Steel is a building material well-loved for its strength, cost-efficiency, and design flexibility. Both versatile and durable, steel buildings are increasingly sought after in the market as they can withstand New Zealand’s harsh weather. At KiwiSpan, we have various steel structure types available, so you have the freedom to design what you need. From metal garages and carports to storage sheds and horse stables, we share the range of steel structures you can have on your property.
Garages and carports are essential for anyone wanting to keep their vehicles safe and protected from the elements. Steel carports are durable, easy to construct, and affordable to install. With steel, you can build metal garages or steel carports affordably and efficiently. It’s an economical solution that protects your investments without taking too much time to build.
Whether it be luxury cars or recreational ATVs, you can rest assured your vehicles are safe and secure with a steel garage.
Aside from cars, steel structures can also house other vehicles, such as boats, yachts, and trailers. Steel structures can be made to your vehicle’s exact size specifications, ensuring seamless storage and travel. If you live in a coastal area, you also get peace of mind that your boats and yachts are safe because steel also offers the ideal protection from rust and corrosion.
Steel farm sheds and horse stables are beneficial and practical for farmers and equestrians because steel material can withstand extreme weather conditions. You don’t have to worry about your horses during stormy weather because steel offers a viable home to protect them.
So, if you’re looking for farm sheds, barns, and horse shelters for your property that will stand the test of time, you can’t go wrong with durable steel.
When you need extra room for your tools or machinery, storage steel sheds make the ideal addition to your property. Functional and secure, steel storages offer a dry place to safeguard heavy equipment, machinery, and more.
You may be surprised to learn that there are various structures you can build with steel. Here’s why it works perfectly for so many different applications:
Steel is an efficient material that’s quick to assemble with minimal on-site labour. Because steel is a lighter-weight material, you can create a simple foundation without excavating. You can erect a whole frame in a matter of days.
Steel’s long-spanning ability makes it possible to build open spaces with fewer obtrusive centre poles or knee and apex bracing. With extended steel spans, you can create large open plans that provide adequate space to use to your liking.
Steel is a versatile material that offers builders design freedom in colour, size, texture, and shape. Steel’s malleability enables us to develop cost-effective and innovative shed solutions that cater to your needs.

The list of people who could benefit from having their own workshop is a lengthy one. Whether you’re an avid hobbyist or creating things in the garage is literally how you pay the bills, your life will only be made easier from having a reliable workspace.
The problem is, however, a great workshop is much more than just a space set aside for work. A perfect workshop should be built for purpose, efficiently laid out and containing everything you need to get your work done as effectively as possible.
At KiwiSpan, we believe that the best approach to creating such a workspace is a custom one. When working with a customer, we make sure we get a full understanding of what they want and need, and create a workspace that will allow them to achieve this.
Here are a few things to consider to help determine what you’ll need to create your ideal workspace:
Many shed building companies only offer standardised shed sizes. KiwiSpan, however, allows you to design a shed to whatever size you need. As a bonus, our sheds don’t need a centre pole to remain standing, which means you’ll have more space for fixtures and storage.
Finding the ideal size itself is a bit of a balancing act. You’ll want to ensure that there’s enough space for everything you’ll need (tools, machinery, etc) plus adequate working space for yourself. On the other hand, you’ll have to take into account that most councils require your shed to be spaced its own height in distance from all boundaries on your property (e.g. a 3m tall shed will need to be 3m away from the nearest fence). Aim for somewhere in the middle.
You’ll want to make sure you have all the necessary workspaces sorted too. Even if it’s just a simple workbench, make sure there’s more than enough space to work and play in.
Overestimation of how much space you’ll need is never a bad thing – we speak from experience when we say that none of our customers are ever upset by having too much space.
For those of you with more ambitious projects in mind, you’ll want to take stock of what machinery you’ll need – and whether it requires storage or if it will need to be built into the workshop itself.
Lastly, but absolutely not least – health and safety. Sure, it’s not the most exciting thing to think about, but it’s particularly important when it comes to workshops – be it an emergency off switch or a dust extractor.
After all, the perfect workshop should be one that doesn’t involve injuries right?
