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.

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.

75mm x 50mm x 1.6mm

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.

Shade Sheds vs. Traditional Structures in Queensland

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.

Tips for Keeping Your QLD Shade Shed in Top Condition

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.
