Some sheds store the mower.
Others give you somewhere to spend a Saturday.
We build the second kind.
The boat, the classic, the workshop you've been promising yourself. Lifestyle sheds are about making room for the things you actually enjoy.
Multi-bay garaging, home workshops, barn styles and storage that suits the property rather than fighting it. Cladding and roofline can be chosen to sit well next to the house.
We build the whole thing, or hand it over at whatever stage suits you.
Somewhere to put it. Somewhere to be.
Storage, workshop space and somewhere to get stuck into a project — sized around what you actually own.
Single through to multi-bay, with height for a boat, a caravan or a hoist.
Bench space, light and power planned in from the start.
Rooflines and cladding chosen to sit properly alongside the house.
Covered space for the trailer, the firewood and everything else.

Vehicle storage and workshop space with a storage mezzanine overhead and a club room off to the side. The 3.8m stud gives headroom for a hoist and the mezzanine keeps the floor clear.
Timber poles with steel rafters give a clear span with no internal posts, and the roof height takes a vehicle hoist. Concrete slab floor, coloured steel cladding and roof, with a roller door 3.0m high by 4.8m wide.
Matata
An architectural-look shed in tongue and groove cedar, built to match the house rather than sit apart from it. Triple garage entry with open areas for indoor-outdoor flow, ranch sliders, windows and a mono pitch roof.

Coloured steel with three roller doors and a 1200mm eave overhang. A daylighting solution was added through the roof, so the floor stays usable through the day without the lights on.
Four roller doors and two personal access doors across the face, on a concrete floor with coloured steel cladding. Every bay opens independently, so you're not shuffling gear to get at what's behind.
Tamahere, Hamilton
A lifestyle property shed sized around a caravan. A sectional door was chosen over a standard roller so the shed reads as part of the house rather than a farm building parked beside it.
Whakamaru
Open free-flowing space on one side, closed and private on the other. A double concrete floor poured at two different heights lets the one shed handle several jobs without compromise.
Pick your size, roof style, doors and cladding, and watch it come together in 3D as you go. When you're happy, send the design straight to our team and we'll price it up.
Opens in a new tab, so you've got room to swing the hammer.
Can't see your question? Give the team a call — it's a quicker answer than a form.
It depends on the size, the height and how close it sits to a boundary, and your district plan may have rules of its own about where a building can go on the property. We'll tell you early whether consent is needed, and we can manage that process for you if it is.
Yes, and it's worth doing. Cladding, roof pitch, colour and door style can all be chosen so the shed sits alongside the house rather than looking bolted on — cedar, plywood and batten, coloured steel, a mono pitch or a gable. On one build we swapped a standard roller for a sectional door purely so it suited the house. Bring us a photo of the house and we'll work from that.
Lean-tos and extra bays are among the most common things people come back for. Tell us at design stage if it's likely, even if it's years away, and we'll allow for it in the framing and the roofline so the addition goes on cleanly instead of looking like an afterthought.
It comes down to size, height, how many doors you want, the cladding you choose and whether there's a concrete floor — and whether we build it or supply it as a kitset for you to put up. Taking labour out is where the savings are. Give us rough dimensions and what's going inside and we'll put a real number in front of you.
Give us the site, the use and roughly the size. We'll work out what it takes from there.
