A Mt Rascal Double Skillion Shed
Our Toowoomba shed building team knocked this double skillion in Mt Rascal out of the park. A fully custom shed designed together with the owners, it’s a statement-making, large shed that complements the epic new home they are building.
A lifestyle enhancer that delivers on so many fronts, this Mt Rascal shed offers space for storage, for work and for hobbies. It takes full advantage of the large block of land it sits on, and with its clean roof lines and modern finish it looks sharp in the process.
From the high ceilings to the excellent drainage and the stellar local raw materials, let’s take a look at the standout features of this double skillion.
Mt Rascal Shed Features
We love building big sheds here at Stockman - large steel structures that weather the Toowoomba climate year after year. Long-term usability is as important as good looks to us - by focusing on the features below we achieve both.
Large Footprint
The bigger the shed, the more you can do with it. This is a large double skillion on a large block of land - it makes sense that the wonders didn’t opt for a small shed. It’s measurements:
12 metres wide x12.28 metres long,
3.93 metres high left skillion
5.3 metres high right skillion
That’s a lot of shed space, with an internal height that made a mezzanine possible. The mezzanine measures in at:
4.8 metres wide x 8 metres long x 2.7 metres high.
Double Skillion Design
How good does that double skillion roof look on this Mt Rascal shed? It’s not just the aesthetics that elevate this shed, there are plenty of functional advantages too. We’ve mentioned the excellent internal height, which allows for vertical usage and good ventilation. The dual sloping roofs also allow water to drain fast after heavy rain. It’s the right balance of form and function.
Multiple Custom Windows
We use Bradnams windows in all our sheds, as they offer plenty flexibility in the size, design and number of windows we add. These owners took full advantage of that, making for one of the most interesting and attractive selection of shed windows we’ve seen in a long time. They let the light flood into the shed, while contributing to its unique look on the outside.
Colorbond® Roof and Cladding
Colorbond® is the steel cladding that’s tried and tested in Australian conditions. It’s strong stuff, and it graces all the walls and roofs of Stockman Sheds. Owners are able to choose from 21 sublime colours that nicely blend into the Australian outdoors, so there’s bound to be one that’s right forn your shed. In this instance, the walls are in Monument, the roof is in Shale Grey and the barges and gutters are in Night Sky.
Dual Steel-Line Roller Doors
What’s better than a Steel-Line roller door? Two Steel-Line roller doors. With each bay having its own roller door access, it’s easy to move vehicles, trailers and tools in and out without any hassle. The shed can be nicely demarcated into usage zones too. Steel-Line doors are reliable and smooth to operate, while being well-suited to sheds that see regular use.
Personal Access Door
Managing foot traffic becomes a lot easier when a personal access door is added for everyday entry. It’s a simple feature that makes a big difference, allowing quick access without opening the larger doors. You end up using them way more than you think you would.
BlueScope Steel Frame
At the core of the shed is a BlueScope steel frame. Australian-made and adapted to our tough conditions, this is a powerful backbone for the shed that will keep it solid for the long term. With BlueScope at its core, this shed will last decades.
Strong Concrete Slab
When you’ve got a big shed, it needs to be built strong from the ground up. The foundation is extremely important, which is why our shed concrete slabs:
Use 32MPA concrete, usually found in bridges and roads.
Have piers under every column.
Have edge beams around the perimeter.
Have rebated edges that the walls sit on.
