Duratuf Whitford Lifestyle Shed

Customise the Whitford Lifestyle Shed to Suit Your Property

The Duratuf Whitford Lifestyle Shed is highly configurable so you can tailor access, light and internal space to your site and how you plan to use it. From colour selection to door, window and height options, you can build a shed that fits both your property and your storage needs.

• Colour Options: Choose from Zincalume or a wide range of coloured finishes for the walls and roof, with separate colour selection for the door to match or contrast your home and surroundings.
• Door Configuration: Select a 2400mm or 3000mm roller door and position it in the centre, left or right of the front wall to align with driveways, access paths or available space. Add an optional PA door for everyday entry.
• Windows & Natural Light: Choose the number and type of windows (fixed or opening) to achieve the light and ventilation you want. Optional clear roof panels provide additional overhead daylight.
• Interior Fit-Out: The full timber framing makes it simple to fix tool hooks, shelving and linings such as ply, allowing you to set up organised storage or a lined workshop space.
• Height & Floor Setup: Add extra wall height for more headroom and storage capacity, and consider raised floor modifications when installing on concrete or timber floors to help manage water and avoid leaks.
