Shade Sheds vs. Traditional Structures in Queensland

shade sheds

If you’re interested in adding a structure to your space that will protect a boat or vehicle, or act as a horse shade shelter, you may find yourself with several options to choose from. For some, a traditional structure that requires a builder and the laying of a foundation might be the best investment, while others may be in the market for a more convenient, versatile and lightweight solution. At QLD Shade Sheds, we design portable shade structures that are cost-effective, easy to install and easy to transport. In this blog, we discuss the reasons why our portable shade shelters are superior to traditional structures.

Easy to Relocate

Shade sheds are made from extremely durable, lightweight materials that are easy to store and transport. This allows a client to move, repurpose and readjust their shade shed as per their requirements. Looking to turn a horse shade shelter into a boat shelter? Simply take the structure apart and relocate it in no time at all.

A Great Choice if You’re Renting or Selling

A traditional structure requires the laying of a foundation slab, and a number of other regulations that take time and cost money that you may be unwilling to invest in a property that is not your own. QLD Shade Sheds on the other hand, offers a completely relocatable shelter that is easy to install. Similarly, if you’re thinking of selling your home, QLD Shade Sheds offers car or boat shelters that can be taken with you.

Easy to Install 

Whether it’s a boat shelter or a shed for a 4WD, you can rest assured that your new shade shelter will be easy to install with detailed assembly instructions from our team. Portable shade shelters come with a concrete free hold down option should you wish to install it on grass.

All-Weather, Multipurpose Shade Sheds in QLD 

QLD Shade Sheds manufactures high-quality shelters that meet the highest Australian standards. Each product is made using galvanised steel frames with Colorbond® sheeting. Contact us today to find out how our shade sheds are superior to traditional structures.

Tips for Keeping Your QLD Shade Shed in Top Condition

shade sheds

Whether you’re looking for all-weather shade shelters or transportable shade sheds, QLD Shade Sheds has the products you need. Our shade shelters are specially designed to withstand Australian weather conditions and are remarkably easy to maintain. Regular maintenance of a shade shed helps you get the most out of your investment by identifying potentially serious problems early and keeping your shed in excellent working condition even during heavy storms. Read on for maintenance advice for your shade shed.

Maintenance Tips for Your Shade Shed in QLD

QLD Shade Sheds provides customers with a detailed maintenance schedule once their shed has been dispatched. The first maintenance should be carried out three months after installation and, following that, an annual maintenance should suffice.

Nuts and Screws 

The first step is to do a complete check of all nuts and screws used in the structure. Tighten the components if needed, and if some are missing, replacement parts can be purchased at QLD Shade Sheds.

Check Structure 

Inspect your all weather shelter for leaks and cracks, as well as the steel frame. Over time, dents and cracks can appear in a shed and if left unaddressed, can lead to expensive repairs down the road. At QLD Shade Sheds, we are known for providing excellent customer support, so if a client has a concern about their shed, our sales team is always there to help.

Check for Rust

If you live in an area that receives a lot of rainfall, you should look closely to spot any signs of rust on your shed. In case of rust, we recommend sanding down the affected area to remove rust, and then respraying it with a couple of coats of high-quality silver zinc spray for protection against moisture.

Pressure Wash Exterior 

Even the most robust shade shed will experience wear and tear due to dust, debris and other environmental factors. One of the best ways to protect the sturdy exterior of your shed is to regularly pressure wash the shed to dislodge corrosive materials.

Shade Shed in QLD For Residential and Commercial Use 

QLD Shade Sheds delivers custom made shade sheds for a wide range of applications. Our shed kits are designed with easy installation in mind and include detailed instructions for assembly. Contact our team today for transportable shade shed products, shed maintenance tips and more.

Let’s talk sizing

At QLD Shade Sheds we will make a product for exactly what you need.

We are 100% Australian made and family owned, our workshop is based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, and we can delivery Australia wide.

Below is our standard sizing chart for our Shade Sheds.

Standard Sizing chart

We offer standard sizes, or you can use this as a guide and custom your shade shed to what you need.

 

We can customize the length and height dimensions however, our widths need to remain the same to provide our engineering certificate and a strong built to last structure. When you choose a width wider than 5.9 meters you then go into our large span category.

Our Large Span Shade Sheds use a 150mm galvanised steel frame to support the size of the shed. When using the 150mm steel frame, our ground anchor hold down option will no longer be applicable. If you would like more information about our hold downs, please visit https://qldshadesheds.com.au/blog-2/choosing-your-hold-downs/

Our cyclonic rated shade sheds have some limitations on the height to width ratio, this is to make sure we are providing you with the highest quality Shade Shed on the market.

The Sunburnt Country

Australia can be described as the Sunburnt Country and for good reason. We are almost in Summer although, let’s be honest many areas of Australia feel like we are in Summer all year around. During these extreme heats many of us experience overs the warmer months ourselves and our belongings are vulnerable to sun damage.

High UV rays will overtime fade the paint of your cars, caravans, and boats.  It’s not just cosmetic damage you need to worry about. Your dashboards can crack, liquids can evaporate, and rubber can melt. Pets and livestock also rely on cooler temperatures to promote heat loss and shade is essential for this, especially for dark-coloured animals that readily absorb heat.

Our Shade Sheds are a great economical alternative to a fully enclosed structures and as they are free standing, they can be positioned almost anywhere on your property with no major excavation works required.  Totally relocatable, they can be easily repositioned or even taken with you.

Our Shade Sheds are made to order in our workshop on the Sunshine Coast. We are proud of our high quality Australian made products, so if you want to protect your goods and furry friends this summer choose QLD Shade Sheds.
