Action Sheds Australia Warns Perth and WA Residents to Replace their Barns Before Summer Weather Strikes
Announcement posted by Action Sheds Australia 01 Aug 2013
Supplier and erector of barns in Perth reveals why winter is the most advantageous time to replace an old barn.
Perth, WA, August 1, 2013,- In a recent post on their website, Action Sheds Australia presented its readers information on why old barns and machinery sheds should be replaced in the winter. WA in general, and Perth in particular, have hot, dry summers with severe weather, and mild, rainy winters.
Severe weather in the summer is dangerous for those with old barns or sheds because an old, structurally-compromised building is a lot more likely to sustain severe damage in severe weather than a new, structurally-sound building is.
Consequently, winter is a great time to inspect an old barn for damage. If there is any damage from the previous summer or from age, the barn should be repaired or replaced. For an older barn, replacement is the best option.
Action Sheds Australia is accredited by ShedSafe, which means that they have made a conscious dedication to safety in all of their products. ShedSafe accreditation is difficult to obtain, and it is the benchmark for quality in the shed industry.
Any business that is ShedSafe accredited is required to have trained all of their employees to ShedSafe standards. This means that everyone from erectors to the president or owner of a ShedSafe accredited company is qualified to recommend the safest shed for any particular climate.
ShedSafe uses a climate rating whose main metric is wind speed. Factors that are taken into consideration are climate, topography, geography, terrain and proximity of structures that could mitigate wind speed. When all of the factors are put together, a wind speed coefficient is assigned, and that number is used to determine the appropriate standard for safety.
While the standard judged to be appropriate is recommended, the buyer has the option of selecting an even safer structure if they want.
Action Sheds Australia offers a warranty of 15 years on the cladding and 10 years on the structure of the barn or machinery shed. Perth and the rest of WA have extreme summer climates and require a better than average building to ensure safety and durability.
Max Italiano, owner of Action Sheds Australia, recommends that all barn owners inspect their barns during the winter and make sure that they are in good enough shape to make it through the next summer: “The last few years, the climate has become more extreme in the summer. We are seeing massive amounts of rainfall in one day, cyclones, tornadoes and a spate of bushfires. Even storms that don't qualify as disasters have become more severe and are doing more damage to buildings in Perth and all of WA.”
Italiano continued, “A lot of times, barns sustain subtle damage during one summer, and it compromises them to a point where the next severe weather event causes a lot of damage. We recommend inspecting your barn or machinery shed to make sure that it hasn't sustained any structural damage. We also recommend that you pay special attention to the roof and cladding.”
Italiano concluded, “Don't risk losing your old barn to severe weather next summer. Take advantage of our mild winter climate and replace it with a new barn. Better safe than sorry.”
