Dry and warm. Being a natural product, timber framing has less condensation and maintains a more consistent interior temperature compared to steel. Timber is the preferred framing method where these considerations are important. This makes timber sheds ideal for working spaces, workshops, farm or implement sheds. We construct solid timber or wooden sheds NZer's love!

Safe. Contrary to popular belief, timber is also more fire retardant than steel. The New Zealand Building Code outlines that a pole or wooden shed in NZ conditions, would take longer to burn than a cold rolled steel shed. Talk to our experienced team about how we make sure your wooden shed is always fully compliant with the NZ build code and safe for use.

Corrosion resistance. Timber does not rust at all.. you will never worry about rust in your timber or wooden shed. NZ coastlines can cause salt and water damage to sheds, with sea spray able to travel up to 20km inland. Whichever type of shed you choose, it’s important to choose the right material for the natural exposure it will potentially face.

Flexibility. Creating a bespoke internal layout is much more straightforward with timber than steel, as you can install workbenches, timber framing for linings or shelves directly to the timber frame. These additions can be made at any time by a qualified builder, making your shed capable of adapting to different uses over time. Our timber shed builders can also add a mezzanine inside the building footprint for extra storage or extended space, complete with stairs, balustrades and handrails for safety. Talk to us about your options!

Softer. The noise level is kept to a minimum with timber sheds, which is ideal for any shed that is going to be used for work or hobby spaces such as workshops, craft rooms or where noise could be an issue. If you’re spending a heap of time working in your shed, making sure it’s comfortable and quiet is paramount.
