Why SheShed Leads the Pack: Top 3 Backyard Cabin Upgrades for Superior Quality and Durability

When it comes to creating your ideal SheShed, having a sturdy foundation and weather-resilient features is essential. At SheShed, we offer three popular upgrades that ensure your cabin is not only beautiful but also robust and comfortable. Discover how the Steel Foundation Kit, Storm Brace Kit, and Roof Insulation can elevate your SheShed experience.

1. Steel Foundation Kit: The Backbone of Your SheShed

A solid foundation is crucial for any structure, and our Steel Foundation Kit is designed to provide unmatched stability and durability for your SheShed. This kit is particularly beneficial for sloping blocks, ensuring your cabin remains level and secure.

Why Customers Love it

Durability and Strength: Made from zinc-plated, 1.6mm thick steel beams, this foundation kit is built to last, offering excellent resistance to termite and rot damage.
Custom Fit: The beams are pre-cut to match the exact dimensions of your cabin, making installation straightforward.
Easy Assembly: The kit includes all necessary components such as steel posts, fixed pier heads, brackets, and fasteners, along with simple instructions to ensure hassle-free assembly.

It’s This Easy: Build Your Foundation with These Simple Steps

  1. Assemble the Frame: Attach brackets to the beams and connect them.
  2. Install the Posts: Dig holes, insert steel posts, and fit the pier heads.
  3. Fit the Frame: Position the assembled frame on the posts, ensuring it is square and level.
  4. Secure and Concrete: Fix the frame to the posts and concrete them into the ground.
  5. Install Bracing: Add bracing paddles and tubing for extra stability.
  6. Attach Floor Joists: Secure the floor joists to the frame using the supplied batten screws.

By choosing the Steel Foundation Kit, you’re investing in a robust base that ensures the longevity and stability of your SheShed. This kit is an excellent way to save time and money on building from scratch, providing peace of mind that your cabin stands on solid ground.

Price:  Price varies according to cabin type; you can find the steel foundation price for your chosen cabin in the cart of the SheShed product page.

2. Storm Brace Kit: Fortify Against the Elements

For those who live in areas prone to severe weather, the Storm Brace Kit is an essential upgrade. This kit enhances the structural integrity of your SheShed, ensuring it withstands harsh conditions.

How It Works:

  • Reinforced Structure: The kit includes treated timber posts with pre-cut slots, angled brackets, and threaded rods that secure the roof and walls to the foundation, creating a unified and solid structure.
  • Added Security: By anchoring the walls and roof to the ground, the Storm Brace Kit provides extra stability, reducing the risk of storm damage.

What’s Included

The kit includes everything you’ll need including treated timber posts, angled brackets, threaded rods, washers, nuts, and bolts for reinforced stability.

Price: $360

Using the Storm Brace Kit is a proactive step to safeguard your SheShed, ensuring it remains sturdy and intact during extreme weather. This added protection allows you to enjoy your cabin for many years, knowing it is well-protected against the elements.

3. Roof Insulation: Maintain Comfort Year-Round

To make your SheShed comfortable throughout the year, consider our commercial-grade Roof Insulation kit. This high-density foam insulation is designed to be installed underneath the asphalt roof tiles, enhancing thermal efficiency.

Benefits:

  • Improved Insulation: The 40mm insulation foam increases the total roof insulation value to approximately R 3.6, making your cabin warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
  • Unchanged Aesthetics: Installed under the asphalt tiles but above the wooden roof boards, the insulation is hidden from view, preserving the interior's visual appeal.

This roof insulation kit is an optional add-on available for any SheShed Cabin featuring asphalt roof tiles, with pricing depending on the size of the cabin. Our mono-pitch roof cabins all come with roof insulation included.

Price (for apex roof cabins):  Price varies according to cabin type; you can find the price for roof insulation for your chosen cabin in the cart of the SheShed product page.

These cabin upgrades improve functionality and durability whilst ensuring all year-round comfort. At SheShed, offering these high-quality add-ons is part of what sets us apart. Our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is reflected in every cabin, Steel foundation kit, storm brace kit, and roof insulation option we provide. This dedication to quality and durability, backed by our 5-star guarantee, ensures that your SheShed is not only beautiful but also built to last.
