The Lifestyle Shed Range

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 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.

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.

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
