Backyard Garage Sheds for Sale in NZ

Keep your outdoor gear organised, accessible, and safe with a quality storage shed from Trade Tested. Built tough for New Zealand conditions, our outdoor sheds protect your gear from rain, wind, and UV while freeing up valuable space in your home or garage.

Why buy a storage shed?

A garden shed is more than just a place for storing your stuff. It’s convenience, security, and protection all in one.

Protect your belongings: Keep tools, bikes, and equipment safe from rust, rain, and UV.

Free up space: Stop cluttering your garage or home with outdoor gear.

Store gear where you need it: Lawnmowers, power tools, and supplies are right at hand instead of across the property.

Choosing the right shed

Shed materials

Different materials offer different advantages. Choosing the right one comes down to how you’ll use your garden shed and the look you want in your backyard:

Steel sheds: Made from galvanised steel, these are durable, rust-proof, fire-resistant, and termite-proof. They’re built for maximum durability with a 12-year no-rust warranty.

Wooden sheds: Crafted from Nordic spruce, they provide natural insulation and a timeless look. Paint or stain to match your outdoor space.

Resin sheds: Lightweight and modern, resin sheds are UV-protected, weather-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free.

Shed Sizes

From small sheds to large workshops, Trade Tested has a style to match every backyard and storage need:

Tool and utility sheds (under 5m²): Great for hand tools, garden gear, or firewood. Ideal for smaller backyards or as an add-on beside the house.

Family-sized garden sheds (5-10m²): Plenty of room for lawnmowers, sports gear, pool furniture, and BBQ equipment. A good fit for most suburban homes.

Workshop-style sheds (10m²+): Provide more storage space for outdoor projects, or multi-use setups. Perfect if you’ve got ride-on mowers, multiple bikes, sports equipment, etc.

FAQs about backyard sheds

What’s the largest shed I can build without council consent?

Generally, structures under 10m² don’t require consent, but rules vary by council. Always confirm with your local authority.

What foundation is best for a garden shed?

A level concrete slab is ideal, but timber and steel foundations also work well, depending on shed size and site conditions.

Can I assemble my shed myself?

Yes. Our garden sheds are designed for DIY assembly, featuring pre-cut panels and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Many customers complete the build in a weekend.
