Purchased a new Duratuf garden shed in April 26 for extra storage space. I am very happy with the purchase. Some of the assembly instructions need a tweek to make it clearer but over all the shed went together well.

Ordered the shed through my local Mitre 10 store, delivery was quicker than expected. The local builder who constructed the shed said it was straight forward, and the shed looks great. I have moved the Ride on, all the garden power tools and storage items out to the shed, freeing up the garage. Very happy with the purchase.

Have just built my kitset Kiwi Gable Shed. Easy build and perfect for what I need at home for general storage. And... great follow up from Duratuf asking if all OK and reminded me to register for my warranty. Happy as!!

This a great shed and supper easy to open close. My installer did a good job. It looks awesome seems to be pretty water tight. The internal floor, bench , sunlight roof are great additions and quality .

I purchased a Kiwi KL3 Garden Shed with double sliding doors after considering a number of options available. Duratuf design appeared superior to other options, and supported the work bench and storage requirements I had. Very happy with the components and the instructions. A check off schedule was provided that I could use to validate all parts were supplied. A great solo project without any issues, and didn't require any assistance. Based on my experience, Duratuf and their products are highly recommended.

Good company to deal with. Had to purchase through Bunnings who also sorted the delivery. Shed looks good and door functions well.

Very happy with the Duratuf Shed. Was able to customize it exactly how I wanted. Doors and skylights etc. The interior wooden framing is very tidy and great for mounting pegboard to etc. Would recommend Duratuf to anyone.

We purchased the Duratuf Windsor Lifestyle Shed. We are in a high wind area, and it is solid as a rock. Great looking shed. Well packed and easy to install. We are extremely happy with this product.
