn’t have to take hours off work, I didn’t have to answer about anything, and the result was fantastic. Honestly, I enjoyed this. Thank you Designer Sheds for your professionalism.”

DesignerSheds Won Out On Price AND Customer Service

“I wanted to replace my old non-Colorbond shed. Going custom meant that I could match the new shed to the size of the existing slab. That way I wouldn’t need to cover the cost of pouring a new slab. Plus, since the new shed would be replacing the old, with the same specs, there’d be no need for council approval.

I got quotes on pre-built sheds from two other places, but DesignerSheds won out on price AND customer service. No one else came close to the knowledge, advice and support Designer Sheds provided to me.

Whenever I had a question regarding the manufacture of the shed, or the construction, Designer Sheds were always there to assist and answer questions either by phone or email. Sure enough, everything went to plan.

The kit went together without a hitch. Even our 75-year-old builder was over the moon with the design and manufacture of the kit. (And he’s built more than his fair share of sheds!)

If anyone has a decision to make regarding building and designing a shed, DesignerSheds are the people with the right price and right customer service. I have since recommended many friends and acquaintances to Designer Sheds.”

My neighbour is very envious and comments on the quality and finish every time he visits

“I tried several other shed companies but Designer Sheds gave the best service and helped me decide on size etc and the price was competitive as well.

The design and ordering was great. I had to go in to hospital for surgery which delayed manufacturing, but that was no problem for the guys. It was delivered on time and not a component missing.

As you can see by the pics, the shed was a big task but it was a construction pleasure. I was helping the builder to erect (a 68 year old apprentice you might say!). I might add the builder I used was super fussy and was also impressed.

It looks and functions better than I could ever expect. My neighbour is very envious and comments on the quality and finish every time he visits.

So in closing, I would recommend Designer Sheds to any one that requires a well-finished and well-designed shed with top quality materials.”

Gary Shepherd

Everyone I dealt with at Designer Sheds was good ol’ fashioned country service

“I wanted to make the most of the space I had available. This was restricted by two boundaries and another shed. So I wanted the biggest shed I could get in the spot, which eliminated a lot of the mass-market, off-the-shelf kits.

The other important design factor was the pitch of the roof. We’ve got a couple of big gumtrees that pour twigs and leaves year round. So getting a 30-degree roof (something none of the other shed suppliers I contacted did) meant that the foliage would run off rather than building up like it does on my other shed.

Pricing wise, the shed was not particularly expensive – especially given the quality of the materials. There was not a single nut or bolt missing. And we had plenty of spares so we didn’t need to worry about scrimping or saving if something went astray.

I found the design process exceptional. They were more than happy to accommodate multiple tweaks and changes until I was happy. I’m glad we took the extra time. We referred to those design plans throughout the entire process – not just for building approval – they were genuinely useful for the build and fitout.

I’ve done some woodworking in the past, but I’m by no means a builder. Nonetheless, erecting the shed was straightforward enough. David from the support team was even kind enough to provide his mobile number and told me to call if I ran into any problems. Sure enough, I had some questions along the way and took them up on that. And they were generous with their time.

Everyone I dealt with at Designer Sheds was good ol’ fashioned country service. Doing the whole thing online was great too. It really felt like nothing was a hassle.”

The Shed Erector Was Very Complimentary About The Gauge Of Materials Used, The Sizing Accuracy And The Price

“We built a double horse paddock shelter. The shed was delivered correctly, on-time and all the components were there.

Previously we were given a quote from another company, then when it was time to get started, they doubled the price, which was out of the question.

We decided to go with Designer Sheds because I couldn’t find any pre-packaged sheds from the standard builders that did what we wanted. Unlike most of the skillion-roof sheds around here, we went for a pitched roof on your recommendation.

The standard sizing for most out-of-the-box sheds was 3.6, which just wasn’t going to be big enough. We have two large hunter-style horses and we wanted to make sure they had plenty of room to move around. Especially if there was bad weather and we’d need to be in there with the horses.

When we started looking around, we researched three companies. Construction, price and delivery time were all important. Designer Sheds came out slightly cheaper. But the main reason we went with you is because I liked the construction and build quality a lot more based on what I could see on the internet.

