What is a COLORBOND® shed?

A COLORBOND® Shed is made out of tried and tested COLORBOND® steel, the most well-known and well-respected coloured steel in the country. Any shed made with these components is known as a COLORBOND® shed, which has become a benchmark for Australian quality. Stockman Sheds is proud to use COLORBOND® steel in constructing our custom sheds. This is a product we have full confidence in because it’s designed for maximum durability in harsh environmental conditions. Aussie sheds, built to last.

COLORBOND® sheds - refined durability

Resilience: Crafted with five layers of protection, Colorbond sheds can be trusted to stay the course over many years. The innovative Activate® technology in the metallic coating offers industry-leading resistance to the weather, amplified by a pre-treatment process, a layer of primer and a baked-in topcoat.

Tried and tested: COLORBOND® has undergone a mixture of in-lab and on-site outdoor testing, and perfected over time to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall and hail.

Easy to maintain: It’s easy to keep your Colorbond shed looking good. A simple maintenance procedure of regular washing with cool water will keep them looking schmick!

Agility: Whatever design shed you’re after, or however large, Colorbond Steel can be used in the build. From large farm sheds to custom residential sheds, Stockman can design and build your dream steel shed with this impressive Australian steel product.

The COLORBOND® steel shed colours

Another thing COLORBOND® sheds are renowned for is their vibrant colour palette. There are over 22 standard colours on offer, with the spectrum of choice designed to match any landscape in Australia. These are colours that easily adapt to the surrounds of your property, or can easily match with the colours of your home. Popular shades like Ironstone®, Deep Ocean®, and Woodland Grey® reflect the tones of natural Australia, and there are many other popular colours too, such as Basalt® and Manor Red®.

Frequently Asked

COLORBOND® shed questions, answered

What is COLORBOND® steel?
COLORBOND® is BlueScope Steel's pre-painted steel cladding — the standard wall and roof material on almost every quality Australian shed. It's a multi-layer system: a steel base, an Activate® zinc/aluminium coating for corrosion resistance, then a baked-on paint layer in your choice of colour. The result is steel that's engineered for Australian UV, salt and weather conditions and carries a 30-year warranty.
How many COLORBOND® colours are available?
Stockman builds in all 22 standard COLORBOND® colours — from Surfmist (off-white) and Shale Grey (light grey) through Manor Red, Cottage Green, Pale Eucalypt and Cove (mid-tones) to Monument, Basalt, Woodland Grey and Night Sky (dark/black). See the full palette on the COLORBOND® colours inspiration page, with real Stockman builds in each colour to help you choose.
Will COLORBOND® steel rust?
COLORBOND® won't rust under the BlueScope warranty conditions for at least 30 years. The Activate® coating layer underneath the paint protects the steel even at cut edges and minor scratches. Premature corrosion almost always points to a failure of installation (cladding fixings drilled wrong, swarf left under the sheets) or environmental misuse (severe coastal exposure with the wrong product variant) — not a failure of the material itself.
What's the warranty on a COLORBOND® shed?
BlueScope warrants COLORBOND® cladding for 30 years against perforation by corrosion when used as recommended for the site's environment. Paint film integrity is warranted for 20 years (no flaking, peeling, blistering). On top of that, Stockman adds a 20-year structural warranty on the engineered frame plus our own installation warranty.
Which COLORBOND® colour is best for my shed?
Match either the house roof, the house walls, or the house trim — all three look intentional. Light colours (Surfmist, Shale Grey, Dune) reflect heat and read calmer near a residential home. Mid-tones (Manor Red, Cottage Green, Cove) suit rural or country-Hamptons aesthetics. Dark colours (Monument, Basalt, Night Sky) read modern but absorb more heat — pair with insulation if it's a habitable space. Browse real builds by colour to see the options in real photos.
