About Small Trades
Practical Australian shed-building information for smarter planning, better decisions and real-world projects.
Welcome to Small Trades
Small Trades is an Australian-focused online resource created for homeowners, property owners, farmers, businesses and anyone planning a shed or similar building project.
We provide practical information about sheds, shed kits, farm sheds, industrial sheds, garden sheds, garages, carports and other steel-building solutions. Our goal is to make the planning and research process easier by bringing useful information together in one place.
Our approach is simple: provide useful, straightforward information that helps you understand your options before you plan, buy or build.
What We Cover
Building a shed involves more than choosing a size and colour. Depending on the project and location, you may need to consider materials, pricing, foundations, wind conditions, council requirements, installation, access and long-term use.
Small Trades explores these topics through practical guides and articles covering areas such as shed planning, shed kits, farm sheds, industrial sheds, garden sheds, garages, carports, steel buildings and shed installation.
Built for Australian Projects
Australian building conditions can vary significantly from one location to another. Weather, wind ratings, site conditions, regulations and local requirements can all influence how a project should be planned.
Our content is designed to help readers understand these considerations and identify the questions they should ask before making important decisions about a shed or building project.