My initial conversations with the team throughout the design phase were very good indeed. We went into a lot of detail around what I wanted it for and the kinds of conditions it would need to withstand. Once we finished the order, the follow up was excellent. I was always kept in the loop as to when a certain activity was about to happen.

The whole customer service aspect was very good. Even once I had the materials, I appreciated the check-in calls to see if I had started assembly and if I needed any help.

It made me feel very comfortable that even though it’s being shipped to me from somewhere else in Australia, I knew exactly what was happening and when it would arrive.

We were very happy with the quality on delivery. The local shed erector who worked with me was very complimentary about the gauge of materials used, the sizing accuracy and the price. He now has your name for future reference.

It’s been on the to-do list for a long time. I’m glad to have it done and I’m glad I did it with Designer Sheds.”

Hi Jason,

It’s been nearly 6 months since the shed was erected, so I thought I’d list all the issues I’ve had with it:

Jason Helped Me Work Out What I REALLY Wanted And What I Could Do

“I wanted a space where I could setup my workshop and muck around with my cars. When I started looking for a shed company, I pretty well went through every manufacturer online as well as checking out the ones you see advertised on TV.

Some of the prices were lower than Designer Sheds, but the quality was mostly pretty ordinary and the reviews weren’t so great. I felt like I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted in my mind. I found that most places would only do a standard 6 x 9 or 9 x 9.

When I started talking to your shed designer Jason, he asked me, “what do you REALLY want?”. I told him that I needed space for a couple of car bays, a hoist, some storage and room to setup my workshop. We decided an 8 x 10 would be perfect for what I wanted. We also decided to go a bit higher to get some extra room for the hoist. And I added a lean-to that I could keep the caravan under.

Designer Sheds seemed to be the only one that could do what I wanted done.

If I had of just done what I was originally planning to do, I would have got an ordinary 9 x 9 shed and probably would have been “happy-ish” with that.  But you helped me work out what I REALLY wanted and what I could do. As a result I ended up with a much better shed.”

“As Volunteers From The Race Club, Price Was The Major Factor As We Only Had A Limited Budget”

“We needed to upgrade our jockey shed to meet minimum standards for Racing Queensland so we used Designer Sheds to custom design a shed sufficient for our needs.

Price was the major factor as we only had a limited budget. Ease of designing and ordering was also a factor as, being volunteers for the race club, we didn’t have a lot of spare time on our hands to fully research and organise a shed build from scratch.

I found Designer Sheds on a google search amongst other shed companies and got a quote. Jason was very informative and made the process straightforward and easy. Price was very reasonable and Jason was prepared to make changes to help us keep our end cost down…nothing was a hassle for him!

The design process was simple and clear. The telephone consultations were great, especially being able to talk through even the littlest details with Jason and watch him make the changes to the design in real time.

I talked to other shed companies as well at the time and Designer Sheds were by far the easiest and most helpful to deal with. It always leaves a good impression when you get someone with a friendly attitude who is prepared to go the extra mile to add value.

I would definitely recommend Designer Sheds!

No One Else Was Providing Drawings With Every Tweak Like Designer Sheds Did

“The process has been good so far! I’m just waiting for the slab to go down. And waiting for the guy to erect it.

We wanted to keep the cars out of the weather, so my builder suggested the shed as an affordable alternative to building a garage off the house.

I got a couple of quotes. Most of them were all very close. The reason I went with Designer Sheds was because of the thorough design process. Little things like getting help deciding where to put the windows etc. was useful.

Other companies I spoke with could tell me the details in an email, but no one else was providing drawings with every tweak like Designer Sheds did. It gave me a lot of confidence that my instructions over the phone had been interpreted correctly. You just look at it and go, “oh yeah that’s exactly what I was talking about.” That helped.

Their customer service was great. They were very good at talking me through the quote and the process. If I was doing it all again, I’d have no hesitations using them.”

“Happy To Recommend Designer Sheds To Anyone At Anytime”

“Have been meaning to send you an email to say thanks for all your phone help whilst I was building my shed over the Xmas and New Year period. It was very helpful and greatly appreciated.

The shed has been finished for some time now and I am very pleased with it. Happy to recommend Designer Sheds to anyone at anytime.

