A garden shed sorts out the eternal problem of where everything goes — the mower, the whipper snipper, the bikes, the box of tools that keeps migrating around the garage. Simple Deals stocks outdoor storage across the full range: lockable steel sheds, aluminium and polycarbonate greenhouses, and weatherproof storage boxes and cabinets, from compact 1.2m units up to walk-in sheds and glasshouses, priced from around $230 to $700 and dispatched from our Australian warehouses.
What size garden shed do I need?
Work backwards from what is going in it. A small 1.2m × 1.9m shed swallows a mower, tools and a couple of storage tubs. A 1.95m-wide double-door steel shed fits bikes, a wheelbarrow and shelving with room to move. If you are storing long-handled tools or want to walk in and turn around, look at the larger footprints. Always allow clearance to open the doors fully and to walk around whatever you park inside.
Steel shed, storage box or greenhouse — which suits you?
A steel shed is the workhorse: lockable, weatherproof and built for tools and equipment. A storage box or cabinet is the neat option for a courtyard or balcony — enough room for cushions, pool gear or garden chemicals without a full build. A greenhouse is a different job again, using aluminium framing and polycarbonate panels to hold warmth and light for seedlings and year-round growing. Many buyers end up with a shed for gear and a box for the overflow.
Will it stand up to the Australian weather?
Look for galvanised or powder-coated steel that resists rust, and a metal base or a level concrete slab underneath — anchoring matters in a country that gets both heatwaves and the odd wild storm. Greenhouse buyers should check the panels are UV-stabilised so they do not yellow in our harsh sun. Position the shed on firm, level ground and secure it down before you load it up.

Frequently asked questions
Do garden sheds come with a floor?
Most steel sheds do not include a floor — they are designed to sit on a concrete slab or a purpose-made metal base kit. The product page notes what is included.
Are they hard to assemble?
Most are flat-packed with instructions and need two people, a drill and an afternoon. A level base makes the job far easier, so prepare the ground first.
How is a shed delivered?
Flat-packed to your door Australia-wide. Larger sheds ship on a pallet, so allow space for the drop-off.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — Afterpay, Zip, Klarna and PayPal are all available at checkout, interest-free.
