A better shed, made right here in the South East.
Every Blackbird shed is welded and fabricated in our own Millicent workshop from Australian BlueScope steel. We can supply the kit, pour the slab, put it up and handle the council paperwork. You deal with local people from the first quote to the last screw.

Why Our Sheds Last
The difference is in the steel.
Plenty of sheds look the same in a brochure. The difference shows up in the connections, the iron and the little details you only notice years later. Here is what comes standard on every Blackbird shed.
OUR STANDARD APEX CONNECTIONWelded Connections
Welded plates, not a bag of bolts.
Our frames arrive with connection plates fully welded on and painted in zinc-rich cold gal. They bolt together quickly with 16mm high-tensile bolts and line up true, no fiddling and no guesswork. Many kit sheds arrive as loose plates and a bag of bolts, and the price tag hides the headache.
- Fully welded base, haunch and apex plates
- 16mm high-tensile galvanised bolts throughout
- Our own patented roof system: framed on the ground, lifted by crane
VERMIN PROOFING DETAILVermin Proofing
Sealed against mice, warranty intact.
Every Blackbird shed comes standard with the only vermin proofing on the market that still meets BlueScope's warranty specifications. Sheds sealed with anything else can void the warranty on the iron. Ours keeps the mice out and protects your BlueScope warranty.
- Standard on every shed, not an extra
- Meets BlueScope warranty specifications
BASE PLATE CONNECTIONAnchored Properly
Bolted into the footing, not onto it.
Our C-section sheds are anchored with two 16mm by 300mm hook bolts, welded together at the correct centres and cast into the concrete footing when it is poured. That is a far stronger hold-down than the surface fixings many competitors use, and it is why our sheds stay put in a South East gale.
- Hook bolts cast into the footing itself
- Fully welded mild steel base plates, zinc-rich painted
OUR MILLICENT WORKSHOPMade Locally
Fabricated by our own team in Millicent.
Your shed is not shipped in from interstate or overseas. It is welded in our own workshop by our own fabricators, from Australian made steel rolled locally in the South East.
- Australian made materials, rolled in the South East
- .42mm BlueScope Trimdek or corrugated iron standard
- The same workshop that fabricates our commercial projects
How Much We Do Is Up To You
Supply and build, or kit only.
Most of our sheds are full supply and build: we handle the kit, the slab, the erection and the council paperwork. If you would rather put it up yourself, a kit delivered to the farm gate is fine by us too.
APPROVALS
The paperwork
First things first: we prepare and lodge your council planning and building applications and chase them so you do not have to.
SUPPLY
The shed kit
A complete, fully engineered kit with welded connections, delivered ready for a fast build.
CONCRETE
The slab
Our concrete crews pour a precise slab, level to the edges, so the shed lasts longer and finishes cleaner.
ERECTION
The build
Our own construction crews put your shed up safely and efficiently, with our own cranes where needed.

From Quote To Keys
What happens after you say yes.
Building a shed properly involves more steps than most people expect. Here is the honest version, so you know exactly where your shed is at, every step of the way.
1
Quote and deposit
You accept your quote, we issue you a deposit invoice, and payment books your shed into the schedule.
2
Site review
We visit your property, look at access and services, and talk through the design on the spot.
3
Architectural plans
Our design office models your shed in detail and sends you a preview to check before anything is locked in.
4
Contract
Formal plans and a clear written contract, signed online. What we are building, in black and white.
5
Council approvals
We lodge planning, building and final development approvals and keep you posted. Councils take time, and we stay on top of them for you.
6
Manufacturing
Your shed is fabricated in our Millicent workshop with the same detailed drawings and systems we use on multi-storey commercial buildings.
7
Slab and site
You organise any earthworks your site needs (we tell you exactly what is required), then our concrete crews pour a precise, level slab ahead of the build.
8
Construction and handover
Our crews erect your shed, finish the flashings and details, and hand over a shed that is ready to use.
How long does it take? From deposit to construction is typically 6 to 8 months for solid steel sheds and 8 to 10 months for C-section sheds, mostly driven by council approval times. We will give you a straight answer on timing with your quote.
