Here's a straight answer. Wide Span Sheds' kit-set sheds in the Essential Range currently price from $27,600 for an 8m x 10m shed up to $82,200 for a 12m x 25m shed, working out to roughly $265 to $390 per square metre depending on size and configuration.
That's kit-set pricing only, excluding GST, foundation, construction, and windows. It's a real starting point, not a shortcut around a site-specific quote.
| Size | Kit-set price* | Price per m² |
|---|---|---|
| 8m x 10m | $27,600 | ~$345/m² |
| 8m x 12m | $29,900 | ~$311/m² |
| 7m x 12m | $30,100 | ~$358/m² |
| 9m x 10m | $34,500 | ~$383/m² |
| 10m x 10m | $38,900 | ~$389/m² |
| 12m x 16m | $50,900 | ~$265/m² |
| 9m x 20m | $51,400 | ~$286/m² |
| 9m x 18m | $55,800 | ~$344/m² |
| 12m x 25m | $82,200 | ~$274/m² |
*Excl. GST. Based on 0.9kPa snow loading and a high wind zone. Not valid north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Wide Span Sheds prices these as kit-set only. That means the figures above don't include:
Site-specific engineering can also move the price, since every Wide Span Sheds build accounts for the wind zone, snow loading, and ground conditions of your actual site, not a generic spec.
Size
Span, length, height and bay count are the single biggest factor. More bays generally means better value per square metre, which is why larger sheds in the table above often price lower per m² than smaller ones.
Materials
Wide Span Sheds builds with New Zealand Steel products including ZINCALUME® and COLORSTEEL®, chosen for durability against NZ's wind, coastal exposure, and rainfall.
Doors and access
Roller doors, sliding doors, personal access doors, and larger openings for machinery all affect the final price. Sizing access to what actually needs to move through it, rather than a standard opening, avoids paying for capacity you don't use.
Site conditions
Ground preparation, site access for construction, wind zone, and snow loading in alpine regions all factor into the final quote.
Engineering and compliance
Every Wide Span Sheds build is engineered to meet local building requirements for its specific location, which is part of why the Essential Range figures are a guide rather than a fixed price.
Lifestyle sheds
3 or 4-bay configurations combining garage, storage and workshop space, commonly used for vehicles, boats, and campers.
Farm sheds
Multi-bay designs built for machinery, feed, and equipment storage, sized to the operation.
Garages and workshops
Triple garages and larger workshop garages, increasingly popular for residential properties needing vehicle space plus hobby or storage room.
