FAQs
How much does a 6x8 shed cost?
With so many customisations offered, there's no way to give an exact price on what you'd expect to pay for a 6 x 8 shed, as every shed will be different and depend on what you've designed.
Do I need planning permission for a 6x8 shed?
In most of the states of Australia, you do require planning permission before you build a 6 x 8 shed. It's always best to check with your local authority before building your shed.
Do we offer 6x8 shed kits?
Yes! For those who like to put their shed together in one go and don't require a custom design, we offer shed kits with all the materials you need.
