“Build it Yourself—Build it Right with Shed in a Box!”
If you want to build your own shed with steel or roofing you already have, you can either ignore the council bylaws or find a place to obtain the engineering and certification needed for approval.
At the ShedBlog, we often hear about the high costs people encounter when trying to engineer their own steel sheds. Are you building your own shed or carport? Do you have most of the materials already? Do you have a trade account or know someone who can get your steel at a discounted price?
What’s in the box..? …That’s up to you.
Box 1: Shed Drawings. $65.00 deposit.
Box 2: Shed Drawings, Engineering, Bill of Materials, Slab detail, Purlin Punching. Starting from $990 less the $65.00 deposit

“Build it Yourself—Build it Right with Shed in a Box!”
Avoid the risk of an illegal shed. We can assist with engineering drawings, construction drawings, and even a bill of materials. If you include your own site plan, you should be set to have it approved as either a complying development or after addressing a development approval.
Add Shed, Carport or Mezzanine Drawings to your shopping cart. Complete your checkout, fill out the shed design criteria and in a few days, you’ll receive engineering drawings and a list of materials you require, along with a quote for the supply of all the brackets (apex, knee, eave, and mullion connections, etc.) and fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws, anchors).
