Spring is here and the people of Melbourne are buying garden sheds on mass. Our second largest city has come to life as the weather warms up, the people are venturing into their backyards. With the footy season behind us for another year, its time to hit the backyard, get the tools out and start getting the garden looking good for the warmer season.

Garden sheds are extremely popular in Melbourne, particularly the smaller variety of sheds. The average backyard space is not quite as large as say Sydney so the YardSaver range and some of the smaller EasySHEDS are more preferred.

One good reason for Melbourne dwellers to buy sheds online from Sheds n Stuff is the good coverage of depots. Depot delivery to any of our locations is totally free, all you will need is a ute or a trailer to pick it up. Our Melbourne depot is at Clayton but we also have locations at Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and Taralgon.

 So, if you are looking for a garden shed in Melbourne, look no further than Sheds n Stuff, we have a huge range at Australia’s best prices and free delivery to a depot near you.

Sheds n Stuff has just released a brand new range of lawn mowers for sale via our website. Like most products, traditionally we would go down to the local lawn care store and purchase our Victor or Honda lawn mower but things have changed. Like most products we buy online, the driving factors are price and convenience. Once we know what we want, online is the logical place to go and the savings benefits are well worth it.

Briggs & Stratton are a trusted name in the lawn mower business, they make some of the finest engines in the business. Sheds n Stuff has two mowers powered by this famous manufacturer on our site. The first is a 21″ ‘self propelled’ model, the self propelled part means that the mower actually is propelled forward making your job much easier. The 6.5 horse power motor is more than capable of getting through the toughest of lawns, it would even handle your grandmothers armpits. At just $520, you will not buy a more feature packed lawn mower and you can check out all the features here. For an additional $60, we will even ship it directly to your front door.

If you are looking to save a few bucks, Sheds n Stuff has got you covered as well. For just $399 we have a 21″ self propelled model that doesn’t come with a Briggs & Stratton but let me tell you, it still does a ripper of a job. You can’t go wrong with our 12 month warranty and like the other model, $60 gets it to your door pronto! You can check that one out here as well.

We also have a slasher mower and, we are in the process of introducing a range of blowers, edgers, hedge trimmers and other tools you may find around your garden or shed.

Finally a manufacturer has released a range of small storage sheds for the backyard, garage or indoors. The Stormate range from Spanbilt is a breath of fresh air for those who don’t want a full blown garden shed or don’t have the space to fit one in. There are 8 in the range with widths that vary from 1.4m through to 1.76m. 

Small storage sheds are great for so many uses, from storing bikes and toys to sporting goods or even wheelie bins. One of the most popular uses for small storage sheds is for covering pool pumps. The unique front and top access has proven to be a huge bonus, making it very easy for people to access the contents.

The sheds a lockable, come in a choice of 4 colours and are made from quality coated steel. The Spanbilt Storemate range ship Australia wide and with depots all over Australia, you can also take advantage of the Sheds n Stuff free delivery option.

A few years back, garden shed manufacturers sold their product via bricks and mortar retailers. It worked well for them, people could see the product (or pictures of) and the large chains sold quite a bit of product. Then along came the internet. Consumers became more savvy when it came to their purchases in general and pressure came on the garden shed manufacturers to sell their products online.

The problem was, they would cannibalise their retailers if, all of a sudden, they started offering their sheds directly to the public. Along came a smart young entrepreneur who was able to persuade the manufacturers to sell their sheds online via his website. He was able to offer them at way better prices than the traditional retailers and pretty soon, people were buying more sheds online than in the retail stores. The rest, as they say is history. From backyard garden sheds to garages and carports, online retailers are a much better option for consumers.

Today, consumers are enjoying the benefits of buying their sheds online in many ways. Price is the most obvious, you can pay literally hundreds of dollars less (depending on the shed size) than what you will pay in say a Bunnings or a Mitre 10 store. The next is service, sites like Sheds n Stuff are experts in sheds. The retail boys sell literally thousands on lines and can’t possibly have the same in depth knowledge as the specialists. Delivery time is not problem these days either, it matters not if you order online or in a store, the shed will still need to be ordered and will be delivered via the same transport company.

