We are a building manufacturer and as a result we don’t have a physical display site.
You can put your new SHED SACRIFICE! building on an existing foundation, providing it meets the minimum requirement under the engineering for that particular building’s foundations.
The foundations are an integral part of the over all building performance and normally provide essential strength to the over all structure to ensure it will withstand the required wind load.
If you are unsure, you should consult an independent engineer who can best advise you in this particular instance.
When assembling a steel building we recommend using tradesman quality power tools.
A list of required tools is detailed in the building kit instruction booklet.
An initial fully refundable deposit of $500 is required when you order your building.
We have various easy payment methods you can use including credit card either by phone or fax, cheque or money order or direct deposit into our bank account. Remember, the initial deposit is fully refundable.
We understand that people have may change their mind so we offer a full refund on your deposit in the event you change your mind prior to the commencement of the manufacture of the building. Unfortunately, if the manufacture of the building has been commenced and you change your mind, you will be bound to complete the transaction or pay for the components which have been produced.
You will need to check with your local council regarding any permits which may be necessary to the location for your new building.
You will need to consult your local Building Authority which governs your State or Territory. If you plan to erect the building yourself, you may require to insure the works under an “owner builder scheme”. Similarly, if you employ a builder to erect the building on your behalf, the value of the works may require insurance. Most States and Territories provide different thresholds relating to required building insurance.
Please note that building insurance is different to contents or home building insurance.
There is not one rule for building permits in Australia. As the property owner, you need to check with your local Council or private certifier for all necessary permit information. Height and colour restrictions may apply in some Council areas.
All buildings supplied by SHED SACRIFICE! meet the current strict building standards and details of the Australian Standards which is included on the Engineering for the individual buildings.
Because each product is individually made to order by our Crestmead factory in Brisbane, it takes approximately 3 weeks from the confirmation of the order to despatch.
When the kit is packed in the factory in a manner suitable for both local and long distance transportation and care needs to be taken when transporting the kit from the depot to your site. We will provide details on how the kits should be secured as incorrect positioning of tie down straps may cause damage to certain components which will not be covered under our normal warranty conditions.
All prices quoted include delivery by our national freight partner to their network depots across the country. All efforts are made to have your building kit delivered to a depot location close to you. In some cases, for an additional cost, we will even be able to deliver to your building site.
Your first step is to ensure that all components have arrived. You will receive a picking list and instructions both before the kit arrives as well as a set which will be included in the kit. You need to unpack the kit and check off each component against the picking list to ensure all parts have been included.
We provide you with a fully detailed parts list which has images which cross references to a framing plan. When unpacking the kit, you should use the parts list to ensure that you have the correct components. It usually pays to measure and mark off on the framing plan so you can identify the parts as they are needed.
It is also recommended that you study the instructions, framing plan and part list to familiarise yourself with the way the building is to go together.
If you receive your building and there is something damaged, we have a “no blame” policy and will replace the parts as soon as practical. All we ask is that you can identify the particular part which is damaged and if possible, submit a photograph so we can ensure we order the correct replacement.
Where a part is missing or incorrect, again, we would ask that you identify the part so we can ensure we send out the correct component. This also assists us in our Quality Assurance process for future products.
In the event that a component is missing, you should contact our call centre immediately with the details of the part so we can provide a replacement as quickly as possible.
Some products may need to be cut depending on the particular building you order, however, this is not a normal requirement. If parts are to be cut, full instructions including diagrams are included to assist in making this process easy to undertake.
Each kit comes with full instructions showing step by step diagrams for each stage of the construction process and we provide further phone support through our R&D Division.
SHED SACRIFICE! has a range of skilled members in its team who can assist you over the phone.
SHED SACRIFICE! is a kit supplier allowing us to deliver a quality product at a budget price and is geared for the DIY buyer. We cannot assist in providing building services to you, however, we have developed a network of experience builders who may be able to assist in some regions.
Ask us for a list for your area.
Like any major investment, to prolong the life of your shed, you do need to know how to maintain it on a regular basis. We will provide you with instructions on how to care for your building as part of a care and maintenance program.
We strongly recommend regular washing, especially on the parts not normally washed by rain. These areas include the tops of roller doors and the underside of the gutters. Regular washing prevents the build-up of atmospheric deposits and salt from sea laden air that will reduce the life of your building if they are not washed off regularly. We recommend that gutters are cleaned out at least once a year to help prevent the build up of leaves and dirt that can cause corrosion.
