From Planning to Perfection: Custom-Built Sheds That Suit Every Melbourne Property
Why Melbourne Chooses Custom-Made Sheds
If you’re looking to build a shed that matches your lifestyle, location, and budget, Melbourne Garages is your go-to shed company. We specialise in custom-made sheds, whether it’s a small garden shed, a full shed kit, or a large-scale garage shed.
Our team delivers full-service shed construction, custom shed designs, and DIY options. Every custom shed is built to last and meet local regulations, from overlays to wind ratings.
Shed Types and Features to Consider
Choosing the right shed design starts with knowing what your space and goals require. Here are the most popular options:
- Garden Sheds: Ideal for tools, bins, and seasonal gear
- Storage Sheds: Secure space for trailers or equipment
- Workshop Sheds: Add power, benches, or skylights
- Garage Sheds: Park cars or create a home gym
- Shed Kits: A DIY-friendly way to build quickly and affordably
Each design is available in a shed roof style that suits your build: skillion, gable, or Dutch gable.
Shed Roof & Cladding Options
Melbourne Garages offers:
- Durable Colorbond® or Zincalume® steel cladding
- Roof choices: skillion, gable, and Dutch gable
- Optional upgrades like roller doors, insulation, and skylights
Our sheds are engineered using Bluescope Steel, built to handle the harsh Australian climate and strict Australian standards.
