Why We Use Steel To Build Our Large Sheds In Perth

When a client comes to us requesting one of our premium large sheds in Perth, we work closely with them to make sure that we provide a customised solution perfectly suited to their requirements and personal preferences, but no matter the colour, function or style, we never stray from using BlueScope Australian Steel.

Why not? In this article, we’re going to be helping you understand why steel is our undefeated top choice for building lasting, high-quality large sheds in Perth including how it compares to other materials, its benefits, and what type of steels we use in our builds.

Why Other Common Shed Materials Won’t Always Work For Large Sheds

High costs

Other shed materials such as wood and pure aluminium can provide the right look but not the right price. The cost of producing a wooden shed can be especially expensive on a larger scale and the durability of these materials doesn’t always pay off the upfront cost in the long run.

Low weather resistance

Wooden sheds are susceptible to dampness and mould in the rainy seasons. Meanwhile, pure aluminium’s relatively low melting point means that it can become brittle during high heat, a risk that should be avoided with our hot Australian summers.

Overall durability

While wooden and pure aluminium sheds are worsened by the weather, other cheaper shed materials such as vinyl (plastic sheds) have low longevity and durability no matter the season. On a large scale, a vinyl shed cannot support itself properly in the long term to be a viable large shed solution.

Aesthetics

Vinyl (plastic) sheds are a cost-effective option but even if it weren’t for their short longevity, they still wouldn’t be a great option for a large shed material due to their lack of aesthetic appeal.

Benefits of Steel For Large Sheds

Strength and durability

Steel large sheds are known for their stand-out durability and longevity. Resistant to weather, pests and a range of environmental conditions, these structures last for years to come with minimal maintenance.

Weather resistance

When you’re building a large shed in Perth, the ferocity of Australian conditions cannot be ignored. Australian-made steel provides great durability no matter the season. Whether it’s heavy winds, rain, hail or the scorching Australian summers, steel provides great durability year-round.

With BlueScope steel cladding, our sheds are also protected from rust and deterioration from coastal humidity and salt spray.

Great colours and customisations

Using steel allows us to offer our large Perth sheds in an extensive range of colours and textures to suit the aesthetics and environment of any property. By using BlueScope Steel we provide sheds that are more than just functional but look good too.

Cost-effectiveness

Steel perfectly balances upfront investment with longevity to provide large sheds that last a long time, at low maintenance with low repairs needed throughout its lifespan. The fire-resistant properties of Steel can also save you money in insuring you’re property and shed as it is viewed favourably by Australian insurance companies.