I had an existing shed which I had to reduce to fit the new shed on my block. All worked out and the two sheds went together very well indeed.

Did almost everything myself. Just had a couple of mates help me stand up the frame and I got some pros to put the roller door up.

Putting everything together was fairly intuitive and the instructions and specs were really good.

Actually enjoyed the whole experience.”

Everyone I Spoke To Said “We Can’t Do This” Or “We Can’t Do That”

“I started looking for a shed but I wanted something slightly out of the ordinary. Nothing too radical, but everyone I spoke to said “we can’t do this” or “we can’t do that”. I thought “how difficult can it be”. Maybe they were too busy or just didn’t care.

All I wanted was two bays – one longer than the other – with the roof covering the entire rectangular slab. So you effectively end up with an L shape with a covered veranda area in front of the smaller bay.

Then I found Designer Sheds on the net and called them. Nothing was too much trouble. “Yes we can do that” and “not a problem”. Really nice, helpful people.

I sent a rough sketch of what I was after and they got back to me very promptly with a preliminary drawing. Fantastic. Your guys were great. Nothing was too much trouble and I couldn’t be happier.

Your customer service is second to none, the way it should be. The quality and promptness of the information and plans was excellent and when I’m finished I’ll send you a few pics.”

Not only does that look much better, it also saved me quite a bit of money. It was nice knowing that they were looking out for me.

“I’m passionate about spending time in my shed.

I wanted something that was big enough for me to do everything I need to do with my race cars… and fixing and tinkering with things in general.

This project’s been a couple of years in the planning, so I was very excited to see it come to life.

I’m very particular about what I want, what I design and what I expect. But I have to say, it’s turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

Previously I’d used another shed company, but I wasn’t too thrilled with them. So this time around, I checked out about half a dozen companies and as you might have guessed, I chose Designer Sheds.

The initial spiel was, “no two sheds are alike”, which had me hooked.

Between the website and the guarantees they offer, I had a lot of confidence that Designer Sheds would be the right team to work with – that turned out to be a good decision.

The photos of completed projects were good and I was convinced about the strength and quality of their sheds. Based on my conversations and what I saw and read, I knew their attention to detail was very good.

I must admit, I had a few friends raise some concerns that I was dealing with an interstate company. As it turned out, there was no need to worry. Everything generally ran very smoothly.

Any time I had an issue or a change of plans, it was never too much trouble for Jason and Dave to help out. Even when problems outside of their control arose, they simply said: “here’s how we fix it” or “here’s how you should modify things” – always without any charge. And that was very, very reassuring.

I found the design process very good. I basically sat in my car while we did it. It took a couple of sessions while we got things perfect.

I wanted to have enough width to get my racing car and trailer in. They could have done a two-door / one-door which wouldn’t have looked great… and it would have also meant a commercial door, but Jason came back with some recommendations to make the centre more narrow and expand the doors. Not only does that look much better, it also saved me quite a bit of money. It was nice knowing that they were looking out for me.

I also appreciated Jason’s suggestion to insulate the ceiling. Apart from looking fantastic, it does the job and I think it was well worth the expense. Likewise, when I wanted to modify how the mezzanine was done, it was no trouble at all. I just shot over a thumbnail drawing and they whipped up the designs.

Couldn’t be happier with the end result.

A lot of people have stopped out the front of home and asked me who did my shed. It’s great.””

Rick Luff

I’m pretty particular, which probably explains why I built my other shed – a big timber garage – from scratch. But that took a TONNE of time and work. This, on the other hand, was EASY.

“My shed’s 10x12x3.7M with double garage doors.

I had to have at least a 3.2M opening so I could get my boat in there. Most of the people we spoke to said we could only have a 2.9M opening, which obviously wasn’t going to work.

Being able to get a custom shed for the same money that I would have paid for an off-the-shelf shed was pretty good. The difference was, others couldn’t provide what I was after, whereas you guys could.

I had a couple of consultations to get the designs down. We walked through a few options and Jason made a recommendation, which I agreed with, and we went with that.

Being able to see the shed built on the screen and provide real-time feedback was really good. It was easy to say, “yep, that’s what I want, or change that, then send me a quote”.

