Shed plans for colourbond shed needed.

**Com_VC** · 21st December 2006, 06:34 PM

Planning to build a colourbond shed based on the ones most shed companys use in either 6mx6m or 6mx7.5m purlin with gable roof

The reason i'm thinking of building it myself is because we already have most of the materials here sitting around.

The council requires proper plans so I was wondering if someone has these available or can advice me where I can get them from for a reasonable price?

Thanks

You should be able to get them from any shed place really.

I got mine from Aussie Made Garages & Barns for a 9mt x 6mt x 2.7mt for $85 I think it was. They are located in Lilydale

so the plans you got are proper engineering drawings?

Yep, right down to the fixtures, bolts and even the slab material.

The reason I got them was so I could submit them to the council for approval of the shed

Can't help with the colourbond. But if I was you I'd just go for plain gal instead. Looks better IMO.

The roofing bloke I worked with a while back mentioned so. And I tend to agree. Colourbond looks fine as long as its not scratched. And its easy to scratch. When it does it looks like crap. No such problems with plain gal.

Alot of councils wont allow you to put up a plain zinc/gal shed... mine wont (not that I would want to anyway

Same here, they said I had to paint mine to get thru the planning dept.