So it doesn’t matter if you are looking to purchase a flat roof shed, a gable roof shed, a truss roof garden shed or even a garage or carport, online will always give you the best deal.

People need to respect the institution of the backyard garden shed. Some things should never be done in your shed, here are some of them;

1. Do not use your shed as a hydroponics ‘garden’ - setting up banks of lights and shipping in dubious plants is a big no no. Eventually the wind will blow in the wrong direction, the bloke next door will get a waft and next thing the DEA is on your doorstep. The $12,000 quarterly power bill could alert suspicion as well.
2. Do not duck a stray women into your shed for fraternization purposes - big mistake for young players. Steel garden sheds echo, especially when they are empty. The misses tends to have big ears when it comes to these matters and no sense of humour. If you must, at least fill your garden shed with tools to absorb any emanating noises.
3. Do not hide girly mags in your shed - another trap for young players. When the kids are playing hide and seek, nothing surer than one of them moving the paint can stand out and Miss September scars your 8 year old for life. Just on Miss September, are they for real? (must be some scaffolding holding those puppies up)
4. Do not hide in your shed and use high powered binoculars to perve on a half naked Mrs Robinson next door - I did this once so I speak from experience. Whilst looking out my 5 blade bonus window, the sun caught my high powered Zeiss lens and flashed straight into her eyes. Who skinny dips in the spa in broad daylight anyway?
5. Do not lock the dog in your shed at night - a barking dog in a garden shed is a dog that could get baited in upcoming days. I’m told a condition called dehydration could also have an adverse effect on your animals health. Don’t do it.
6. Do not lock the misses in the shed, even as a joke - women do not appreciate being locked in a confined space. This is a very good way to increase your chances of becoming acquainted with your sleeping bag and calling your shed home for a few days.
7. Do not sneak into your shed to listen to Race 3 at Rosehill – if you are having a sneaky bet from your cunning kick and have your last on the fav, the cheering will alert attention. The kids will tell the misses and next thing you are feigning looking for some nondescript tool nobody has seen for years. Way better off jumping into the car and pretending you are cleaning the inside.
8. Do not set up a meth lab in your shed - take special note if you come from Sydney’s western suburbs. Even with numerous windows in your garden shed, ventilation will be an issue. You are far better off sticking with deserted safe house. Your misses may also get tipped off when your new friends call you ‘bro’, a term not previously heard in your home.

We hope that you find these tips useful and that you enjoy your shed without making any of these common mistakes.

This week we road tested a Durabuilt branded gable roof shed, one of the most popular in their range.

The gable roof shed is one of the sturdiest in the Durabuilt range. Named after its gable shaped roof, this model offers significantly more headroom than its flat and skillion roof cousins. It has surprising clearance inside and depending on the size, certainly more than enough room to swing a cat.

The first thing to decide is what type of door you would like. The standard model comes with a single hinged door that opens outwards. You can also choose a double door on models 2.25m wide and larger or, the convenient sliding door on the 3m edition. There is also an option for a T-Shaped lockable handle that is a great way to keep the kids out.

We liked the option of a fiberglass skylight that made a big difference to the amount of natural light. You could also choose to include of a 5-blade window.  It that not only lets the light stream through, it provides much needed ventilation on the warmer days.

Another feature we liked about this garden shed was how tough it is. Like the whole Durabuilt range, it’s made from BlueScope steel so you know it’s good. It’s .35mm in thickness so if you decide to punch it, you are sure to come off second best. Retailers such as

Bunnings have at different times imported Chinese made garden sheds in order to stay price competitive with the online boys. The problem is, most of the Chinese imports are made from steel .25 in thickness and are inferior to the Australian made product. Buying a garden shed from Bunnings is going to cost you more than from an online retailer but it’s not a bad place to see what you might like. Their range is also extremely limited so be prepared to see just a few models.

Colour is another choice you will have to make. Durabuilt offers 25 different options, everything from the standard zincalume right through to Ebony, which is effectively black.

