The new shed on the block
Lifestyle Shed Timber Floor Kit
Upgrade your flooring with our Plywood and Timber Floor Kit options, including cut-to-size 17mm H3 plywood sheets, or cut-to-length thick gauge H3 timber floorboards, ground treated timber joists, treadplate doorway flashing and all necessary hardware. Note that Timber Floor Kit's floorboards are supplied in a separate pack from the main kitset.
For Marlborough and Kaipara models, the bottom plate sits on top of the floor, and waterproofing is achieved with a DPC membrane.
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.
Aluminium Fixed Window
A high quality NZ manufactured aluminium joinery fixed window is perfect to let extra light into your shed. You can choose to have it match the cladding colour, the door colour, or any other available colour you prefer. The flashings surrounding the window must match the other flashings on your shed. Window measures 970mm W x 520mm H.
Aluminium Opening Window
A high quality NZ manufactured aluminum joinery opening window is perfect to let extra light and ventilation when you need it into your shed. You can choose to have it match the cladding colour, the door colour, or any other available colour you prefer. The flashings surrounding the window must match the other flashings on your shed. Window measures 970mm W x 520mm H.
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.
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.
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.
Heavy Duty Workbench
For a solid working area and extra storage capacity you need a heavy duty work bench. This well designed bench has a unique lock together construction with a 250Kg load rating per shelf support. Approximate size: 1140mm W x 500mm D x 900mm H
5 Tier Shelf Unit
Maximise your storage space with this bolt free interlocking kitset shelf unit. Each shelf support has a 350kg load rating with quality MDF shelves. With a galvanised frame it is built to last - an ideal complement to your Duratuf shed. Approximate Size: 900mm W x 400mm D x 1800mm H

Your review of The Lifestyle Shed Range
5 Considerations when buying a garden shed
Justin quickly runs through 5 important things to consider when choosing your next garden shed.
Assembly Services
Building a shed not really your cup of tea? Justin shows you how to find an assembly service to build your Duratuf shed.
The Lifestyle Range
In this video Justin shows you around our Lifestyle Range sheds and gives you a run down of the features.
What is a Raised Floor Modification?
In this video Justin explains what a Raised Floor Modification (RFM) is and when you need it for your Duratuf Garden Shed. You only need to order an RFM if purchasing a Kiwi Range shed. All other ranges either have it built in, or it can be done by you during assembly.
Why Timber Framing?
