The great Aussie shed can be as unique as our DNA – a personal space designed just for you and your lifestyle.
Of course, a good shed should be durable, sturdy and built from quality materials to stand the test of time. And, it should be something you can be proud of – something that might even make your neighbours jealous.
With limitless design possibilities, Fair Dinkum Builds' residential sheds are created specifically with your purpose, site requirements, and individual style in mind.
From extra storage, to a garage, workshop, home office or recreational space, a shed can be whatever you need.

FAQs about building a shed
Do I need planning permission to build a shed?
Yes, you typically do. Building a new shed is an exciting project, but it's essential to ensure all legal requirements are met. Most sheds require a permit unless they're small (less than 10m²) and comply with local rules and regulations.
Your local Fair Dinkum shed experts can help you navigate your local requirements.
What are the different shed size options?
At Fair Dinkum Builds, we offer a huge range of sizes to suit every need. From compact 6m x 6m sheds for smaller properties to expansive 12m x 12m or even 10m x 20m sheds for larger landscapes, we have a solution for every outdoor area.
Rather than offering standard sizes, you can get whatever you need – limited only by engineering requirements and your imagination.
Will a shed increase the value of my home?
Absolutely! Our high-quality sheds aren't just for storage – they're a valuable addition to your property. A well-designed, functional shed can enhance your home's appeal and potentially increase its market value.
How much does it cost to build a shed?
The shed prices can vary depending on many factors, including size, design, and materials used. At Fair Dinkum Builds, we're committed to providing high-quality sheds at competitive prices and service. Get in touch with us for an accurate, no-obligation quotation.
Do you offer shed kits?
We do offer shed kits - although most customers will have us do the build as well. Get more information on our shed kits here.
Are sheds built using Colorbond Steel?
Colorbond is one of four options we give you for your new shed(the others being Unicote, MagnaFlow & SuperDura Stainless steel). Get more information on Colorbond shed build options.
