Classic Cedar Astor Timber Garden Shed

Customising Your Classic Cedar Astor Shed

The Classic Cedar Astor Timber Garden Shed uses a modular panel design, giving you flexibility to configure the shed to suit your site and storage needs.

• Position doors and windows using the modular panel system, allowing easier reconfiguration if your needs change.
• Select from rustic shingle or contemporary pre-painted Colour Steel roofing in colours such as Karaka, Ironsand, Greyfriars, or Ebony to complement your home and landscape.
• Choose between fixed or opening residential-grade windows in aluminium or timber frames, and specify the number of windows (1, 2, or 3) to match your light and ventilation requirements.
• Add internal workbench and shelving units in different lengths (1.2m, 1.8m, 2.4m) to create a tailored layout for tools, bikes, garden gear, or pool equipment.
• Include clear light roof panels if you want extra natural light without additional wall windows.
• Decide on the floor solution that best suits your base – an optional strong wood floor kit or anchoring systems such as bolt down or peg down kits.
