About

Small Trades Magazine publishes practical, neutral and up-to-date information about everyday home and small-business trades — including sheds, shutters, blinds, garage doors and related categories. Our articles are written to help homeowners, DIYers and small contractors make informed decisions about buying, installation and maintenance.

What we publish

We focus on clear, evidence-based content in formats that readers find useful: how-to guides, product comparisons, maintenance checklists, and safety notices. Articles aim to explain the tradeoffs, typical costs, and the situations when a licensed tradesperson is recommended.

How we source information

Content is based on a combination of:

• Manufacturer specifications and installation manuals
• Industry standards and local building code guidance where relevant
• First-hand testing and installer input when feasible
• Trusted third-party sources cited within each article

Commercial relationships & transparency

Where we earn income (for example, through affiliate links or sponsored content) we disclose that relationship clearly on the relevant page. Our editorial assessments remain independent and based on evidence and real-world performance.

Corrections & updates

If you spot an error or need an update to an article, please contact us at reach@smalltrades.com.au. We review corrections promptly and record material changes in the article metadata (date and summary of the change).
