Big Shed Maintenance 101
Machinery Shed in a Farm

Your Easyshed Big Shed is built tough. There’s no question about it.

Our Big Sheds are made from the best materials and are designed with ShedSafe criteria in mind, ensuring everything is up to Australian Building Standards.

And while sheds are made to endure various conditions, a bit of maintenance can go a long way in keeping them looking their best. No matter the size or what you use your Big Shed for, we’ve listed some tips to help keep it looking pristine and new.

Store Smart

Your Big Shed is up and you’re keen to start filling it.

If you’re storing fertiliser, fuel, or other chemicals, it’s best to keep them sealed in tight containers and kept at least 300mm away from the walls. Those substances can vent corrosive fumes and can weaken steel of any kind over time.

Vermin Proof-It

The last thing you want is rats and mice chewing into your storage and machinery. Use vermin-proofing around the base of your Big Shed to stop rodents from moving in. Keeping the area around your Big Shed clear and tidy also helps reduce hiding spots and nesting areas.

Give It a Good Wash

Just like your car, your Big Shed could use the occasional wash to remove dirt, grime, and anything harmful from building up on the surface.

Use town water, not bore water, as it contains minerals that can spoil the coating and paint finish. Hose it down, use a bucket, and a sponge with soapy water to get rid of stubborn dirt.

Avoid using cleaning products that have strong chemicals or corrosive ingredients.

Living Big Made Easy

Our Big Sheds are Aussie-made with quality steel built for tough conditions. With a little TLC, you're set up to have a shed that will keep you up with the times and keep looking great for decades to come.

 

Follow these simple care tips to ensure your shed will last decades. Knowing full well that what keeps your belongings protected is also kept safe and secure.
