Ipswich Shed Goes Big on Space

With big sheds come big possibilities. The more space you have, the more options you’re presented with and the greater the functionality of your shed. If you’ve got the room on your property, you’ll never regret upsizing your shed. 

This Ipswich shed owner did exactly that with this massive steel structure on their Chuwar block. Packed with additional features, it’s got some serious structural strength to go with its expansive footprint. This is a shed that doesn’t just solve a storage problem - it changes this whole property. Let’s take a look at how. 

Strong Ipswich Shed Features

It’s an unmissable Ipswich shed, standing tall and spreading far and wide. Here’s what the owner gets to enjoy every day:

Massive Footprint

We build big Australian sheds here at Stockman, and this one in Chuwar is a prime example. There’s space to park vehicles, put in work benches, partition the interiors and even put up a mezzanine. You’re going to run out of ideas before you run out of room! Its dimensions: 

24.38 metres long x 9 metres wide

Plenty of Internal Height

Measuring 4.5 metres high, the internal clearance makes this shed feel open and easy to move around in. Tall gear fits without fuss and airflow and ventilation is good. Going vertical is a great way to maximise the usable space in a shed. We will often recommend it, particularly to those building on smaller blocks. 

Mezzanine Inside

The 8m x 3.32m mezzanine built inside is the perfect means of maximising all that extra internal height. It adds another layer of storage and workspace without taking up floor area. A mezzanine is a smart investment in a big shed like this one, greatly enhancing the amount of floor space you have to work with. 

Four Large Roller Doors

If you’re going to build big, you need access to match. This shed has four Steel-Line roller doors, making it easy to move gear in and out. Multiple access points also keep the shed practical if more vehicles or equipment arrive later. Steel-Line is our trusted supplier of roller doors, always delivering on quality and specifications. We’d recommend them to anybody. 

Internal Partitions

Internal partitions help organise the shed into zones. One area might be for vehicles, another for tools, another for weekend projects and a fourth for storage. Internal walls are a simple addition that keep your shed tidy and organised, and help you allocate everything it’s own place. 

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors let the natural light flood in and create lifestyle-friendly access points. They give a shed that indoor-outdoor feel. There are two separate ones here, one leading to the covered verandah and a second one on the adjacent wall. Combined, they brighten up the interior and look great in the process. 

Covered Verandah

Running the length of the front of the shed is a covered verandah, which is a favourite feature on rural and semi-rural builds. Ideal for shade, outdoor workspaces and keeping gear out of the weather, it boosts the usability of the structure immensely. It also gives the shed a welcoming front - a nice addition of good looks and practicality! 

BlueScope Steel Frame

Underneath it all is a BlueScope steel frame, the backbone of every shed we build. An Australian product, this steel stays straight, strong, and dependable, no matter the weather conditions it faces. It’s ideal for the heat and storms of the Ipswich climate, and will provide these owners with generations of year-round use. 

Colorbond® Cladding and Roof 

Colorbond® is another Aussie product designed to thrive in our harsh climates. We use this steel for all our cladding and roofing - it has a crisp modern look and is as tough as nails. It won’t warp or fade, and with a choice of 21 sublime colours you’ll definitely find one to match your property and its existing buildings. These owners opted for the Surfmist® tone, which fits into the semi-rural surroundings nicely. 

Extra Strong Brackets

The extra-strong brackets tie everything together and give the shed outstanding rigidity. They don’t get talked about much, but they’re one of the reasons Stockman sheds go the distance. We use more steel in our brackets than competitors out there - it’s these small details that separate a proper build from a budget one.

Solid Concrete Slab

Our concrete slabs are built to take the weight of constant use, year in and year out. From vehicles to heavy equipment and other machinery, they stand up to whatever you throw their way. This reinforced slab is built with high-pressure 32MPa concrete normally found in bridges and roads, and comes with edge beams, piers under every column and rebated edges.
