Shed City has a Standard Colour range and an Extended Colour range.
Many of the third party kits supplied have available in a certain colour range.
Contact us if the colour you want is not listed in the combinations on our website store.
Zinc coated steel is a steel strip base with a coating of 45% Zinc and 55% Aluminum. This coating makes the steel more resistant to corrosion.
Coated Steel (painted) is pre-painted steel available in a range of colours. It consists of a primed steel base, usually zinc, then coated with paint and finished in the colour chosen on the outer face and coated with paint usually light (shadow) grey finish to the inner face.
Note that it is common in Australian to refer to these products as Zincalume and ColorBond – but these refer specifically to trade names that are registered to Bluescope Steel, whether painted / prepared, by Bluescope, in Australia or in one of their many facilities throughout the World.
Australian Standard compliant products with zinc or painted coatings are available from other suppliers and it is this compliance and the manufacture process that is important.
The thickness of steel coated products may be measured as BMT (Base Metal Thickness), which is entirely structural material. Some suppliers give measurements as TCT (Total Coated Thickness), which includes paint coatings and therefore the same material specification TCT will be larger than BMT.
For example: a BMT of 0.42 means the base metal thickness is 0.42 and a TCT of 0.47 usually means the base metal thickness of .42 and then paint coatings of .05 giving the total coated thickness of 0.47, therefore describing the same thickness of base steel.
Many competitors use BMT of 0.35 on the roof and walls, whilst others supply BMT of 0.42 on the roof and then 0.35 on the walls.
Shed City rollform our own profile sheeting and supply 0.42 BMT for our Roof sheeting and Wall cladding, providing a stronger better quality product.
When comparing our Shed City products with competitors make sure that you are comparing “apples” with “apples”.
No. Concrete slabs do not contribute to the structural integrity of our Shed City products. Whilst many of our opposition insist on a concrete floor to strengthen their product, Shed City products have been designed around our unique stump system, similar to commercial buildings, whereby stumps are embedded into a concrete footing making a concrete floor unnecessary. You can then choose to have gravel, dirt, pavers, timber or any other type of flooring, alternatively you can lay the concrete slab later.
Shed City products do require anchoring as do the third party supplied outbuilding kits we offer.
The majority of the larger Garden Sheds, Carports, Garages and Farm/Machinery Sheds need footings or have a stump/post that is embedded into a footing in order to comply with the structural engineering requirements for the product. Generally though a concrete floor is not necessary and you then have a choice of economical or other flooring. Remember these are buildings and as such need appropriate anchoring.
Some of the third party products have alternate ways of anchoring or are supplied with floors that the product is anchored down to.
Please check out our website or contact us to discuss your requirements.
The majority of the larger Garden Sheds, Carports, Garages and Farm/Machinery Sheds need footings or have a stump/post that is embedded into a footing in order to comply with the structural engineering requirements for the product. Generally the concrete will be required to be cut and the appropriate footing prepared and inspected. Remember these are buildings and as such need appropriate anchoring.
Some light weight and some of the third party products have alternate ways of anchoring or are supplied with floors that the product is anchored down to so your existing slab may be ok. It is best to check with the relevant qualified person.
Existing concrete slabs vary in their integrity generally the best alternative is to cut the concrete or buy a slightly larger product that goes over the top of the slab and can be anchored in outside the edges with appropriate footings.

Our friendly staff at Shed City can usually assist you with the requirements you need to take into consideration and the questions you need to ask your local authority.
