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.

Buying was excellent and assembly went very well. The instructions were clear, though the door was a bit trickier. The youtube videos were really helpful. I was kept informed about delivery and would definitely recommend.

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.
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.
Plywood Floor Kit
Upgrade your Lifestyle Range shed with our Plywood Floor Kit — a strong, reliable base designed for everyday use. This kit provides a solid, level platform that improves durability, keeps your belongings off the ground, and adds a clean finished look inside your shed.
Includes:
Cut-to-size 17mm H3 plywood sheets, ground-treated H4 joists, treadplate roller door threshold, and all required hardware.
Structural Timber Floor
A practical alternative to concrete, these kitsets come with engineered timber joists and bearers, designed for use on timber piles (not supplied). They’re easier to install, cost-effective, and ideal for sloping or uneven ground. Certified designs with PS1s are available, offering flexibility and convenience for your build.
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.
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.
