What is a Garage Shed?

A garage shed is a detached building almost exclusively for storage, automobile parking, or a workshop. Perfect for homeowners requiring extra space but not wanting to build a full extension. Garage sheds are great for decluttering your primary living spaces as they can hold everything from your tools and gardening equipment to a dedicated space for your car.

A garage shed can serve several functions, from straightforward storage space to a fully realised design with electrical and lighting needs and an office area. One of the great benefits of custom sheds is that they serve particular needs, whether for a home office, gym or DIY purposes.

Benefits of Having a Garage Shed

Maximises Property Space

Versatility and Customisation

A garage shed is versatile and can be customised for various purposes, such as a workshop for DIY or leisure activities or a storage space for seasonal items. Custom-built sheds offer the design, size, and functionality you desire, including shelving and electrical installations.

Protection for Vehicles

A well-maintained garage shed in Perth offers additional storage and protection for your car and other vehicles from the harsh Perth climate, ensuring their longevity and protection from extreme weather.

Why Choose Custom Built Sheds?

Tailored to Your Needs
