Our cedar range comes with all the basics needs to create the lockup shell as shown in the images - doors, windows, hinges etc and all the hardware required to assemble it is included. You can however add several extra options and upgrades, ranging from a floor kit to assembly tools, details provided below on all of these.
Subfloor Kit: Highly recommended. The Floor Kit provides a very strong, long lasting base and also makes the install process very easy as the walls simply locate along the edges of the floor. Has several H4 treated stumps at 75cm long to allow for a slope. Uses water resistant yellow tongue sheeting system as the top surface, you can use as is or add a floating floor on top.
Annex + Deck: Highly recommended (Studios only) The Annex and deck option adds a lot of functionality to your studio. Gives shelter in the rain and a handy place to put a doormat to prevent dust and dirt entering your studio. A place to sit in the sun, place some planted pots and add one of our decorative rainwater tanks.
Extra Opening Windows: The standard opening windows are framed in cedar and use a lightly tinted acrylic, better than glass in many ways and indistinguishable from glass when viewing from inside or out. Comes with internal latches, its a good idea to add some sort of cabin hook so when open they do not move in the wind, we do sell those if needed.
Extra Fixed Windows: A tall, fixed studio window allowing for full outdoor views and letting in plenty of light. Framed in cedar and using high quality acrylic for the pane, better than glass in many ways including strength, meaning these will not be broken in transit or during use. Let us know in the order comments where you want your extra windows, they typically just replace a standard wall panel, these windows come fully assembled, inside a wall panel.
Extra Doors: You can upgrade to double doors or add extra doors elsewhere in the shed/studio. Please note in your order comments where the extra door should go.
Skylight: Adds a translucent roof sheet to the roof, replacing a standard colorbond sheet, using the same profile. Great for artist studios or anyone requiring plenty of natural light. Can make the space hotter in summer, an AC solution can easily overcome that though.
Cedar Roof Lining: The ultimate interior roof lining for your cedar studio is a cedar roof! Cedar will add extra insulation and can be left unstained and will keep its natural cedar look for years as there will be no UV light to fade it.
There are many ways to install this, we simply supply the cedar boards, you will need to trim them to the correct length. Can be nailed directly on top of the roof frame and a trim piece added to cover the edges or can be cut shorter and installed between the roof trusses, add some (42x33mm for example) timber framing behind it that you attach it to with nails. We can supply images of these simple install ideas if needed. A brad nailgun is highly recommended to make the install quick and easy.
Roof Colour: Choose a roof colour from our range, a swatch of colours is shown in the image thumbnails. If you need a colour that is not shown we can order in any colorbond colour that you need also.
Roof Insulation: Recommended Reflective foam cell foil adds an effective heat barrier to your roof, makes a huge difference in radiated temps from the steel roof. Installation takes mere minutes as its simply placed under the roof sheets during assembly.
Assembly Tool Bits: Recommended You will need to drill several 13mm holes in all the floor stumps, our auger bit drills a hole in a 90mm square treated post in about 2-3 seconds, a comparable, standard 13mm twist bit takes 5-10 times as long. Set also includes exact sized driver bits for all the supplied fasteners, an under or over sized driver bit risks rounding off the screw. (We recommend you use a cordless "Driver" instead of a cordless drill for our cedar range, a drill will still do the job but a driver has much more driving force and less "kickback" to your wrist as it uses a hammer action. Talk to us for advice on an affordable driver option if you don't own one.)
Door Handle Upgrade: Highly recommended (Studios only) Our house style, entrance lever is a great addition to your cedar studio. Spring loaded door lever with internal lock snib and 2 provided keys. Looks better than the shed style of standard handle and is of very high quality. Assembly is straight forward, same as any door handle, just requires 2 hole saw holes and it simply screws in. For a tidier appearance the side of the door can be chiseled out to recess the face of the lock. Comes with full instructions on how to do the easy install process.
Also available with this option is an install kit, 2 hole-saws and a forstener drill bit, all the exact sizes you need to make the install of this door handle very easy.
Ornate Hardware: (Sheds only) Upgrade to our cast iron, forged look, hinges and doorbolt. Double powder coated in black with a lifetime guarantee, these really look great against the cedar and add come with all screws etc needed. Includes a combination padlock so there is no key to lose and the entire set is very easy to install. Comes with 3 hinges per door for added strength.
Cabin Hooks: Powder coated, cast iron latches to keep your doors and windows from moving in the wind. High quality and robust.
Cedar Window Planters: Grow some herbs, succulents or flowers on the walls of your shed or studio. Stylish and made from the same cedar as the sheds & studios. Easy to install, supplied uncoated so you can coat in your selected stain or paint. Custom sizes and styles available on request.
Gable Finial: Add a touch of style to your shed or studio with a cedar finial. Handcrafted in Australia with optional laser engraved design. Photos don't do these justice, they look great in person. Easy to install, supplied uncoated so you can coat in your selected stain or paint. A tip is not to pain or stain the engraved area so it keeps its high contrast.
