Advantages of a metal shed

When it comes to the most suitable storage unit on your property, look no further than a metal shed. There are so many benefits associated with a metal storage shed that we are probably just scratching the surface here! Indeed, it doesn’t matter whether you need a small metal shed or a giant metal shed; the advantages abound.

Four advantages of a metal shed

Whatever type of shed you’re after, make it metal, and you’ll never be disappointed. Here’s why:

1. Metal sheds are not as combustible as other shed materials

Here in Australia, we are conditioned to reduce each and every fire hazard on our property, including our storage sheds. A significant advantage of metal is it's not as combustible with fire in comparison to other materials such as timber or plastic. This not only helps protect whatever is stored on-premise but may also help to reduce your insurance premiums.

2. Metal sheds are strong and secure

Whether you have a large metal shed storing valuable farm equipment or a smaller metal bike shed that’s home to your vintage two-wheels, you can sleep soundly at night. Snowy Sheds’ custom-designed steel buildings use only the highest quality Australian building materials. As a result, our metal sheds offer excellent durability, sustainability and premium security features and fittings. Moreover, with warranties of up to 30 years, our ShedSafe™ accredited work is built to last.

3. Metal is low maintenance

Unlike timber, for example, one of the best advantages of a metal shed is its low maintenance. Forget annual re-staining or re-stumping further down the line. Instead, you worry about the upkeep of what is in your shed, not the shed itself! One of our suppliers, Colorbond, recommends washing down your shed every 6 months (refer to Colorbond warranty guide for looking after your metal products).

4. Cost-effectiveness
