FAQ

CKNR Pty Ltd trading as Just Sheds, is QBCC licensed (Lic No: 1061436) to complete your shed, garage or carport from council application to completion. We are not licensed plumbers so we do not undertake any stormwater connection – your downpipes will be installed to ground level only or if you choose, we will supply only. We only use experienced QBCC licensed subcontractors for concreting and erect works as we require a quality finished product at all times.

Yes. All columns, rafters, haunch and apex brackets are pre-punched and ready to bolt together. Furthermore, all products come with an erection guide, bill of materials, and hand drawn pages showing wall girts, roof purlins, door header heights, where to start sheeting on the gable ends, and a slab layout plan. Of course, we are also available for advice as well.

There are 22 modern colours available in the Blue Scope Colorbond Steel Range, as well as standard Zincalume. You can choose different colours for your walls, roof, gutters, flashings, barge, and doors. See the colours available here.

Yes, a full set of engineering drawings (specific to your building) is available to you once we are in receipt of a signed contract and a deposit.
We can also lodge your council application for you if we are doing the build for you.

Yes, our sheds are engineered for A, S or M soil types. Slab and footings engineering for soil types other than these can be arranged if required, but soil testing is generally not required by most councils for a garage slab.

Yes, your shed or carport can be erected on ground level footings or embedded into the footing if preferred.

Each building is designed to be anchored with dyna bolts or hold down bolts or brackets set into the concrete.

As long as we are given accurate heights and widths, we can organise the kit to use your doors and windows.

With most garages, the height is determined at the eave where the roof sheet meets the wall sheet, but your clearance height under you roller door will be considerably less due to the depth of the drum of the door. Below is a guide to garage heights and clearance heights under roller doors.

• Wall 2.4m = Door 2m
• Wall 2.7m = Door 2.3m
• Wall 3m = Door 2.6m

Yes. Unlike many other manufacturers that utilise a smaller end portal frame, our engineering uses the same size portal frame right through, making it very simple to add more portal bays and extend later.

Yes, this is as simple as cutting a neat slot in the wall sheets at each portal frame and inserting a flat plate bracket to pick up the column inside, and bolt the rafter to it outside the wall, extending out whatever width awning you choose.

Yes you can. Our roofs can be 5°,11°, 15°, 22°, 30°, and 45°, as well as the “Mansard” barn roof.  Sheds and Carports can have either gable or Monopitch roofs.

Please note 30° and 45° roofs are supply only kits.

The deposit amount depends on the type of works involved.
If it is Domestic Building Works, the deposit amount is governed by the QBCC – 10% for contracts less than $20000 and 5% for contracts over $20000.
If it is a Farm Shed/Non Domestic Building Works we ask a deposit of 20% of the contract price.

If a Kit Only Sale, we ask a deposit of 30% of the price of your kit.

If you wish to do your own council prior to the order, we will accept a minimum engineering deposit of $1000 with the balance of deposit due prior to ordering the kit.

For kit-only sales, not subject to council approval being completed, there will be a lead time of about 5-8 weeks from order to delivery time. For fully built jobs, the completion time is approximately 5-6 months (depending upon size) from receipt of council approval. Obviously, this may be subject to wet weather delays along the way.

Yes, the Bluescope Steel 15 year warranty applies (with conditions). If your shed or carport is constructed under a Domestic Building Works Contract you will also have the peace of mind of the QBCC Home Warranty Insurance Scheme.
