Living on the Gold Coast is living the Australian dream — and the right shed makes it even better. Stockman builds robust, good-looking custom sheds and garages, built to survive and thrive in the coastal climate and last for generations.
Why Choose Stockman Sheds Gold Coast?
Stockman Sheds Gold Coast is here to make your custom shed dream a reality — your local shed builder offering custom-design quality, no matter the type of shed you’re after. Here’s how we do it.
Fully Custom Designed Sheds
Each one of our sheds is uniquely tailored to suit your space and the function you need it for. A triple garage for the Gold Coast property, a gable-roof American barn, or a huge carport — our expert designers will make it happen. Australian-made sheds, made to order.
Built Tough for the Coast
It’s an incredible place to live, but the coastal weather is tough going for sheds. We only use 100% Australian BlueScope Steel and COLORBOND® — already proven to go the distance in tough Queensland conditions — with that COLORBOND® colour palette to match your shed to its surroundings anywhere on the Goldy.
Council Approval, Handled
We take care of all your required approvals from the City of Gold Coast, and build to all the necessary codes and regulations. You end up with a legitimate, legal structure that adds value to your property — no paperwork stress on your end.
Trustworthy Local Builders
As a family-run business, we put our reputation on the line with every shed we supply and build. Stockman Sheds Gold Coast is with you every step of the way, on hand to answer all your questions. Good old-fashioned customer service — that’s how we operate.
DIY Shed Kits Available
Our expert builders will erect your Gold Coast shed to an extremely high standard. If you’re a DIY enthusiast or have another builder in mind, we can ship over your pre-engineered shed kit for your own installation, and stay on hand for any queries during the build.

What Makes This Withcott Shed Stand Out?
Stockman made the entire project feel simple, well-managed and enjoyable. A first-class experience from start to finish.
Stockman made the entire project feel simple, well-managed and enjoyable. A first-class experience from start to finish.
They literally did everything and the whole time had fantastic communication — even sending updated 3D versions when I made changes.
A few things needed discussion along the way, but what impressed me was how they handled everything — openly, calmly and professionally.
Workmanship is outstanding — frame, cladding, slab and finish is top quality. David and Ryan’s willingness to go above and beyond made it easy.
From the first meeting to the finishing point, these guys delivered beyond all expectations — and added great value to our property.
Communication was awesome. Once the shed arrived, it was built in under a week and looks phenomenal.

Got Shed Questions?
How much does a custom shed cost?
As a rough budgeting guide for a full build (shed, slab and install on a standard, level site), most customers end up somewhere around $500 to $800 per square metre.
For example, a 9×9m shed (81m²) typically falls between $40,500 and $64,800 depending on features.

Do I need council approval to build a shed in Queensland?
- Larger than 10m²
- Higher than about 2.4m
- Longer than 5m on any side
- Attached to another building
- Close to services like sewers or stormwater
How close can I build a shed to my fence or boundary?
- Road boundary: minimum 6 metres from the front fence line
- Side and rear boundaries: generally 1.5 metres, but you can build closer if the shed is under 4.5m at the eave and meets fire separation requirements
- Within 1.5m of a boundary: no part of the shed can be higher than 3.5m
Rules vary between councils, so we always check setback requirements for your specific block as part of our design and approval process. Read our shed planning guide for more detail.
What size shed do I need?

Should I get a DIY shed kit or a full build?
Full build is our most popular option. We manage everything — design, council, slab, kit manufacturing, delivery and installation. You get one point of contact and a finished shed handed over ready to use.
Kit only suits owner-builders or customers outside our SEQ build area. You get the full shed kit with all components, fixings, engineering and assembly instructions, ready for your own concreter and installer. We can manufacture and deliver a kit within about 6 weeks.
