Duratuf Matakana Lifestyle Shed

Customisation & Configuration

The Duratuf Estate Matakana Lifestyle Shed offers multiple configuration choices so you can match the shed to your property, environment, and intended use.

• Cladding Finish: Choose between Zincalume or a range of popular Colorsteel-style finishes for a look that complements your home.
• Wall, Roof & Door Colours: Mix and match colours for the walls, roof, and door to create a cohesive or contrasting design.
• Roof Fall Direction: Configure the single-slope roof to lean forward or backward to suit your site’s drainage and visual preferences.
• Light Levels: Add clear roof panels to bring natural light into the shed interior.
• Flooring Options: Choose from no floor, timber floor, or plywood floor kits depending on your base type and how you plan to use the space.
• Structural & Environmental Upgrades: Select a Very High Wind Zone Kit or Coastal Upgrade if your property is exposed or in a harsher environment.

With its full timber frame, the shed also readily accepts hooks, shelves, and interior lining, allowing you to further customise the inside layout to suit tools, bikes, or hobby gear.

Optional Accessories & Upgrades

Tailor your Duratuf Estate Matakana Lifestyle Shed with a range of practical accessories to improve usability, durability, and comfort.

• Lifestyle Downpipe Cover: Provides a tidy, finished look around the downpipe and adds extra protection.
• Shed Alarm MA20: Enhances security by alerting you to unauthorised access attempts.
• Heavy Duty Workbench: Creates a sturdy work surface for DIY projects, potting, or organising tools.

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.
