Duratuf Benmore Lifestyle Shed

Customise the Benmore to Suit Your Site and Lifestyle

The Duratuf Benmore Lifestyle Shed is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor access, light, colour, and internal use to match your property and how you want to use the space.

• Door size & position: Choose a 2400mm or 3000mm roller door and locate it in the centre, left, or right of the front wall to match your driveway, turning space, or access requirements.
• Additional entry options: Add an optional pedestrian access (PA) door for everyday use without opening the main roller door.
• Windows & natural light: Select from multiple fixed and opening window configurations (1–4 of each) and an optional clear roof panel to bring in more daylight and airflow.
• Colours to match your home: Choose from a wide range of wall, roof, and door colours to coordinate with existing buildings or create a feature structure.
• Interior fit‑out friendly: Full timber framing makes it straightforward to line the interior with ply and to fix shelving, hooks, and storage systems exactly where you need them.
• Roof fall and height options: Configure the mono‑pitch roof to lean forward or backwards and add extra wall height (390mm) if you need additional headroom or vertical storage.
