In a recent blog post, Action Sheds Australia provided their readers a virtual road map for buying a garage or a shed. Action Sheds Australia is ShedSafe certified, which requires them to know all the factors that go into choosing the most appropriate shed for its intended use and the area where it is being erected.

It is a well-known fact that most consumers like to save money, but sometimes an inexpensive shed can both sustain and cause a lot of damage if it is not strong enough to withstand weather that is common to its area. Sheds are a bargain because they are less expensive to erect than wood or brick and mortar buildings, but the wrong shed for the wrong use in the wrong locale is never a bargain for anyone.

Consequently, Action Sheds Australia provided their customers and blog readers with an online guide to buying a garage or shed. The blog post focuses on what they call “nine essential considerations” for those who are thinking of buying a garage or shed.

Some of the considerations are elementary and obvious to most, such as making sure that a shed is large enough for its intended use, or a garage is large enough for the vehicle it is projected to house, but a few of the considerations are things that many people would not think of.

For example, they warn that one should make sure they have their Local Council’s approval before beginning the process of ordering a shed or garage. The post goes on to state that this is necessary because of the gross disparity between regulations in many areas. They also explain their ShedSafe certification, and why it is so important to follow ShedSafe’s recommendations and guidelines.

Other considerations include materials, financing, and whether the owner wants to erect the shed, or have the work done by someone else. These are all important considerations, and the blog post communicates them in no uncertain terms.

According to Max Italiano, owner of Action Sheds Australia, consumers need to be careful when selecting a garage or a shed: “Sometimes, people think they can go down to the store, buy the cheap shed, slap it up in the backyard, and it will be safe and reliable. Sadly, this could not be further from the truth. In a storm, a shed that isn’t strong enough and can turn into a missile, and can damage your house.”

Italiano continued, “We are ShedSafe certified. That means that everyone in the building has to be trained to determine how strong of a shed or garage a person needs when area, terrain, and surroundings are taken into consideration. It also means that our sheds and garages are made of the strongest materials. We have erected sheds that are stronger than houses.”

Italiano added, “Besides knowing how to ensure that your shed is safe, we also know about a lot of the other things involved. Sheds are what we do for a living, and we go out of our way to ensure that every single person who chooses to buy one of our sheds turns into a satisfied customer.”

Italiano concluded, “Go to our blog and read the post. Then, let us take care of it for you.”
