Duratuf Kiwi MK1A Garden Shed

Customisation & Layout Flexibility

The Duratuf Kiwi MK1A Garden Shed is designed to be configured around your site and how you want to use the space.

• Door Position Options – Choose from multiple sliding door positions (F1, F2, R1, R2, R3) or upgrade to a double hinged door layout (R1.5 + R2.5) to suit paths, fences, or access from the front or rear.
• Window Options – Add fixed or louvre windows (one or two) to bring in natural light and ventilation where you need it.
• Wall Height Choice – Optional extra 200mm wall height for more headroom and better storage of tall items.
• Interior Fit-Out – Combine built-in work benches, heavy duty workbenches, tool boards, and shelving units to create an organised workshop or storage hub.
• Colour Configurations – Select zincalume or one- and two-tone colour schemes, with separate wall and trim/roof colour choices to match your home and landscape.
• Floor & Base Options – Choose a standard wooden floor kit, a raised floor modification for concrete, and appropriate ground fastening kits for your site conditions.

This customisable approach lets you position doors and windows for best access and sunlight, tune the interior for tools, bikes or a work area, and match the shed’s look to your property.

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.

DIY Construction & Assembly

The Duratuf Kiwi MK1A Garden Shed is supplied as a kit and is straightforward to assemble for someone with good DIY skills. The timber framing is precut and ready to nail together, while the wall and roof cladding come as steel sheets with matching flashings, door tracks, and a pre-made door.

If you choose the optional wooden floor kit, the joists and floorboards are precut, with only a few small notches required for the studs. The floor can be nailed together with basic hand tools.

Allow approximately one and a half days for installation for a competent DIYer.
