Snow Load Upgrade Kit

Live in New Zealand’s high country where snowfalls are regular? We have you covered with a NZS 3605 standard 1 kPa engineered load rating on all our Lifestyle sheds.

However, for those higher elevation areas with severe snow, the Snow Load Upgrade Kit is a perfect addition to your Lifestyle shed, with a 2kPa upgrade Snow Load kit option to suit NZS 3604 standards, reinforcing the shed's inner roof structure.

This kit is only available for the following models: Whitford, Otago, Havelock, Kapiti, Glenburn, Ardmore, Oxford, Wairarapa and Paihia.

Very High Wind Upgrade Kit

The Lifestyle shed can withstand most of Mother Nature’s wear and tear, but for those Very High Wind Zone areas, we offer an NZS 3604 Very High Wind Zone shed upgrade kit for the following models: Whitford, Otago, Havelock, Kapiti, Glenburn, Ardmore, Oxford, Wairarapa and Paihia.

Very High Wind situations are as defined in NZS3604. The BRANZ website may also be of use: www.branz.co.nz/branz-maps-zones. For some Lifestyle shed models in these areas, a Very High Wind Upgrade kit is required, in combination with a concrete floor, to maintain compliance with the Building Code.

The Shed models this applies to are those that are greater than 2.0m deep front-to-back (with the exception of the Kinloch model). Note: Very High Wind upgrade kits cannot be used with Timber Floors; if this is necessary, please refer to NZS3604 or professional engineering advice.

Pedestrian Access Door

Take your accessibility up a notch with a pedestrian access door (810mm W x 1920mm H). The door is steel framed and can be the same colour as the shed, the roller door, or whichever other colour you prefer.

Shed Alarm

This innovative mains free shed alarm is easily fixed inside the framing of your Duratuf shed. Features an ultra-loud 130db siren.
