Happy New Year 2025

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our wonderful customers and your families.
Manufacturing is expected to recommence for most suppliers from the 8th, with most back from the 12th January 2025. We are accepting orders and are queueing them with suppliers, so we recommend placing your orders via our online store at any time, 24/7. The best way to contact us during the Christmas season is by email to admin@shedblog.com.au
Thank you, take care, stay safe.

Update OCT 2025
FREIGHT PRICE INCREASES continue INDUSTRY WIDE.

At the Shedblog, we work very hard to deliver the Shed Products you want. Over the past three years, we have experienced unprecedented price pressures on freight costs. It’s impossible for us to absorb these rises and still deliver the products to you at home or the work site. If the product price with freight is too much, we suggest considering picking up or arranging your own carrier if that’s an option for the particular product/products you require. In most cases, the product and freight we quote you are very competitive. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Unprecedented demand for building materials has been affecting lead times on some products, and transport logistics are still having problems. You may sometimes experience freight delays, especially with manually handled products.

Our website has a great deal of information on it, and the answer to your question regarding sheds, carports and garages may already exist.

All prehung Larnec doors come with the appropriate quality Carbine lockset box with the door prepped for its fitting. Standard sets are SS9000, SS9000, and PA4000-6000, with screen door systems using SS6000.

The Sentry 200 doors are semi-solid foam cores and the 100 series are solid timber cores as such they are insulated to the properties these provide.

Once you have checked out you would need to create a new cart. If you have not finalised your order yet you may be able to add more items if they are from the same manufacturer otherwise you may be prompted to split the cart into separate orders anyway.

We have a dozen different suppliers and manufacturers that make up the great offerings from the ShedBlog. They will ship to you from different locations around Australia. The online shopping system on the website cannot separate shipping so when it has products from different suppliers it will ask you to separate your cart (make several transactions) This, in total, will not cost you more but please, if you have any concerns, reach out to admin@shedblog.com.au with an email and let us know.

Please return DAMAGED windows with the same Courier/On-forwarder to allow replacements to be dispatched. Contact the ShedBlog on the same day to report such damage.

Please be aware that not all locations are serviced for deliveries “to the door” and that you may be required to collect your order from a local freight depot that is used by the couriers that a particular manufacturer engages to deliver their goods. PLEASE try to supply an address that is attended business hours. If no one is home, the delivery may not take place. It’s a good idea to supply your work address or a local business that can accept the goods for you if you won’t be home. With Vermin & Ember seals you can tick a box giving us the authority to leave the goods…at your risk. NO P.O. BOXES PLEASE except for Corro Mount Plates.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of shed product materials, designs, colours, and sizes which in most cases are customized for you, there are no options for the return of your purchases under buyers remorse, change of mind, purchasing too much or the incorrect ordering of size, colours, shapes or texture.


Orders placed are based on electronic requests via our website’s shopping cart, or over the telephone. They are invoiced and order confirmations are sent. All invoices and order confirmation emails and any other communication from us to you should be checked by you for accuracy ASAP as they reflect what you have ordered, and what will be supplied.
