Versatility of QLD Shade Sheds & Portable Shade Structures

The hot Australian sun requires thoughtful storage of cars, boats and farm equipment, just to name a few. If you’re looking for a smart storage solution on your property, then portable shade shelters from QLD Shade Sheds offer year-round weather protection with a sleek steel finish. Let’s take a closer look at the versatility of our custom shade sheds and some of the most popular applications that may meet your needs.

Cars & Trucks

High-strength steel sheds provide ample protection against both harsh sunshine and heavy rain, wind and hail. At QLD Shade Sheds, our car shelter sheds feature a simple, open-ended design for easy drive-through access and aesthetic appeal. Whether you have a small sedan or a 4WD, you can enjoy enhanced storage with half or fully-enclosed side walls on a robust shade shed.

Boats & Trailers

If you need a versatile shed big rough for a boat and trailer, our portable shade structures are a great option offering reliable protection from the elements. Choose from 3m to 12m wide designs, which can be built to any length to accommodate your vessel. Our team has 30+ years of combined experience in steel works and fabrication, and we will ensure your new shade shed suits your requirements.

Caravans & Motor Homes

The flexibility of high-quality shade sheds makes them a worthwhile investment for Aussie families with caravans and motor homes, too. If you want to park your travel trailer or vehicle at home but need extra protection, our shelters feature a galvanised steel frame for optimal performance. Simple, stress-free installation is an added bonus.

Farming & Machinery

One other way to use shade sheds is to protect tractors, farm equipment and industrial machinery from potentially damaging weather conditions. QLD Shade Sheds designs each custom shelter to withstand climate extremes in Australian wind regions A, B and C. If you need a pump or feed shelter, you can make the most of our engineer-certified outdoor storage solutions.

Gutter Kits for Car Shelter and Shade Sheds Across QLD

QLD Shade Sheds provides customers with high-front, lightweight gutter kits as an optional extra for all our shade shades. If you are an individual who has built a shade shed on clay-rich soil, an uphill slope or uneven ground, gutter kits could be the best way to divert water away from your foundation and protect your transportable sheds. In this blog, we discuss the many benefits of our Australian manufactured gutter kits which can be colour matched to blend in with your portable shade sheds.

When Are Gutters Necessary?

Although gutters are not always necessary for your car shelter or transportable sheds, there are certain situations where gutters can be extremely beneficial.

  • If your property is at the bottom of an upward slope, there is a possibility that flowing rainwater can pool around the foundation of your shade shed.
  • Clay-rich soils tend to absorb and retain large volumes of water. A shed that is built on clay soil can end up with water accumulating directly below the foundation. A gutter system can be set up to divert excess rainwater away from the foundation and into a ground-based water line.
  • Sheds with minimal overhang are not effective at keeping water away from the structure. A gutter kit is designed to easily fit on any QLD Shade Shed roof and efficiently prevent water from affecting the structure of the shed.

The Benefits of Gutter Kits For Portable Shade Sheds 

At QLD Shade Sheds, we believe that a high-quality gutter kit is the best way to protect your transportable sheds. Our guttering is made using stable, durable materials and can be used to collect rainwater and prevent water from pooling near your shed. Each gutter kit is designed to easily fit the gable end of the sheds and the high front design affords better protection than traditional gutters.

Our kits are made from hi-tensile steel for long lasting protection even against storms and suit any type of home.

Lightweight, Easy to Install Gutter Kits in Queensland

If you are looking for a cost-effective way to protect the foundation and structure of your shade sheds, consider QLD Shade Sheds’ lightweight, easy to install gutter kits that divert water and prevent it from pooling around your shed. Contact us today for information on shed pricing and standard shed sizes.

Why We Love Colorbond® at QLD Shade Sheds in Australia

Colorbond® are steel roofing panels that are crafted from Bluescope steel. QLD Shade Sheds’ all weather shelters include one Colorbond® sheet on the side walls, as standard. In your choice of colour, each of our shelters can be modified to include half or fully enclosed side walls using Colorbond® sheets. Read on to find out why QLD Shade Sheds highly recommends Colorbond® for shade shelters.

Flexibility 

Colorbond® roof sheets can be used across a number of different structures. The sheer variety of colours and styles available makes this an ideal material with which to transform the facade of your structure while protecting it from harsh weather.

Designed For Australia 

Colorbond® is an Australian owned company that manufactures products with the country’s extreme weather conditions in mind. Although Colorbond® is a lightweight material, it is a durable, easy to maintain option and capable of withstanding harsh sun and extreme winds.

Experienced professionals regard Colorbond® as one of the strongest, most advanced building materials available today. For over 50 years, this material has been put to the test in some of Australia’s harshest climates.

Wide Variety of Colours 

Colorbond® is available in 22 attractive colours that you match to suit the aesthetic of your shade shed. Unlike most metal roofs, Colorbond® is more than a functional roof as it can be used to transform the aesthetics of a space.

Lightweight Roofing Solution 

Metal roofs and traditional tiles are heavier than Colorbond® and require labour and time. A Colorbond® roof is significantly lighter than traditional roofing options, which are at risk of absorbing water due to rainfall.

