Australian Bluescope Steel Sheds
Bluescope Steel is the owner of COLORBOND®, which is why you'll often hear the two businesses mentioned in the same breath. They've become synonymous with quality building steel, not just locally but around the world too. Decades of innovation and testing means when you build a shed with Bluescope, it's a shed that's going to last. The steel is durable and strong, the colours are resilient and don't wash out. It's a winning formula for consumers looking to invest in a shed for their home or business!

Australian made BlueScope steel
Bluescope has played a huge part in the Australian steel industry for more than 100 years. It’s a locally-owned public company whose reach now extends globally into over 16 countries. A true Aussie success story, and one that is seen as a cornerstone of our building heritage. Everywhere you look, you’ll see Bluescope products - from massive skyscrapers in the city centre to residential homes in the suburbs.
And of course, in our sheds too! Bluescope steel is incredibly strong and durable, bringing flexibility and sustainability to the shed building industry. If you’re thinking of building a shed, don’t settle with anything less from your builder.
Bluescope owns several recognisable brands you’ll come across in the building and shed industry, such as ZINCALUME® steel, LYSAGHT® and COLORBOND®, which is their range of pre-painted steel that we use at Stockman Sheds. Let’s find out more about it.

COLORBOND® sheds: revolutionize your backyard
COLORBOND® represents a combination of steel technologies developed over the years by Bluescope. It’s a revolution in backyard functionality and design, combining exceptional quality steel with a range of colours inspired by Australian landscapes. It’s now moved beyond just being a world-leading building product to become an iconic brand that has shaped our homes and our workplaces, providing practical solutions that allow for maximum aesthetic appeal. Colorbond sheds are a treat for the eyes, one that complies with Australian standards and stands up to the harsh weather conditions we face here. The colours retain their vibrancy over time, the steel retains its strength. Sounds like a perfect match for Queensland! Let’s look at some of the advantages of choosing Bluescope Steel and Colorbond products when building your shed.
BlueScope steel and COLORBOND®: a true blue legacy
Refined over the last few decades, Bluescope Steel and Colorbond have created a building product that stands unmatched in the industry, from the frame to the roof. It’s not just well known amongst builders, it’s become a household name. If you’re building a shed for your home or business, the colour range will provide the aesthetic you’re looking for, matched with the steel you need for longevity and reliability!
Here’s a summary of the reasons we use these materials here at Stockman Sheds:
Tried and tested for Australian conditions
For over a century Bluescope has been adapting their Australian made steel to the harsh Australian climate. You’re guaranteed performance that will suit your location, climate and lifestyle. Corrosion resistant durability for your peace of mind!
Visual appeal
Your steel shed will give you unmatched visual appeal thanks to the wide ranging palette of colours you can choose from. They’re inspired by Australian landscapes, so you’ll find the perfect colour for your storage solution.
Eco-friendly
The longevity of Bluescope Steel helps conserve energy that would be spent maintaining or replacing inferior products. What’s more, the steel is 100% recyclable and contains recycled materials itself.
Easy to maintain
A Bluescope COLORBOND® shed requires very little maintenance. A regular wash of the walls with clean and fresh water will help prolong its life and its looks. That’s all it takes!
Warranty
Bluescope backs up the quality of their product with a solid warranty on the material used in any steel structure. Get in touch to ask our team for more information about the material warranty that will apply to your shed.
Fire and pest resistant
This steel boasts immense structural integrity. It’s not susceptible to termite activity, and is resistant to the immense heat of fires. This is a shed investment for the long term!
