Sheds and Garages Hobart.

Tassie Sheds designs and builds custom steel garages and sheds for homeowners right across the greater Hobart area, engineered specifically for your block and made from 100% Australian BlueScope steel. Whether you need a single lock-up garage for the car, a double garage with room for a workbench, or a triple bay shed with a garaport off the front, we build it to your site rather than to a fixed catalogue size.

Every Hobart property has different storage needs: vehicles, tools, the trailer, the boat, the ride-on, and the gear that never quite fits in the house. That's why we don't lock you into standard sizes. We can start with a standard single, double or triple garage, and then adjust the height, span and length in increments as fine as 1mm so the finished building suits your driveway, your fall of land and the space you actually have.

You can add a carport extension to turn a garage into a garaport, or run a lean-to down one side for sheltered storage without adding much to the cost. It's your building, and we help you get the layout right before a single sheet of steel is cut.

A good value shed is not always about price. Two Hobart shed quotes for the same size can differ by thousands, and the gap is usually in what you can't see: the steel thickness, the wind engineering for your block and whether the supplier is using imported steel in the building and cladding.

Designing a building cheaply is easy, but at Tassie Sheds, we pride ourselves on quoting quality buildings and giving you value for money, which often does not cost a lot more. We can show you ways to bring the price of a building down that we have quoted, or ways to add polish to make your new building a statement piece.

Fully customise your Hobart shed

Your shed should be as functional as it is good-looking, so we offer a large range of optional extras that can be built into any shed design. Add a motorised roller door, a personal access door, skylight sheeting, windows, whirlybird ventilation or insulation, one or a combination, worked in wherever you need them.

Our garages, sheds and workshops are made from high-tensile Australian BlueScope Galvaspan steel, clad in your choice of COLORBOND® or ZINCALUME® sheeting on both the walls and roof. Choose from a deep pan 5 rib or the traditional corrugated profile to finish the look off.

That gives you 22 standard COLORBOND® colours to choose from, allowing you to match the roofline, fences or your existing buildings around your Hobart property, whether that's a heritage street in Sandy Bay or a rural block out past Sorell. Talk to your local Tassie Sheds team about the finish you're after, and we'll help you land on a colour combination that suits your landscape and surrounding buildings.

Workshops in Hobart

If you want a sturdy, dry, secure space to work and tinker in year-round, Tassie Sheds builds workshop sheds designed around what you actually do in them. No matter if you are using it as a mechanical workshop with a hoist or a woodworking studio with a lathe, or just a man cave, we can design the perfect workshop for your property.

Our 3D shed design system lets us tailor the perfect garage-and-workshop combination to suit you. Height, span and length can all be changed, and you can mix open bays with enclosed, secure areas in the one building. Roller doors, personal access doors, skylights, windows, internal walls, ventilation and insulation can all be incorporated to increase functionality. We can customise the bay layout, allowing you to have several bays for vehicles and enough room left over for a fully functioning enclosed workshop.

Our designs are pre-engineered and ShedSafe accredited, independently reviewed against the National Construction Code by the industry body that certifies shed designs. We use BlueScope steel exclusively, with GALVASPAN® structural members, so your building carries genuine BlueScope steel warranties and you get the choice of ZINCALUME® or the full COLORBOND® colour range to finish it off. We can supply your steel workshop in kit form for the owner-builder, or arrange contacts to help get the building installed.

Rural and farm sheds around Hobart

For farmers and rural landholders across southern Tasmania, Tassie Sheds designs farm buildings that protect machinery, hay, produce and livestock, engineered to the highest Australian Standards and built from 100% Australian BlueScope steel. From the Coal River Valley to the Huon, our team works with you to understand the purpose of the building and to get you a quality design at a great price.

An open gable-end design offers a lot of usable storage for a rural property, keeping hay, harvests, machinery or livestock under cover. We can enclose one, two or three walls to suit your prevailing weather, add extended header sheets for extra protection, and clad the walls and roof in your choice of ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND®.

Our open-front farm sheds are flexible and versatile so you can get the most out of your site. Nominate the number of bays and their widths, even uneven bays if that suits your machinery, and choose a skillion or gable roof for the finish and function you want. Spans reach up to 25 metres and heights up to 8 metres, and the whole range is ShedSafe accredited. We can customise any standard design and add optional extras to match how you'll actually use the shed.

Steel barns Hobart

Tassie Sheds builds both American-style and Aussie-style barns for Hobart-region properties. Our American-style barns feature a 20° centre pitch with attached lean-tos at 10° as standard, a traditional look that suits southern Tasmania's rural landscapes and stays popular with our customers.

Barns offer unprecedented customisation, as we can have the centre section fully enclosed and one awning open, one awning closed, or half awnings open and closed. We can customise barns more than just about any other building.

One decision when designing a barn is whether to stick with the American barn style with drop-down awnings or the Aussie-style barn that has awnings that come off at the eave height, giving it a more modern, sleek look. Either way these buildings are the ideal solution when you want multiple uses out of the same building. Having the flexibility to have the high section and the awnings all different widths and heights and lengths, and them being able to be enclosed or roof only, really gives the barn flexibility that other buildings don't have.

