In a country known for its tough climate – and equally tough people – it’s no surprise that Australians expect their buildings to stand up to anything nature can throw at them.
That’s exactly what True Blue Sheds, a proudly Australian-owned company, delivers — durable, reliable sheds built to withstand the extremes of life under the Southern Cross.
Founded more than a decade ago, True Blue Sheds has grown from a small regional operation into a national leader in the design and supply of premium steel shed kits.
With more than 1000 satisfied customers and 26 delivery locations across Australia, the company has made a name for itself by staying true to its roots — supporting local manufacturing, providing top-tier service and engineering sheds to suit every environment from the coast to the outback.
“We’re not just selling sheds — we’re providing protection for what matters most to Aussies: their homes, their farms, their animals and their businesses,” says managing director Ashley Barrett, who has more than 12 years’ experience in the shed industry.
Using 100 per cent Australian-made BlueScope steel and genuine COLORBOND® or ZINCALUME® cladding, every True Blue Shed is engineered for strength and longevity.
Whether it’s a machinery shed on a remote cattle station, a horse stable in the Snowy Mountains or a solar-ready structure on a self-sufficient property, the company’s mission is clear: build it once, build it right and build it to last.
Built for the bush — and beyond
True Blue Sheds offers a vast array of shed solutions designed to meet the unique demands of rural Australia. Their popular farm shed range includes hay storage, open gable sheds, dairy sheds, shearing sheds and heavy-duty machinery sheds.
“Farmers don’t have time for weak structures,” says Mr Barrett. “They need reliability and that’s what we deliver — sheds that go the distance in the most unforgiving conditions.”
Each shed is customisable down to the millimetre, thanks to advanced design software that considers everything from wind region to terrain category.
Customers can choose from various roof pitches, spans from three metres to 25m-plus awnings, insulation, skylights, vermin-proofing and more.
And it’s not just farmers who benefit. The company also supplies custom sheds for residential clients, small businesses, tradespeople, and even off-grid solar installations.
Safe, certified, and fully compliant
True Blue Sheds holds ShedSafe® accreditation, which means every design is independently audited and meets or exceeds the stringent standards set by the Australian Steel Institute.
They also provide free site-specific engineering and all necessary certification documents for council approval.
“Safety and compliance are non-negotiable for us,” Mr Barrett explains. “It’s one of the reasons customers keep coming back. They know we don’t cut corners.”
Supporting local manufacturing
At a time when many competitors are importing cheap steel or outsourcing fabrication overseas, True Blue Sheds stands firm in its support for Aussie-made materials.
“We’re proud to say we only use Australian BlueScope steel — no imports, no compromises,” Mr Barrett says. “It’s about keeping jobs here and delivering a better product.”
This commitment to quality and local sourcing not only benefits the economy, but also ensures consistent performance in Australia’s varied and often extreme conditions.
Custom sheds with personal service
One of the hallmarks of True Blue Sheds is its end-to-end service. From the first phone call to delivery day, customers are supported by a team that truly understands the industry and takes pride in every shed that rolls off the production line.
The company even offers a free online shed designer, a mobile app and the ability to request a no-obligation quote — making it easier than ever to start a project.
“Whether you’re building a backyard workshop or a 25-metre-wide machinery shed, we treat every job with the same level of care,” Mr Barrett says.
Built by Aussies, for Aussies with its blend of cutting-edge design, local expertise, and unwavering quality standards, True Blue Sheds is more than just a supplier — it’s a partner in building the future of regional and rural Australia.
“It’s been incredibly rewarding to see our sheds standing tall across the country,” Mr Barrett reflects. “From Tassie to the Territory, we’re proud to be helping Aussies protect what matters most.”
