Your Big Shed Documents Explained

Your Big Shed has arrived. Exciting times ahead!

Your Big Shed expert will be sending through a set of documents over email. It’s your roadmap, checklist, and compliance guide rolled into one.

Let’s break it down so you know exactly what you’re working with.

The Order Summary

Your parts checklist.

Every single component that makes up your Big Shed, from wall panels and roof sheets to brackets, bolts, and accessories.

💡 Why It Matters: We take great pride in packing and double-checking everything is in order before shipping things out. Once it’s in your hands, the Order Summary becomes your personal checklist. Tick off each item as you unpack carefully. It’s the easiest way to make sure you’ve got everything you need before you start building.

The Engineering Plans

These are supplementary documents you can provide to the council if they require approval to build. They also prove that your Big Shed meets Australian Standards backed by a design that’s ShedSafe accredited.

‍
In the Engineering Plans, you’ll find:

• Your Big Shed’s wind rating specific to your location

• Load capacities

• Structural requirements

• Installation and footing specs

💡 Why It Matters: These plans aren’t just for the council’s benefit. Following these closely ensures your shed complies with building codes and holds up under Aussie weather conditions.

We did a quick video on these too. If you prefer watching, do check it out!

Your go-to build guide. Think of it as a DIY playbook. In it, you’ll find:

• Step-by-step instructions

• Detailed diagrams

• Hardware identification

• A QR code linking to our digital Shed Installation Guide
