Quotes and Pricing

How do I get a quote or price for a shed?

Send through your shed size, build location, intended use, and key options. Our sales team will prepare a personalised quote for your project.

What is included in a standard quote?

A standard quote usually includes the steel building kit, relevant engineering documents, and delivery to many major populated areas. Final inclusions depend on the design.

Are there any potential extra costs?

Extra costs may include council fees, concrete slabs, plumbing, electrical work, installation, and site-specific requirements outside the shed kit.

Do you offer finance options?

No. True Blue Sheds does not currently offer finance directly.

Council Approval

Do I require council approval for my shed?

In nearly all cases, some form of council approval is required. Requirements vary by state, council, shed size, location, and use, so we recommend checking with your local council.

Can True Blue Sheds help with the council approval process?

We supply signed engineering plans and relevant documentation for your building. Your local council, certifier, or building surveyor can confirm what is required for approval.

Can I order my shed before receiving council approval?

Many customers order once planning approval is received while waiting for final building or plumbing approval, but you should confirm with all parties involved before ordering.

Construction and Install

Can I build my own shed?

Yes. Many customers construct their own sheds. We provide a construction guide, bill of materials, and engineering, although larger sheds may require machinery or experienced installers.

How long will it take to manufacture and deliver my shed?

Most sheds take around 4-6 weeks to manufacture and deliver after payment, depending on the design and delivery location.

Does True Blue Sheds offer installation services?

We do not have our own install teams, but we can often point customers toward qualified installers in many areas of Australia.

How do I prepare my site for delivery?

Most sheds are delivered by flatbed truck or semi with a Hiab crane. The truck needs room to unload safely, including space for stability arms.

Payment and Ordering

What payment methods do you accept?

True Blue Sheds accepts payment by EFT bank transfer.

What is the deposit requirement?

If council approval is required, a deposit can be paid to release engineering plans. Manufacturing begins once the required manufacturing payment has been received.

What is the ordering process?

We confirm your design, provide a quote, prepare engineering where required, then move the building into manufacturing after the required payment milestones are met.

Warranty and Maintenance

What warranty comes with True Blue Sheds?

Warranty coverage depends on the supplied materials, components, and building design. Our team can confirm the relevant warranty details for your quote.
