3x3M Garden Shed - Steel Outdoor Storage with Lockable Doors

Do I need council approval or a permit for this shed?

In most Australian council areas, a 3x3 metre shed doesn't require approval as it falls under the 10 square metre exemption limit. However, rules vary by location and your property's zoning. We recommend checking with your local council before purchasing. Most families find sheds this size are permit-free, making installation quick and hassle-free.

How long does it take to assemble?

Most people complete assembly in 6-8 hours with two people working together. The shed comes with a detailed instruction manual, and all panels are clearly labeled. You'll need basic tools like a drill, screwdriver, and spanner. Take your time with the base - getting it level makes everything else easier.

Will this shed rust or corrode over time?

No. The shed is made from galvanized steel which is specifically treated to resist rust and corrosion. The zinc coating protects the metal from Australian weather conditions including rain, humidity, and coastal salt air. It's designed to last for years without maintenance or repainting. We have specific guides as well if required to take care of your shed.

Is the shed waterproof?

Yes. The sloped roof design ensures water runs off naturally, and the overlapping panel construction keeps rain out. The shed is weatherproof and will protect your belongings from rain, sun, and wind. Just ensure it's assembled on level ground with proper drainage around the base.

Can I secure my tools and equipment inside?

Absolutely. The shed comes with a lockable door system, so you can add your own padlock to keep tools, bikes, lawn equipment, and other valuables secure. The sturdy double sliding doors and steel construction provide solid protection.

What can I actually fit inside a 3x3 metre shed?

You'll have approximately 9 square metres (or about 8.5 square metres of usable floor space). This comfortably fits:

• Ride-on mower or push mower plus garden tools
• Multiple bikes and outdoor sports equipment
• Outdoor furniture during winter months
• Workbench along one wall with storage shelves
• Wheelbarrows, ladders, and power tools

The 2.1 metre height means you can walk inside comfortably and add overhead storage if needed.

Does it come with a floor?

No, the shed doesn't include a floor. Most customers install it on a concrete slab, paving, or treated timber base. A solid, level foundation is essential for stability and longevity. Some people use the shed directly on compacted gravel, though we recommend a more permanent base for best results.

What's included in the package?

You receive:

• All steel panels and frame components
• Roof panels with sloped design
• Double sliding door system with lock mechanism
• 4 ventilation vents
• All necessary fixings and hardware
• Detailed assembly manual
• 1 year manufacturer warranty

The shed ships in 3 separate packages for easier handling and delivery.

How quickly will my shed arrive?

We offer FREE shipping on all orders over $50 (and you're well covered!). Delivery times vary by location, but most orders arrive within 5-10 business days to metro areas. We'll send you tracking information as soon as your shed is dispatched. Regional areas may take slightly longer.

What if the shed arrives damaged or I'm not happy with it?

We offer a 30-day returns policy. If your shed arrives damaged, or you're not completely satisfied, contact us immediately. Our customer service goes straight to a real person - no overseas call centers. We're a family-run business and we stand behind every product we sell.

Is this shed strong enough for Australian weather?

Yes. The 0.6mm zinc steel frame provides solid structural strength, and the galvanized steel panels are built for Australian conditions. The shed handles strong winds, heavy rain, and intense UV exposure. The four ventilation vents prevent condensation buildup during temperature changes, which helps protect your stored items.

Can I anchor it to the ground?

Yes, and we highly recommend it, especially in windy areas. The shed should be bolted down to your concrete slab, paving, or timber base using appropriate anchors (not included). This provides stability and prevents movement during storms.

What tools do I need for assembly?

You'll need:

• Electric or cordless drill
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Adjustable spanner or socket set
• Spirit level (essential for getting it square)
• Tape measure
• Safety gloves and glasses
• A helping hand - two people makes assembly much easier

Do you offer installation services?

We don't provide installation directly, but many customers hire a local handyman or use services like Airtasker to help with assembly. The instruction manual is straightforward, and most people with basic DIY skills can complete it themselves over a weekend.
