Hear from our happy customers

Garden Shed 2.31m x 1.55m x 2.02m Ironsand:

“Easy enough to assemble (took less than a day for two people). Plenty of room inside, and we've had a few strong weather warnings since we put it up, and it has handled the weather well. Inside was dry.”

Workshop Shed 3.07m x 4.59m x 2.17m Ironsand:

“A good shed for the money, it does take quite some time to put together, so allow at least two days and two people minimum. Don't assemble it if it is windy; the structure is quite flimsy until you have the roof on, where it becomes rigid. The instructions leave a lot for you to work out, connecting the dots, so if you are not confident in working these sorts of things out, I would recommend finding help to assemble this with you. Overall, it works well and was by far the cheapest available I could find. Shipping was timely and easy.”

Garden Shed 3.07m x 0.79m x 1.92m Wood Finish:

“I have built many of these non-framed budget sheds, and this one is easily the best value one I have found. The instructions are quite straightforward, and the hardware is of a much higher quality than you would normally find with a budget shed. You still need to take your time building it, as with all lightweight colour steel sheds, but if you have the patience and correct tools, you'll get a great result with this kit.”

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a shed look nice?

Add some smart design touches to your shed, such as outdoor lights or plants, around its exterior. Inside, incorporate shelving racks and crates for seamless organisation. Solid flooring and a foundation are also integral for both the functionality of your shed and its aesthetic.

What should you not put in an outside shed?

Don’t store anything hazardous or flammable, such as petrol, solvents or fireworks, in an outdoor shed. Be mindful of storing paper, electronics and perishable items as temperature changes can cause irreparable damage.

What is the most popular shed colour?

Ironsand, a dark brown shade, is typically the most popular colour for garden sheds in New Zealand because of its ability to match with any outdoor decor. At Trade Tested, our sheds are complete with natural finishes, slotting effortlessly into any outdoor layout.

What is the best type of shed to have?

You want a shed that’s durable, functional, and looks good too. Our galvanised steel sheds deliver on all three, backed by a 12-year warranty for extra peace of mind. Our Keter resin shed range is another smart choice, offering the benefits of a low-maintenance material.

Should you put anything under a shed?

Yes, all sheds need a solid foundation. Pair your Trade Tested garden shed with a corresponding wooden floor kit, or opt for a concrete base for a permanent, long-lasting structure.
