Custom vs Durakit

Farm sheds for sale

At ABC Sheds, we offer two distinct approaches to farm shed construction: fully customised builds and our streamlined Durakit range of shed kits. Both deliver quality Australian-made steel sheds that exceed building standards, designed to match your specific project needs. 

Choose the option that fits your requirements, timeline, and budget.

Custom shed

Custom farm sheds

Custom farm sheds are designed and engineered specifically for your requirements. Every aspect is tailored to your needs, with detailed plans that account for your site conditions, intended use, and unique requirements. Once finalised, the structure is fabricated to your specifications and engineered to exceed AS/NZS 1170 and AS 4100 standards.

  • Any size or dimension: Not limited to standard measurements
  • Flexible design: Custom door locations, roof pitch, and internal layout
  • Site-specific engineering: Designed for your exact location and conditions
  • Specialised features: Mezzanines, lean-tos, multiple roller doors, custom clearances
  • Integration capability: Works with existing structures and infrastructure

Property owners who need specific dimensions, have unusual site requirements, require specialised features, or want a farm shed that integrates with existing buildings. Ideal when standard sizes don't fit your needs.

Making a decision: custom shed vs kit shed

The choice between custom and Durakit farm sheds comes down to your specific requirements, timeline, and budget.

Choose custom if you need specific dimensions that standard sizes don't cover, have unusual site conditions, require specialised internal features, or want your farm shed to integrate with existing infrastructure.

Choose Durakit if one of our eight standard sizes works for your needs and you want fast delivery. The complete kit approach means proven designs, fewer decisions, and rapid completion.

Both options deliver quality Australian steel farm sheds built to last decades.