Enhance your barn with motorised roller doors, personal access doors, mezzanine levels and ventilation. You can include up to three roller doors on the front and back, with the option to add them to the side walls as well. Choose a gable or skillion roof to achieve the finish you're after. And because we build in BlueScope steel, you get the full COLORBOND® colour range to select a combination that works with your site's landscape and existing buildings.

Horse stables and riding arenas Hobart

If you keep horses on an acreage around Hobart, Sorell, Richmond or the Huon, Tassie Sheds builds robust BlueScope steel stables, shelters and riding arenas designed to stand up to southern Tasmania's toughest weather.

Our stables and equine sheds are a cost-effective way to house and shelter your animals. Height, span and width are all tailored to your needs: add bays, enclose and secure some of them, and even fit internal walls. Finish them off with tack rooms, split doors and extended areas so your horses can stretch their legs.

A covered arena gives your horses and riders year-round protection from Hobart's rain, wind and summer sun. The design parameters are flexible, so we can size an arena to the space available on your property, add extended header sheets, and enclose one or more walls where you need a windbreak. Our team will sit down with you to find the best solution for your property.

Industrial and commercial sheds Hobart

Tassie Sheds supplies cold-formed steel portal-frame industrial and commercial buildings, custom designed and engineered for your business, from small industrial workshops and factories to warehouses, offices and school buildings.

Our cold-form industrial sheds are manufactured from genuine Australian BlueScope steel, with frames using 450+ MPa steel coil in the major components. That framing system allows lengths beyond 100 metres, heights up to 8 metres and clear spans up to 25 metres, column-free floor space you can actually work in.

All major components are Australian BlueScope steel, with cladding available in both ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND®. Our sheds are manufactured in Hobart, giving us a fast turnaround time on manufacturing and delivery. However big or small your requirement, we have a building design that can be customised to suit.

Shed homes Hobart

If you're looking to build a stylish, spacious shed home on your block, Tassie Sheds' range can be transformed into Class 1a liveable buildings for extra living space or a full home. We supply Hobart shed homes in kit form, the ideal choice for the owner-builder who wants control over the finish.

Steel kit homes suit rural and semi-rural blocks around Hobart beautifully, and they're cost-effective because you choose your own doors, windows, fixtures and fittings suppliers. That gives you real flexibility over the final look. As home ownership becomes more expensive, shed homes are becoming more and more popular as a way for handy people to get into the housing market.

Carports Hobart

Need to keep the car, boat, caravan or bike out of the Hobart weather? Tassie Sheds is the go-to team for steel carports across the south. Our carports are made from COLORBOND® steel cladding, with SHS posts that can be bolted down to a slab or installed with the column directly into concrete piers, giving you a stronger carport at a cheaper price. You can pick between a skillion or gable roof style that will look great being used as a carport or as a cover over an outdoor area.

Building in the Hobart region

Whether you need council approval depends on the shed's size, location on the block and your local council's planning scheme. Tassie Sheds supplies signed engineered plans and the Form 35 that your building surveyor or council needs, and we deliver free right across the greater Hobart area.

Most Hobart-region properties fall under one of four councils: City of Hobart, Glenorchy City Council, Clarence City Council or Kingborough Council, and each administers building approvals under the Tasmanian Building Act 2016 and the CBOS (Consumer, Building and Occupational Services) framework. Under that framework, a shed may be exempt, notifiable, low-risk or require a full building permit, depending mainly on its floor area, height and how close it sits to boundaries and other buildings.

Because the thresholds and planning-scheme setbacks differ between councils and zones, the simplest path is to confirm your specific situation with your council or a building surveyor early. Every Tassie Sheds building comes with signed engineered plans prepared for local council, so once you know which category your shed falls into, you'll have the documentation your surveyor or council needs to sign off. Our free CBOS Shed Building Cheat Sheet walks through the categories in plain English.

Tasmania sits in wind Region A (non-cyclonic) under AS/NZS 1170.2, so most Hobart blocks are Region A sites. But the exact design wind speed for your shed depends on the terrain category and topography of your particular block, an exposed, elevated site in the kunanyi / Mount Wellington foothills, or a coastal block out at Lauderdale, Seven Mile Beach or Blackmans Bay, will attract a higher wind classification than a sheltered suburban yard in New Town. Elevated southern sites can also carry a snow-loading requirement. Because we're ShedSafe accredited, we engineer each building to the wind, and where relevant the snow and solar loading, of its actual location, rather than to a one-size-fits-all rating. That's the difference between a shed that's "close enough" and one that's engineered for your Hobart site.

We build and deliver right across greater Hobart and southern Tasmania, including Hobart CBD, Sandy Bay, Battery Point, New Town, Lenah Valley and South Hobart; the northern suburbs of Moonah, Glenorchy, Claremont, Berriedale and Rosetta; the eastern shore through Rosny, Bellerive, Lindisfarne, Howrah and Lauderdale; Kingston, Blackmans Bay and Margate to the south; and out to Sorell, Brighton, New Norfolk and Huonville. Free delivery applies right across this area, so there's no delivery charge to add to your Hobart quote.
