Commercial, lifestyle or farm sheds, built exactly how you need it!

At FORT BUILDINGS we like to ensure that your new build is the best fit your individual needs. 

Farm sheds, implement sheds, workshops, commercial buildings or storage sheds.....we all have different requirements and important considerations. And yes, we can help!

Want to know more about the special features you can add? Browse through our different options below.

Internal Fitout Options

Plywood Linings
Add 12mm ply for linings. You can cover the complete wall or up to 2.4m high. Perfect for lifestyle or farm sheds where extra protection is needed or for an area to hang your tools.

Timber or steel stud framing
Often for a lifestyle shed, internal fit out is required meaning timber or steel stud framing is required so internal linings can be attached. We ensure this can be incorporated into the design as needed. You can also create a mezzanine inside the building footprint for extra storage. Stairs can be included along with a balustrade and hand rails for safety.

Adding in Rooms
A simple internal bathroom or office can be incorporated into any of the shed plans to help create multipurpose spaces.

Moisture Barriers

Wall Wrap
Provides a moisture barrier which is fitted neatly between the exterior cladding and the wall framing.

Insulation
An insulation blanket can be installed to help moderate the temperature inside the shed. 3mm thick, the blanket provides a thermal break which works to lessen the extremes.

Dridex
A must for fully enclosed sheds, Dridex is the most effective moisture barrier for under your roofing. Dridex is a fleece which is fixed to the underside of the roofing. The advantage over traditional underlay is this removes the age old problem of sagging paper and insects crawling through the laps. Dridex works by absorbing condensation that would usually collect on the underside of the steel roofing and prevent it from dripping inside your shed.

Window Options

Awning Windows
Opens from the top, usually with 1 fixed pane and 1 or 2 opening panes.

Sliding Windows
Customise the size to suit your preferred style of window.

Custom Shape Windows
Add that architectural touch to your new lifestyle shed.

Concrete options

3m, 4m or 5m roof overhang
