Duratuf Milford Lifestyle Shed

Customisation & Configuration

The Duratuf Estate Milford Lifestyle Shed offers extensive scope to tailor the look and performance of your building to your property and how you intend to use it.

• Finish choices: Select either Zincalume or coloured steel cladding, then choose from a broad palette of modern colours for the walls and roof.
• Door styling: Match or contrast the roller door colour with your cladding to create a subtle, blended look or a bold feature.
• Roof fall direction: Configure the sloping roof so that it can lean forwards or backwards to suit your site, preferred water runoff direction, and integration with existing drainage.
• Lighting options: Add a clear roof panel to bring natural light into the interior and make it easier to work inside during the day.
• Base and floor setup: Choose between no floor (for concrete pads), timber floor, or plywood floor, and consider the raised floor modification if you are installing the shed on a concrete base.
• Interior fit-out: Take advantage of the full timber frame to line the shed with ply and position tool hooks, shelves, and workbenches exactly where they suit your workflow.

Optional Accessories & Upgrades

Tailor your Duratuf Estate Milford Lifestyle Shed with purpose-designed accessories that enhance usability, durability, and convenience.

• Wall & Roof Colour Options: Choose from a wide range of colours (including Lichen, Ironsand, Karaka, Ebony, Titania, and more) to match your home or landscape.
• Contrasting Door Colour: Select a complementary colour for the roller door to create a feature look or blend seamlessly with your cladding.
• Wooden Floor Options: Add a Timber Floor or Plywood Floor for a solid underfoot surface and easier setup of shelving and storage (or select no floor if fixing directly to a concrete pad).
• 2400mm Roller Door Treadplate: Protects the entry threshold and creates a smoother transition for wheeling in mowers, bikes, and heavier equipment.
• Ground Fastening Kits: Choose a Peg Down Kit or Bolt Down Kit to securely anchor the shed to your chosen base for added stability and wind resistance.
• Clear Roof Panel: Introduces natural light into the shed interior, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
• Electric Roller Door Opener (with 2 Remotes): Upgrade to powered operation for quick, effortless opening and closing of the roller door.
• Lifestyle Downpipe Cover: Neatly covers the downpipe for a cleaner, more finished exterior appearance.
• Shed Alarm MA20: Adds an extra layer of security to help deter theft and protect valuable equipment stored inside.
• Heavy Duty Workbench: Create a dedicated work area inside your shed for DIY, maintenance, or hobby projects.
• Very High Wind Zone Kit: Extra reinforcement components to better suit sites in very high wind areas.
• Coastal Upgrade: Additional protection for more demanding coastal environments.

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.
