Duratuf Oxford Lifestyle Shed

Customise Your Oxford Lifestyle Shed to Suit Your Property

The Duratuf Oxford Lifestyle Shed is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor both its appearance and functionality to your site and intended use.

• Roller Door Width & Position – Choose a 2400mm or 3000mm roller door and locate it on the centre, left, or right of the front wall to best suit your driveway or access layout.
• Wall, Roof & Door Colours – Select from a large range of modern colours for the walls, roof, and door to match or complement your home and other buildings.
• Window Configuration – Add multiple fixed and/or opening windows (1–4 of each) to bring in light where you need it and improve ventilation.
• Extra Wall Height – Optional 390mm extra wall height provides more headroom and flexibility for tall shelving, racking, or equipment.
• Lighting & Comfort – Optional clear roof panel increases natural daylight inside the shed.

Together, these options make it easy to configure the Oxford as a dedicated workshop, gear shed, or multi-purpose space that integrates cleanly with 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.
