Hi Guys
Been getting a few quotes for a 4x3.5m shed/mini workshop for the backyard and its doing my head in!!
Can anyone recommend a company that they have used? Still undecided if we will go supply only or get the kit and do the rest ourselves.
Cheers
Steve

I built from scratch! Patio
I built from scratch! Patio tube frame and used roofing sheets to clad... had someone install the roller doors.. my shed is approximately 3.4 x 3.7 ish and 2.6 high... just the shed no doors cost me around 2.5k I think to build... I did put a post up on here once I had completed it. Have a search shouldn't be to hard to find. End of the day it's a box with a door, easy to build and mine is over kill strength wise haha
not sure where you are but your welcome to have a look to see how I built mine if you wanted, I'm in Mandurah.

I bought a kit shed from
I bought a kit shed from cheapsheds.com.au. 7.5x4.5m. Think it was less than 2 grand for the kit. Took 2 days to put it together with 2 blokes and a few cartons. Fairly lightly built but I reinforced it and sealed it better. Come in much cheaper than the 10 grand I was quoted to supply and install.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

So from a few quotes I’m looking in the low $4k for a shed kit (2.1m wide roller door and a small window) and around low $7k for fully installed. Which is roughly $1400 for concrete and 1200 for installation

If you can read a nursery rime book you can build a shed
They are dead easy to build and the instructions are very good, as I have said if you can read a nursery rime book you can follow the instructions to build a shed.
A mate and a BBQ and a couple of beers after completion makes for a good day with a friend.

Steve take the fellas advice
Steve take the fellas advice above, buy patio tube and fixings and whip it up yourself.....
Even if you do fuck it up once the iron is on it'll look like a beaut....
I'm suprised they dont build boats out of patio tube.......

a good eye and spirit level , common sense and think it through ...
back in the day at high school we all did a''home handyman course '' learnt alot of basic skills , like bricklaying , plumbing , welding , tiling , carpentry etc ... no idea of they still offer this type of course for years 10-11 ?
gave me enough confidence to tackle many jobs that have saved us $ over the years including bores and retic etc ..
