A garage (sometimes called a garage shed)  is a staple of Australian backyards and for a good reason! Not only does a garage protect your car from the elements, but it can also make your yard look more organised and presentable. A garage also provides you with extra storage space as well as a host of other practical benefits. Here are some important things you need to know about installing a new garage.

Why Purchase A New Garage?

Extra Storage Space

A garage makes your yard look presentable by providing storage space for all your gardening equipment. You can also use it to store your bicycle, unused outdoor furniture, or even your kids’ toys, keeping your house and your yard free from clutter.

Protect Your Valuables

Apart from providing extra storage space, a garage shed also protects your car and other valuables from the elements and from potential thieves. As a result, not only can you extend the lifespan of your car, gardening tools and other outdoor equipment, you can also avoid losing them to thieves

Protect Your Kids

Kids are inquisitive by nature. If your lawnmower, weedkiller or other potentially dangerous gardening tools are just lying around, your children might not be able to resist playing with them. A garage helps prevent accidents by giving you a safe place where you can lock up potentially dangerous items.

Where Should I Put My Garage?

You must carefully consider where you place your new garage. You should ensure it will add to the overall look of your yard, not subtract from it, and make sure it doesn’t cover easements or drainage. Other council restrictions must also be considered.

Colorbond Garage Colours

A garage made of Colorbond steel is durable, as well as aesthetically pleasing. Colorbond steel comes in a choice of inspiring colours that are presented in five groups: Contemporary, Classic, Fencing, Ultra and the new Matte finish. These colours are inspired by the colours of Australia, so whatever your colour preferences may be, whether it’s dark, light, bold, or subtle, you can surely find one that will suit your taste and your existing structures.