I wanted something quite specific. I wanted to be able to build something I actually want. And I wanted to have input. Designer Sheds fitted that. And it fit in to my budget.

I guess you could say I’m pretty particular, which probably explains why I built my other shed – a big timber garage – from scratch. But that took a tonne of time and work.

This, on the other hand, was EASY. The delivery went really smoothly. The concrete design was simple. The engineer and the builder had no dramas with any of it.

I’ve already recommended Designer Sheds to a number of people who I knew were looking for something specific. I knew they would have trouble getting what they wanted through a company like Fair Dinkum, Total Span and Ranbuild… because they’re really only customisable to a limited extent.

With Designer Sheds, I got the feeling we could have done pretty much anything. I could have said I wanted something pretty radical and they would have done it.

From my experience it was a very smooth process.”

Matthew Warner

Designer Sheds were able to do things that others couldn’t – especially in terms of maximising the space in a residential area

“I’ve gone for a large shed for where it’s located. It’s a 15x14x7.3M. I just wanted to utilise as much as the space as possible. To me, the space was worth a lot more inside than it was outside.

To be honest, I don’t even call it a shed, I call it a warehouse. When you walk in it doesn’t really resemble a shed inside, it’s more like an industrial warehouse.

I did have some setbacks with the council, but Designer Sheds was fantastic and really patient with me at every step of the way. I couldn’t fault them. It would have been quite easy for the team to say it’s too hard and not help me, but that wasn’t the case at all.

I went to a few providers for quotes. Price was obviously a factor, but Designer Sheds were able to do quite a few things that others couldn’t – especially in terms of maximising the space in a residential area.

Also, later in the process when I had the complications with council, I was really thankful that I had gone with a team that was able to help me at every step of the way.

Everything was easy. I was happy with the step-by-step emails saying, ‘this is what we’ve done, here’s what the next step is.’ It was all very clear and well communicated. I was happy with the information I received along the way.

At the end of the day, I’m very happy with the result.”

A Great New Shed That Makes The Best Use Of The Space

When we were doing renovations and in a pool, I had to pull down the old 6-by-6 double shed and replace it with something new.

I came across Designer Sheds on Google, and contacted you guys as well as some other shed companies. What impressed me about Designer Sheds was your ability to design my shed online via screen sharing.

I did multiple sessions on the phone with two of your designers. Nothing was too much trouble to get the shed exactly how I wanted it. You followed up with me until we were ready to go.

After I ordered the shed, all the materials arrived exactly when they said they were going to, in exactly the right condition. Everything was spot-on. Now I’ve got a great new shed that makes the best use of the space, better than off-the-shelf products would have done.

You Can Just Tell It’s Made Better Than The Others We Looked At

“I was helping a mate design and build his Designer Sheds shed. His block is on a big angle, so pretty early on we decided that we wanted a two-level slab. That way we could make the most of the space we had available.

I had a look at some other companies, but they only had stock-standard sheds. That would have meant buying two separate sheds and trying to find a way to join them and put the door where we wanted. Designer Sheds made it easy to custom-design a shed with a step down from scratch.

The guys knew exactly what I wanted from the start. Then they helped me bring it to life. We could put the door where we liked and get everything exactly how we wanted. I even changed it one or two times after pouring the slab.

The other companies just gave you the shed. With Designer Sheds we ended up going with all the ridgey-didge features like windows and insulation. The custom design meant that we could have the storage area at the lowest point and have the garage at the back at the right level, without fussing around with retaining walls.

Now it’s done, it looks awesome. You can tell it’s well built. You can just tell it’s made better than the others we looked at.”

It’s the Taj Mahal of Sheds!

Prior to dealing with Designer Sheds, I had some experience with the small garden variety, like you buy from your hardware store, and also a bigger shed of approximately 10m x 15m that I played a part in putting together.

So when I came to build my latest shed, I looked on the Internet at a number of shed companies, but Designer Sheds was the only one that would allow me to build a shed to my specifications.

The delivery process was as smooth as glass. And it fit on my slab perfectly. The end result is perfect. I couldn’t have done better with the space I had and the money that I had available. ”

My Designer Shed Has Already Survived A Cyclone!

I first heard of Designer Sheds on the internet. The beauty of their model is that I could design exactly what I wanted, how I wanted it.

