Great buying experience and really impressed with the quality of the shed. It’s solid and built to last, and definitely easier to put together with two capable people. The instructions were clear, and the customer service team was fantastic throughout.

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.

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.

Very High Wind Upgrade Kit

Built with safety, strength, and durability in mind, the Lifestyle shed range has a timber-reinforced heavy-duty construction, engineered to NZS 3604 High Wind Zone specification. The Lifestyle shed can withstand most of Mother Nature’s wear and tear, but for those Very High Wind Zone areas, we offer a NZS 3604 Very High Wind Zone shed upgrade kit for Lifestyle sheds, Cabins and Workshops.

For more information regarding wind zones, visit the Branz website.

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.

Coastal Warranty Upgrade

Because we are so confident in the quality of our cladding, we back it up with a 30-year warranty in non-coastal regions (conditions apply).

For those sheds in coastal areas, we also offer a high-durability grade of cladding option for your peace of mind. With an extra thick layer of zinc-aluminium protection, our Coastal grade cladding provides enhanced resistance to the harsh conditions in New Zealand’s coastal environment.
