Product Overview

The Cardrona Shed is a premium New Zealand-made garden shed designed to provide stylish and secure storage for your property. Built to withstand local conditions, this durable storage shed combines high-tensile steel cladding with a robust timber frame for superior rigidity and weatherproofing.

  • Robust Timber Framing: An innovative timber framing system offers unmatched strength and structural integrity compared to traditional steel channels.

  • Secure Roller Door: A high and wide roller door combines versatility with added security, providing easy access for larger items while keeping valuable gear safe.

  • Superior Weatherproofing: Designed to prevent water pooling and corrosion, the structure includes effective flashings, safety edge corners, and a large spouting connected to a downpipe.

  • Durable Steel Cladding: Constructed with 0.4mm Armorsteel cladding and a multi-layered paint coating, the exterior is tough enough to resist extreme weather conditions.

  • Versatile Interior: The internal timber frame allows for easy installation of shelves, workbenches, tool boards, and hooks to organize the space.

Available Accessories

  • Floor Kit Options (for models under 10 m²): Includes ground treated H4 joists, a treadplate roller door threshold, and all required hardware, with either cut-to-size 17 mm H3 plywood sheets or cut-to-length thick H3.2 timber floorboards.

  • Pedestrian Access Door: An inward-opening door measuring 810mm W x 1920mm H, available in fixed and opening configurations.

  • Aluminium Joinery Window: Measuring 970mm W x 535mm H, available in fixed or opening configurations with the option of single or double glazing.

  • Automatic Door Opener: A remote-controlled kit for convenient access (requires power supply to the shed).

  • Clear Roof Panel: Provides UV-free natural daylight inside your shed, perfect for workshops where light is needed while the door is closed.

  • Coastal Upgrade: Replaces standard cladding with Coastal grade cladding, featuring an extra thick layer of zinc-aluminium protection for harsh conditions.

  • Very High Wind Upgrade Kit: An NZS 3604 compliant upgrade kit for Very High Wind Zones.

  • Snow Load Upgrade Kit: Reinforces the inner roof structure to a 2kPa load rating, designed for higher elevation areas with severe snow to meet NZS 3604 standards.

These sheds are designed to be DIY projects, however we also offer a full install service at fixed prices should you prefer someone else to do this for you. Typically a shed of this size would take one of the installers we use *one day*. See shed options for pricing.
