What will yours become?
Because every cabin starts as an open, timber-framed shell, the only limit is your imagination.
Here’s how people are transforming their Duratuf Lifestyle Cabins.
A True Blank Canvas
Unlined by default... Yours to finish.
Every Lifestyle Cabin arrives as an honest timber-framed shell — no lining, no assumptions. That’s the point. Add as much or as little as you like to make the space truly yours.
Simple setup, effortless lining
Solid timber framing makes it easy to run wiring and line the walls — customise it like any room of your home.
Optional lining kits
Add insulation and interior lining when you’re ready for year-round comfort.
Make it your own
Add shelving, benches, lighting and more — tackle the fit-out yourself or bring in a builder.
30 Year TripleTuf® Warranty
Our Duratuf sheds are backed by a comprehensive 30-year, TripleTuf® warranty designed to give you long-lasting confidence in your investment.

CONFIGURED AROUND YOU
Your shed, Your layout, Your choice of openings.
Choose from a range of door and window configurations, with single or double glazing options to suit the way you’ll use your shed.
Single Or Double Glazed Window Options
Configure your Lifestyle workshop with fixed or opening aluminium windows (930mm W x 485mm H), which can be added in multiple locations on most models.
Choose single or double glazing—single glazed is perfect for hobby spaces, while double glazed offers extra insulation for sleepouts or offices.
Personnel Access Doors
Add convenience to your Lifestyle shed with a Personnel Access (PA) Door upgrade. Measuring 810mm wide by 1920mm high, it provides easy everyday entry without opening the ranch slider. All PA doors are inward-opening.
The PA Door comes in the same colour to match your roller door and includes a quality lock for added security and peace of mind.
Please note: When ordering a PA Door and timber floor kit for your shed, we recommend adding a treadplate to your order to finish the opening neatly for additional weather proofing.

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.

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.

EXTRA SPACE WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF A MAJOR BUILD.
FEATURES
The Duratuf Lifestyle Range is built for flexible, everyday use around the home. Designed to suit gardens, backyards, and residential spaces, these buildings are ideal for storage, workshops, hobbies, and lifestyle needs. With a focus on practical sizing, clean design, and durable materials, the Lifestyle Range offers reliable performance and a smart finish that fits seamlessly into modern Kiwi homes. Explore the features that make this range a practical and dependable choice for everyday living.
No Building Consent Required Under 30sqm
The Duratuf Lifestyle sheds over 10m² have been reviewed and certified by a chartered professional engineer. This means you may not need a building consent to build one provided you meet other local council regulations and other exemption criteria. Plans, along with a PS1, are available to help with your consent application should you require one.
Please note that Lifestyle Range models over 30m² may require building consent due to their size, depending on your local council’s regulations.
Superior Weatherproofing
Water is the last thing you want inside your shed. While some sheds have steel channels that allow it to pool and corrode, Duratuf Lifestyle sheds have effective flashings and a large spouting connected to a downpipe for quick discharge or diversion to a water tank.
Structural Timber Framing
Like all Duratuf sheds the Lifestyle Range features a robust timber frame.
This not only gives them a solid structural backbone, it gives you plenty of options when it comes to hanging up tools, or adding shelves and workbenches.
All framing timber is machine gauged, appropriately treated, and sourced from renewable New Zealand pine forests. Roof beams are hi-span structural beams for the ultimate in strength and durability.
Hi Span Laminated Roof Beams
Hi Span Laminated Roof Beams offer unmatched strength and durability, making them the top choice for our Lifestyle Range. Their multi-layered construction provides superior resistance to warping, twisting, and splitting, while allowing for greater design flexibility.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Enhance your Duratuf Lifestyle building with optional extras designed to improve usability, comfort, and everyday practicality. Options such as a solid timber floor or increased wall height allow you to create more usable space and better suit your intended use. Each extra is designed to add genuine, practical value and help tailor your building to fit your lifestyle needs.
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.
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.
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 or cabin, the roller door or ranch slider, or whichever other colour you prefer.
