Wide Span Sheds is proud to be a ShedSafe accredited steel kit building supplier.
What is ShedSafe?
Wide Span Sheds is proud to advise that our range of steel kit sheds has been certified and accredited as ShedSafe. ShedSafe is the industry benchmark for Australian manufactured steel sheds, and the program reviews the engineering plans and calculations provided by the consulting engineer engaged by the shed supplier.
This thorough review considers the design principles for compliance with the Building Code of Australia. Whilst the ShedSafe accreditation program is yet to be officially rolled out in New Zealand, our pre-engineering uses the same principles of Wide Span Sheds in Australia so you can have peace of mind that your need shed will meet the national standards.
Safety and compliance
Safety is always the number one priority at Wide Span Sheds. We are a family-owned business and understand how important it is to ensure that your family is kept safe. As a result, years of research have been invested into ensuring that our steel building kits withstand the test of time and NZs harsh climate and conditions.
We provide strength in our pre-engineered range of designs through added structural integrity as standard. All Wide Span Sheds structures are supplied with extended purlin and girt overlaps, as well as our unique rafter-over column haunch system. Every structure is designed 'site-specific' taking into consideration factors such as wind region, shielding, importance level, terrain and topography, snow and earthquake loading. Each factor is assessed before designing and quoting your steel building.
Why did ShedSafe form?
With Australia's unpredictable weather conditions, the structural integrity of any building is critical. A number of recent severe tropical cyclones uncovered a large number of buildings that didn't adhere to industry standards, which required the Australian Steel Institute to take action.
The outcome was the formation of ShedSafe, an industry accreditation that provides customers with an assurance that the steel buildings they purchase do in fact adhere to the Building Codes of Australia.
Why choose ShedSafe?
ShedSafe is managed by the Australian Steel Institute, Australia’s peak steel industry body. By choosing a ShedSafe accredited supplier you have the extra confidence that your building design will, in fact, have structural integrity and meet the NCC standards.
