Frequently Asked Questions About Open Front Sheds in Australia

The regulations regarding the size of open front sheds that can be built without a permit in Australia can vary depending on the state or local government jurisdiction. In general, smaller options are often exempt from requiring a permit, while larger options may require approval.

As an example, in New South Wales, if your shed meets certain criteria, you may be able to construct it without a permit. These criteria typically include:

Maximum Size: The shed must be below a certain size threshold, such as 20 square metres or 25 square metres. However, this limit can vary depending on your location, so it’s essential to check with your local council.

Height Restriction: There may be a maximum height limit,, typically around 3 to 4 meters.

Setbacks: They may need to maintain certain distances from property boundaries or other structures, known as setbacks.

Location on the Property: Some councils may have specific requirements regarding where the shed can be situated on the property.

Waterproofing an open front shed is essential to protect your belongings from moisture and ensure the longevity of the structure. Here are some steps you can take to waterproof your shed:

Choose Waterproof Materials: Opt for waterproof materials when constructing or renovating your shed. This includes using weather-resistant roofing materials, such as Colorbond or corrugated metal, and treated timber for the frame and walls.

Seal Gaps and Joints: Inspect the shed for any gaps or joints where water could potentially enter. Seal these areas using caulk or weatherstripping to prevent water infiltration.

Install Gutters and Downspouts: Adding gutters and downspouts to your shed can help divert rainwater away from the structure. Ensure they are properly installed and direct the water into a drainage system or away from the shed’s foundation.

Adequate Drainage: Ensure that the shed’s foundation and surrounding area have proper drainage. If necessary, grade the ground around the shed to promote water runoff and prevent pooling.

Apply Waterproof Coatings: Consider applying waterproof coatings or sealants to the exterior surfaces of the shed, such as the roof, walls, and exposed wood. These coatings can help repel water and provide an additional layer of protection.

Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent condensation and moisture buildup inside the shed. Install vents or windows that can be opened to allow air circulation, reducing the chances of dampness.

Regular Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance checks to identify any potential leaks or areas of concern. Replace any damaged or deteriorated materials promptly.

Elevate Stored Items: If possible, elevate your stored items off the ground using shelves, pallets, or racks. This helps prevent them from coming into direct contact with any moisture that may seep into the shed.

The standard height of an open-front shed can vary depending on factors such as the purpose of the shed, local building regulations, and personal preferences. However, a common standard height range for open-front sheds is typically between 2.4 metres and 3.6 metres.

Additionally, if you have specific requirements or intend to use the shed for particular purposes such as storing tall equipment or vehicles, you may need to consider a taller shed to accommodate those needs. Customisation options are often available to tailor the height of the shed to your specific requirements.
