Ready to create a genuine backyard retreat that changes how you use your property? This expansive 3.14m x 2.8m SpanBilt YardStore delivers 8.79 square meters - comfortably housing ride-on mowers (requiring 3m x 2.5m minimum), motorcycles, full workshop benches, and all your equipment with room to actually work, not just cram everything in.

Why serious buyers choose the G98: Australians are transforming these large sheds into man caves, home gyms, hobby studios, and dedicated workshop spaces - creating permanent backyard structures that add genuine property value. At 3.14m wide, this is SpanBilt's "Big Daddy" for good reason: it's where storage meets lifestyle transformation.

Investment-grade quality justifies the premium: Unlike budget sheds that rust, leak, or collapse within 3-5 years, this SpanBilt is manufactured to Australian engineering standards with Region A, B & C wind certification (upgradeable to C2 cyclonic). The 15-year warranty isn't marketing - it's backed by 40+ years of SpanBilt's Australian manufacturing reputation. This becomes a permanent structure that lasts decades.

The 3.14M width advantage: Most "large" sheds stop at 2.8m wide - this extra 34cm makes the difference between "tight fit" and "comfortable workspace." Park your ride-on mower on one side, install a full-length workbench on the other, and you've created a functional workshop that doesn't force you to move equipment every time you need to work on a project.

Double doors = lifestyle upgrade: 132cm-wide double hinged doors transform usability - roll motorcycles in/out effortlessly, move ride-on mowers without tight maneuvering, install workbenches during setup, or drive quad bikes straight through. It's the difference between "storage shed" and "functional outdoor room."

Transform it into YOUR vision:

Premium Workshop: Install 3.14m workbench along entire back wall, add pegboard tool organisation, wire power and LED lighting, mount vice and equipment. You've got a proper trade-quality workspace separate from family living areas - protect $5,000-10,000+ in tools while creating dedicated project space.

Backyard Man Cave: Insulate walls and ceiling, add internal lining (plywood/hardboard), install bar fridge, wall-mount TV, comfortable seating, task lighting. Create your personal retreat for hobbies, entertaining mates, or escaping household chaos. Some customers add mini-split AC units for year-round comfort.

Home Gym Conversion: Lay rubber flooring, mount wall mirrors, install pull-up bar, organize weights and cardio equipment. The 8.79 sqm space comfortably fits treadmill, weights, bench, rowing machine, and workout area with proper clearance - no more competing for garage floor space.

Ride-On Mower Headquarters: Standard ride-on mowers (typically 1.8-1.9m long) fit with turning space, fuel storage, maintenance area, spare parts shelving, and hand tool organisation. The double doors make seasonal storage effortless—drive in autumn, drive out spring, no wrestling or scratching.

Multi-Purpose Hub: Zone the space - ride-on mower + fuel one side (2m), workshop bench + tool storage other side (1.14m). Create functional areas without compromising either use. Add shelving vertically to maximize the 2.08m gable peak.

Key Features:

  • Extra-Large 8.79 SQM: 3.14M x 2.8M usable floor space
  • Gable Roof: 2.08M peak for comfortable standing/shelving height
  • Wide Double Doors: 132cm opening for vehicles, equipment, workspace setup
  • Premium SpanBilt Quality: 40+ years Australian manufacturing expertise
  • 15-Year Warranty: Investment-grade coverage for long-term confidence
  • Wind Certified: Region A, B & C (upgradeable to C2 cyclonic)
  • Made-to-Order: Manufactured specifically for you, not warehouse stock
  • Lockable Security: Protect valuable tools, equipment, motorcycles
  • Free Anchor Kit: Permanent concrete mounting included

Investment Perspective - Why This Makes Financial Sense:

Equipment Protection ROI:

  • Protect ride-on mower from weather/theft
  • Safeguard tool collections
  • Prevent motorcycle rust/damage
  • Total protected: $$$ in equipment

Property Value Addition:

  • Permanent structure adds functional sqm to property
  • Quality outbuilding appeals to buyers
  • Workshop/man cave = lifestyle selling point

Lifestyle Value:

  • Dedicated workshop space (priceless for hobbyists/tradespeople)
  • Personal retreat separate from family chaos
  • Home gym saves $500-1,200/year in memberships
  • Intangible benefits exceed initial investment

Interior Enhancements:

  • Shelving systems: Wall-mounted or freestanding ($200-600)
  • Workbenches: Full-length 3.14m benches ($400-1,200)
  • Lighting: LED strips, solar, or wired power ($150-800)
  • Insulation: Ceiling batts for year-round comfort ($300-600)
  • Flooring: Rubber mats, timber, or painted concrete ($200-800)
  • Ventilation: Whirlybirds or louvres ($100-400)

Security Additions:

  • Motion sensor lights: Deter theft ($80-200)
  • Additional padlocks: Heavy-duty security ($40-100)
  • Alarm system: Advanced protection ($200-600)

Council Approval: At 8.79 sqm, this typically doesn't require council approval in most Australian jurisdictions (usually permitted up to 10 sqm). However, ALWAYS verify with your local council before purchasing, especially if planning conversions (man cave, workshop with power) that might need additional permits.

Important: This shed is manufactured once ordered - please allow 2-4 business days for production before dispatch.

Assembly & Foundation Requirements:

Foundation: This substantial structure requires proper preparation-level reinforced concrete slab minimum 100mm thick to Australian standards (minimum 3.3m x 3m). Consider hiring concrete contractor if not DIY-confident. Budget $800-1,500 for professional slab.

Assembly: Allow 8-12 hours with 2-3 people and basic tools (drill/driver, adjustable wrench, spirit level, ladder, safety gear).

Q: Why is this more expensive than big-box store sheds?

A: SpanBilt manufactures to Australian engineering standards with premium steel, 15-year warranty, and Region A/B/C wind certification. Budget sheds use thin-gauge imported steel that rusts within 3-5 years. You're buying once, not replacing every 5 years.

Q: How long does made-to-order take?

A: Please allow 2-4 for SpanBilt to manufacture your shed. Quality takes time - this isn't warehouse stock, it's built specifically for you.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Yes, if you're DIY-confident with 2-3 helpers and basic tools. Most customers complete assembly in 8-10 hours following the provided manual and video. Consider hiring handyman for $300-600 if not comfortable with DIY.

Q: Do I need council approval?

A: Usually not for structures under 10 sqm, but ALWAYS verify with your local council before purchasing. Requirements vary by location and intended use.

Q: Will this fit my ride-on mower?

A: Standard ride-on mowers (typically 70-75 inches / ~1.9M long) fit comfortably with room for turning, fuel storage, and maintenance area. Measure your specific mower - most standard residential models fit easily.

Q: What foundation should l use?

A: Foundation Options:

  • Concrete slab: Permanent, level, ideal ($800-1,500 professional)
  • Timber deck: Elevated, allows under-shed storage ($1,200-2,000)
  • Compacted gravel + pavers: Budget option (not recommended for workshops)
