What is ShedSafe®?
ShedSafe® is a nationally recognised accreditation managed by the Australian Steel Institute (ASI). It sets the benchmark for the steel shed industry across Australia, ensuring all ShedSafe sheds meet rigorous standards for safety, structural integrity, and compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
ShedSafe® is an industry accreditation scheme managed by the Australian Steel Institute. The program was established following Cyclone Larry in 2006, which exposed significant issues with non-compliant shed construction. ShedSafe® exists to help shed buyers make informed purchase decisions and ensure their investment is protected.
