An iconic Australian product known for its durability and design flexibility, COLORBOND® steel has become a household name in Australia. Evolving into one of the world’s most advanced building materials over the past 45 years, COLORBOND® steel has become Australia’s single most popular steel brand. The reasons for its popularity are based on its sleek and elegant looks as well as its durability and thermal performance. And it’s for this reason that COLORBOND® steel is the product of choice for our sheds.
Here in Australia, our buildings certainly face some pretty challenging weather conditions from extremes of heat and cold, to dust, rain, wind and hail. COLORBOND® steel – it’s been tested for over 45 years in some of Australia’s most extreme conditions. The oven baked finish of COLORBOND® steel resists flaking and blistering in normal weather conditions. Coupled with this, the corrosion resistant ZINCALUME® steel base ensures long life performance.
COLORBOND® steel is available in a range of 22 contemporary colours, which celebrate the natural beauty of the Australian landscape. From our mountains to the outback, from our creek beds to our sand dunes, COLORBOND® steel captures the light and energy that make Australia’s colours so unique. With 22 inspired colour choices ranging from traditional to contemporary, COLORBOND® steel provides the ideal palette from which to create the desired look and feel for your home and garden.
COLORBOND® steel is durable and resilient to Australia’s harsh climate and its long life helps conserve resources and energy that may otherwise be invested in products with a shorter life span. All COLORBOND® steel contains recycled content and is 100% recyclable. In some cases it can be reused without reprocessing, again saving on energy and resource use. It is a lightweight material which can mean a lower cost to transport to site and a lighter roof structure. And it is strong, which means it can help protect your home in stormy weather. Together, COLORBOND® steel’s beauty, strength and environmental performance combine to make it a responsible choice for your future, and the environment.
Simple maintenance of COLORBOND® steel by regular washing with clean, fresh water will not only prolong its life but also maintain its attractiveness for longer periods thus protecting your asset. Applications where the paint finish is naturally washed by rainwater do not usually require this maintenance, e.g. roofing. However, some areas such as wall cladding under eaves, the top of garage doors and the underside of eave gutters are often not washed by rainwater, and so require some attention. Ensure these ‘unwashed’ areas are hosed down at least every six months and more frequently in coastal areas where marine salt spray is prevalent, and in areas where high levels of industrial fallout occur. It is also important to ensure that there is no build-up of debris, such as soil and mulch against COLORBOND® steel products.
If cared for in this way, your building components made from COLORBOND® steel should give many years of easy maintenance life.

Customers can opt for one of twenty-two different colours when selecting materials from the Colorbond collection.
Paler colours tend to absorb less heat than darker shades, which is why many people opt for a pastel-coloured shed. Aside from this consideration, any colour from the range results in an attractive, well-presented shed.
A COLORBOND® shed or garage is built for longevity and can last several decades with proper care. Its steel base provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the oven-baked paint layer offers protection against peeling, fading and general wear from harsh weather conditions. Minimal maintenance, like periodically cleaning areas that aren’t naturally washed by rain, helps keep the structure in top condition. With regular upkeep, your COLORBOND® shed or garage will maintain its strength, appearance and functionality for many years, making it a long-term investment.
Absolutely! Insulating your COLORBOND® shed or garage adds significant benefits, particularly if you use the space as a workshop, office or for other activities where temperature control is important. Insulation helps moderate the internal temperature, making the space cooler during hot summer months and warmer in winter. This not only improves comfort but can also reduce energy consumption if heating or cooling is needed. Additionally, insulation provides soundproofing, reducing external noise and creating a more functional, comfortable interior environment. You can explore insulation options during the design phase to meet your specific needs.
COLORBOND® steel offers outstanding durability, making it ideal for carports designed to withstand harsh climates. The steel’s rust and corrosion resistance ensures your carport will maintain its integrity even in coastal or extreme weather environments. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, COLORBOND® steel supports flexible designs, allowing you to customise the carport to fit your property’s aesthetic. With a range of colours, you can match your carport to your property’s style while enjoying long-lasting protection for your vehicles against sun, rain and wind.
Yes, skylights can be installed in COLORBOND® sheds to allow natural light into the space. Skylights are a great option if you use the structure for work or storage, as they reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. These can be incorporated into the roof design without compromising the structure’s durability or weather resistance. Our team can customise your shed to include skylights, ensuring a balance of light, ventilation and strength.
