LIFESTYLE GARAGES & WORKSHOPS RANGE
Looking for a garage that works as hard as you do?
Two-Zone Flexibility
The Duratuf Lifestyle Workshop Series is the ultimate solution for those who need a high-quality garage, a fully functional workshop—or both. Designed as a versatile two-zone shed, it gives you the flexibility to create a space that works the way you do.
Use one end as a secure, reliable garage for your vehicle or equipment and the other as a dedicated workshop, hobby area, or even a small office setup. With layout options including two roller doors, a roller door with a ranchslider, or a roller and PA door—with or without windows—you can tailor the access and function to suit your lifestyle.
Built on a strong timber frame, the Workshop Series is easy to line and kit out with shelving, benches, power, and lighting—making it perfect for serious DIY, mechanical work, or storage. Add windows or extra PA doors to customise it even further.
With a clean, modern design and a 30-year warranty, these multi-use sheds are more than just storage. They’re smart, spacious, and built to last—whether you’re wrenching on the weekends or parking up after a long day.
Single-Zone Option: Simple, Strong, and Adaptable
Not everyone needs separate spaces—and that’s where the single roller door option comes in. It’s ideal for those after a streamlined setup that still delivers strength, quality, and versatility.
Whether you’re using it as a secure garage for your car, boat, or quad—or transforming it into a personal workshop or creative space—this single-zone shed gives you a practical, reliable base to build from. Add shelving, workbenches, lighting, or extra doors and windows to tailor it to your needs.
Like the rest of the series, it’s built on a solid timber frame that’s easy to line and finish, making it just as ready for serious use as its two-zone sibling.
With clean lines, a smart finish, and that same 30-year warranty, this shed is proof that compact doesn’t mean compromise.

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 all Lifestyle range models
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.
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.

Automatic Door Kit
Access your Lifestyle Range Shed at the click of a button with our remote controlled automatic door kit. A popular addition for those wanting complete convenience.
Clear Roof Panel
Duratuf Clear Roof Panels provide UV free natural daylight inside your shed. This is perfect if you are using your shed for a workshop and need light while the door may be closed. Please note that clear roof panels may condensate more than a steel roof during cold weather.
Lifestyle Range Ranchslider
All Lifestyle cabins and workshops come with a stylish yet functional ranchslider optional upgrade. All ranchslider feature timber liners that extend 12mm inside the framing making lining easy.
Choose between single or double glazed ranchslider doors, both offering easy access for larger items and plenty of natural light. Single glazed ranchsliders are great for a hobby cabin, while double glazed ranchsliders are essential for a sleepout/office due to their superior insulation and energy efficiency.
Optional Extra Height
Lifestyle sheds already come with generous wall height, but sometimes a little extra makes all the difference. With our optional 390mm wall height upgrade, you’ll enjoy more space to move, better storage for tall items, and extra comfort for taller users. It’s also ideal for creating a roomier, more practical workshop.
Please note: this upgrade is not available on all Lifestyle Range models.
Peg Down Kit
The Duratuf peg down kit is perfect for anchoring your garden shed on ground such as grass, dirt or metal. The 6 x H5 treated pegs are driven into the ground and screwed to the bottom plate with the stainless steel screws provided. A timber floor kit can then be fitted over the top if required.
Shed Alarm
This innovative mains free shed alarm is easily fixed inside the framing of your Duratuf shed. Features an ultra-loud 130db siren.
