Barns & Barn Shed Kits

Industrial strength fiberglass skylight roof sheeting brings natural light into your steel structure with ease. Designed to withstand industrial environments, these durable panels ensure longevity while enhancing your space. 

By harnessing natural light, skylights can help reduce energy costs associated with artificial lighting. They promote a healthier indoor environment by providing ample natural light, which has been shown to improve mood and productivity. The installation of fiberglass skylight roof sheeting can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your steel structure, creating a modern and inviting space.

Adding solar panels increases roof load, wind resistance, and compliance requirements. Wide Span Sheds provides engineering solutions to support solar installations from the outset.

Why it matters:

1. Council compliance: Updated building codes mean councils now scrutinise rooftop solar more closely. Design with compliance in mind to avoid costly changes later.
2. Insurance: Roofs not designed for solar may face insurance issues. Proper engineering from the start improves insurability.
3. Cost efficiency: Retrofitting for solar later is expensive. Future-proof your shed during initial design.

Choose from our premium range of Personal Access (PA) Doors which allow for additional access points in your shed or steel structure.

These doors are typically designed for entry and exit in industrial or commercial settings. They are disability and wheelchair compliant. PA Doors are often installed alongside larger industrial doors and are meant to provide convenient access for personnel without needing to open the larger door. They are required for entry on sheds with domestic or industrial roller doors that are fitted with a chain operation.

Stable style split doors and industrial doors up to 1.1m wide are also available.

Steel sliding doors are a sought-after solution for large sheds such as aircraft hangars, industrial facilities, and garages. Engineered for heavy-duty performance, these doors ensure years of dependable operation, making them an ideal choice for users requiring seamless access for loading and unloading items.

Glass sliding door kits are also available on request 

Wide Span Sheds can allocate space for various sizes of windows and glass sliding doors in your shed design, allowing you to seamlessly source and install through your preferred local supplier.

They allow natural light to enter the shed, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This not only saves energy but also creates a more pleasant and inviting interior environment.

Windows & glass sliding doors can also facilitate airflow, helping to prevent moisture buildup, stale air, and odors, which can be particularly important in workshops or storage spaces.

We supply all of our sheds with roofing paper and offer the optional add-on of COLORSTEEL® DRIDEX® cladding. Dridex®  combines a thin layer of a specialised absorbent fleece to the underside of the COLORSTEEL® sheet, negating the need for traditional underlay roofing and cladding paper. COLORSTEEL Dridex® absorbs accumulating moisture from the roof cavity and then releases it when conditions improve, delivering superior condensation absorption and enhanced ventilation.

We provide metal vermin flashings on all sheds supplied to guard against unwanted vermin entering the building between the sheeting profile and the concrete slab. Vermin flashing are a folded metal flashing connected to the inside of the wall sheeting, and continuing over the slab to eliminate the possibility of vermin entering the building after construction.

Kāhu® is a symmetrical profile designed for the modern day home it offers the same playful lines as the traditional Corrugate profile, its angular form and high ribs create bolder shadow lines for that stronger statement. The high ribs allows Kāhu® to be laid at a lower pitch than Corrugate and is available in both COLORSTEEL® and ZINCALUME® options.

Corrugate profile is cost-effective and versatile, able to handle a wide range of roofing and wall cladding applications. Corrugate profile can also be bullnose curved. Corrugate is available in both Zincalume® and COLORSTEEL® Maxam™.