Environmentally Friendly

Colorbond® sheeting is made from materials that are 100% recyclable. With in-built Thermatech technology, these roofs are reflective and prevent heat from penetrating the material itself, making them much more energy efficient than other roofing materials used for shade sheds.

Colorbond® Roofing for Portable Car Shelter in Australia

If you are looking for an affordable, all weather roofing solution for paddock shelters for horses or a portable car shelter, look no further than Colorbond®. Contact QLD Shade Sheds today to find out why all our products are made with Colorbond® sheeting for Australian conditions.

Choosing The Right Hold Downs For Your Shade Shed QLD

Hold downs play an important role in securing your structure; whether it be a portable carport kit or a shade shed for caravans. They are components that hold the base rails of a shade shed in place and provide critical support to a shelter. In this blog, QLD Shade Sheds discusses the three main types of hold downs for shade sheds and how they anchor the base rails of the structure.

Saddle and Bolt Set

Although QLD Shade Sheds manufactures shelters that can be installed on almost any kind of ground, if a customer wants to install their shed on a concrete slab, they can do so with saddles and bolts provided by us. The saddles are placed on top of the base rails and bolted to the concrete for stability. Keep in mind that if the concrete slab is less than 125mm thick, you may need additional hold downs.

Concrete Pier Kits

If you do not want to pour a concrete slab just to install a shed, we recommend concrete piers that allow you to cement your footings in place without the need for a foundation. Simply dig the footings to the appropriate depth and width, then locate your pier and cement everything in place.

Ground Anchors

If you are renting or want to ensure your shade shed can be relocated, our concrete free ground anchors are the way to go. . The ground anchor is hammered into the ground with the base rails of the shed and secured with a saddle.

The Benefits of High Quality Shade Sheds 

A high quality shade shed kit should include a variety of hold down options so that you can install and transport your shed anywhere that you want. If you are looking for advice on the type of hold down option you need, contact QLD Shade Sheds today to speak to our friendly team of fabrication experts.

No matter what kind of weather you need protection from, our engineer certified sheds meet the highest Australian standards and include a 10-Year Structural Warranty to protect against severe damage.

Let’s Talk About Sizing For All Weather Shelters in QLD

Are you in need of a shade shed but can’t figure out the right size for your property? Here at QLD Shade Sheds, we take pride in providing customers with the assistance they need to select the right kind of shed for their boat, caravan or machinery.

What To Consider Before Choosing Portable Shade Structures

What Is The Purpose of The Shed? 

Before deciding on the size of your shed, it is important to know what it will be used for. Will it be used for storing machinery and vehicles? Or will it need to protect livestock and horses from extreme weather? At QLD Shade Sheds, we offer customers an extensive range of standard shade shed sizes to choose from. If you have a specific requirement that isn’t included in our size chart, contact our team for assistance with custom shade shed designs. For example, if you are in need of storage, you may require a shed that is slightly larger than your estimate to allow space for people and machines to move freely.

Be sure to consider not only length and width, but the height of the structure as well.

Consider Compliance 

Based on the size of shed you need, you may need to apply for local council approval to avoid fines and penalties. For a 50% deposit on purchase, QLD Shade Sheds provides customers with a signed Engineering Certificate and Form 15 to support the application. The deposit is refundable in the event that application is denied.

Shed Sizing Information 

QLD Shade Sheds offers portable shade structures in three RHS steel sizes:

  • 75mm x 50mm x 1.6mm
  • 100mm x 50mm x 2mm
  • 150mm x 50mm x 2mm

All our products are fully customisable and the height and length of every shed can be adjusted in 100mm increments. Although the height of posts cannot exceed 4m, we have the skill to design transportable shade sheds that suit your exact needs.

Our standard range was created with the commonly found dimensions for boats, trailers and cars.

Transforming Your Farm with Custom QLD Shade Sheds

One of the biggest challenges faced by a farming operation is creating sheltered, weatherproof spaces in a convenient, cost-effective way. Farms need to protect their harvest, their machinery and also expand or reduce the number of shelters on their property to adapt to changing circumstances. Here at QLD Shade Sheds, our custom shed manufacturing team works closely with Australia’s farmers to provide them with shelters that are reliable and easy to install.

Modify to Suit Your Needs 

The versatility of portable shade shelters is tremendously useful for agriculture professionals. Success in the farming sector requires specialists to make quick decisions in order to solve problems in a timely manner. Need to erect an additional structure on short notice for storing the harvest? Do you need to purchase new machinery and protect it from harsh weather? A shade shed can be installed or modified to keep up with the pace of your farming operation.

Shade shelters can be set up anywhere and are available with several hold down options such as ground anchors for grass as well as saddles and bolts for installation on a concrete slab.

Strong, Affordable Shelters 

Although versatility is important for all weather shelters, the real test of the product is in its ability to withstand extreme conditions while providing unparalleled protection. At QLD Shade Sheds, we manufacture open ended shelters using strong, durable materials that provide an excellent solution for protecting valuable farming machinery from the harsh weather.

Protect Livestock 

Shade sheds are made using high-quality galvanised steel frames, Colorbond® sheeting and come with hold down options for concrete and grass. This allows customers to set up structures that can be extended or reduced in size, and protect large numbers of livestock using shed materials that are stable, durable and non-toxic.