 My shed has been up now for about 9 months and it’s already been through a cyclone and come out good as new, so you could say it’s doing alright!

There are lots of shed companies around but Designer Sheds let you design everything for your needs.”

Extremely Happy With The End Result!

This is the first shed I’ve built. I knew what I wanted to achieve, but also that the shed I wanted was a bit different from the standard shed designs you see around.

 My shed consultant was able to come up with a design that suited me and we went back and forth to make all the pieces work. Now it’s up and it’s come out really well. I’m extremely happy with the end result!”

I Call It My Heaven On Earth!

As someone who has had no experience building a shed before, I was a bit nervous about the process because there were so many things I didn’t know.

 During the design stage, if there was anything I didn’t know or didn’t understand, it was so easy to call and have someone talk me through it.

At one stage, the council asked for extra engineering documents and the guys were more than happy to provide them to me within 24 hours.

 The end result is amazing. I call it my heaven on earth. And in fact we were able to get the end result for less than 1/3 the cost of other solutions.

Thank you so much – I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.”

I Get To Enjoy Equestrian All Year Round!

I’ve got four horses on my property and I wanted an area that was protected from the sun and the rain so I could spend time training them.

Now I can spend more time outside with my horses, particularly in the summer time. Thanks!”

I Waited And Waited On Other Shed Companies…

I waited and waited on other shed companies for weeks to give me engineers detailed plans. But with Designer Sheds, I paid my deposit, and within a matter of minutes, I had all the engineer’s details in my hands, ready to go to council.

I didn’t even need their manual and I put it up in two days myself, finished and everything. Even the guy from the Council commented when he visited how nice it looked.”

We Were Up And Away In No Time

We wanted a shed big enough to fit our caravan and all our gear in. We shopped around not just based on price, but on quality and ease of setting up.

Others were complicated to erect, having to cast in bolts to the concrete, but you guys designed it in a way easy the way that was so simple we were up and away in no time.”

I Wish I Could Fit Another Beside It!

I already had a boat that needed an extra high clearance, and I’d just bought a new Landcruiser as well, so I needed a shed big enough to house it all.

A Truly Purpose-Built Shed

We got quotes from other places, but we chose Designer Sheds in the end because only they could give us a truly ‘purpose built’ shed.

We’ve now got a separate boat showroom and workshop with a driveway through the middle, so our customers can drive up in their trailer and load and unload, all while being undercover! Then they can drive right though and away without having to do any reversing.”

I Saw One Of Your Sheds And Just Had To Have One Too

I saw my dream shed with an awning and a spa underneath the guys had built for someone else, and thought that’s exactly what I’m after!

My consultant was really helpful and the whole process from phoning up to the shed being delivered was just smooth. ”

For The Quality and Price, You’d Be Mad Not To Go With Designer Sheds

Even though I live on a big block, I only had a single garage. It wasn’t enough storage, and when we would go on holidays, I didn’t have a secure space to lock up my car. So that’s what started my shed search.

When I first started looking, I started searching locally. I also found Designer Sheds on the Internet and got a quote from you as well. Your quote was phenomenally cheaper that what I could find locally. That surprised me, so I really did my homework to make sure your quality was up to scratch, and it was.

During the design process, I worked with Jason in your team and he was fantastic. He was extremely patient and took on the project as if it was his own. I changed the design a few times and tweaked the size and the features until it was just right. It was really nice for someone to say, “Have you thought of this? Have you thought of that?” so I could get the design exactly right.

Although I usually buy things locally, when I saw the price and the quality you were offering I had to go with you. Now that the shed is built, I can also say the quality is awesome. It’s sturdy. For the quality and price, you’d be mad not to go with Designer Sheds.

A First Class Experience

My experience with your product and service was first class. My garden shed was made exactly to my specifications and I erected it on my own without issue. All the parts were packaged well and in good condition. I can thoroughly recommend Designer Sheds to all in the market.

Fit and finish is of a very high standard

I would certainly say that we are very happy with the two sheds we bought from Designer Sheds. They were both installed by a professional shed builder and both went together extremely easily with no problems experienced with their fit, etc. The fit and finish of the product is of a very high standard.