That leaves us with delivery, an important consideration when purchasing a shed. If you have a trailer, Ute or suitable flat bed truck, getting your shed delivered to a local depot is the way to go. This option will cost you absolutely nothing, and there are depots all over Australia. If you prefer delivery to your door, $99 will get it there if you live within 50 kilometers of a capital city. For anyone outside the 50 radius, home delivery can be arranged for around $120 depending on where you are located.

Ok so now you have your shed sitting in the backyard. Only trouble is, its in two boxes. No problem, you can grab a mate, follow the 5 step instructions and if you get stuck, refer to the assembly videos on the Sheds n Stuff website. If you are not that way inclined, a local handyman can get the job done in a few hours, costing you no more than a few hundred bucks.

Durabuilt offer a range of accessories such as shelving and tool hanging racks that can help to keep things tidy in your new garden shed. These are great for keeping your paint tins up off the ground or you favorite blower away from the teeth of your new Labrador.

All things considered, this is a real good value garden shed for the backyard, well made and easy to put together.

Duramax is an American company that has been a major supplier to the US market for a very long time. They make an excellent quality vinyl shed that is quite different to your standard steel version we are all used to.  I’m pleased to report that they have just arrived on our shores and make a welcome addition to our range of backyard sheds.

The first thing that you will notice about the product is the impressive exterior finish. All of their range of sheds comes in a colour called ivory which is a version cream. It’s a neutral colour that would go well in almost every backyard.

Another cracking feature of these sheds are the optional foundation kit. The kit slightly elevates the shed and keeps everything nice and tight. Putting these together is no harder than a steel shed, the instructions are comprehensive and when followed it’s a breeze.

Perhaps the best feature of the Duramax vinyl storage shed range is that they are virtually maintenance free. You will never need to repaint either as the all weather vinyl lasts longer than a painful mother-in-law.

Here is something you may find useful, especially if space is an issue. Duramax make several models that are made for areas where you need something you can’t find in a normal garden shed. Check out the 2.3m x 1.2m Sidemate model that goes nicely up against a wall.  The door on this model is actually on the 1.2m end of the storage shed, very handy if you have a tight space.

The flagship of the range is the 3.2m x 2.4m version, you could fair dinkum have a party inside this baby. Its not a cheap shed, retailing at just over $1300 but it’s a serious addition to your home. With 13.3 cubic meters of space inside, it will hold every tool and gadget known to man.

A 15-year warranty will ensure you have many years of trouble free use from your vinyl shed, I can’t recommend this product more highly.

This is not a post to bash up a great company like Bunnings, far from it they are a great company. I’ve bought so much stuff from Bunnings over the years it isn’t funny. But would I buy a garden shed from Bunnings? No chance.

Today I headed to one of the largest Bunnings stores in the country, I won’t name them but I want to say firstly that the staff were all really nice people. I looked around for their sheds and was directed outdoors to see a bunch in weather beaten boxes. On the way out I notices 3 erected and up high, way too high to look at.

I asked a few questions of the staff member, he clearly had never been briefed on the garden shed range at Bunnings. He sent me off to the special orders desk where I was assured, they knew all about their range.

Upon arriving, I was handed a number of brochures from various manufacturers. I asked questions about the different garden sheds in the brochures and was told they don’t know anything about the products. Even when I asked for a price list, I was told to pick one out and on Monday (I was there in a Saturday) they would call up and find out for me. Given Bunnings set the prices on all of the products within their store, I’m not sure what the manufacturers were going to tell me.

The moral to this story is that when it comes to garden sheds, you are far better off consulting an expert. It’s not a small purchase and you really don’t want to get stuck with the wrong product. There are many things to consider, price being an important factor. On almost all occasions, online sites will be able to sell you garden sheds at prices far cheaper than a bricks and mortar retailer.

In fairness, the staff at Bunnings can’t be expected to know everything about all of the products they stock. On a big-ticket item like a garden shed though, you really do need the right advice and the right price.
