2.38m x 1.31m Steel Garden Shed with Base Frame | Weatherproof Storage

Complete Shed Kit with Steel Base Frame – Superior Foundation System Included

This complete storage solution includes both shed and integrated steel base frame. The base system raises your shed off ground level for better ventilation and longevity while providing a rigid perimeter that makes assembly easier and keeps your shed square for years.

Understanding the Steel Base Frame Advantage

Many sheds require you to build a separate timber frame before installation. This kit includes a more durable steel base frame that:

✓ Raises shed floor 10cm off ground – improves drainage, reduces ground moisture contact
✓ Provides rigid perimeter structure – shed stays square, doors align properly long-term
✓ Simplifies assembly process – panels attach to stable raised frame
✓ Outlasts timber alternatives – won't rot, warp, or require replacement
✓ Improves ventilation – air circulates under shed floor, preventing moisture buildup

Important Foundation Requirements

The steel base frame must be placed on a solid, level surface. It improves your shed but does not replace foundation requirements.

Suitable foundations:

• Concrete slab – Most durable and stable (recommended for longevity)
• Paver base – Compacted sand base with level pavers arranged edge-to-edge
• Existing concrete/paving – If already level and in good condition

Why the base matters: Improper foundation causes sheds to settle unevenly, resulting in twisted frames, misaligned doors, and premature failure. The steel base provides excellent structure, but it needs solid ground underneath.

What Foundation Costs (For Planning):

• DIY paver base: $150-300 (materials + weekend work)
• Professional concrete slab (3m²): $400-800
• Steel base frame: Included with this shed (saves $100-150 vs buying separately)

Smart Size for Australian Backyards

At 2.38m x 1.31m with 1.82m height, this fits side yards and compact gardens while providing 3 square meters of usable storage. The raised base design means you're not losing valuable interior height to ground-level installation.

Weatherproof Galvanised Steel Construction

Built from galvanised steel (0.25mm color panels, 0.6mm zinc-coated frame) that resists rust, UV damage, and corrosion through Australian weather extremes. Grey powder-coat finish suits modern homes and maintains professional appearance through years of coastal, tropical, or inland conditions.

Superior Ventilation Prevents Moisture Damage

Four large ventilation vents (23cm x 10cm each) create constant airflow throughout the shed. Combined with the raised base design, this ventilation system prevents:

• Condensation buildup on walls and roof
• Mould and mildew growth
• Musty odours from trapped moisture
• Rust on stored metal tools and equipment
• Deterioration of stored items

Proper ventilation is critical in humid Australian climates – this shed delivers.

Lockable Double Door Security

Wide double doors (72cm opening, 154cm height) provide comfortable access for loading equipment without awkward maneuvering. Integrated locking mechanism with two keys included protects tools, chemicals, garden equipment, and valuable items from weather and theft.
