Custom Sheds
R&F Steel Buildings designs and constructs custom sheds tailored to client specifications. Using welded and bolted portal frames, these structures ensure durability in cyclonic regions. Clients benefit from end-to-end service including design, council approvals, and installation.
Farm Sheds
Farm sheds are engineered for machinery, hay, or livestock protection. Features include spans up to 24m, drive-through bays, and structural steel upgrades. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, they withstand harsh Australian conditions while maximizing functionality.
Carports
Carports offer protection for vehicles, caravans, or boats. Available in skillion or gable styles with spans up to 12m. Freestanding or attached options include customizable walls, gutters, and COLORBOND finishes for aesthetic and practical needs.
Awning Extensions
Awning extensions expand existing structures with gable or skillion designs. Up to 9m spans and full/semi-enclosed options provide flexible storage or shelter. Matched to existing cladding for seamless integration and enhanced property utility.
Garages
Custom garages accommodate 1-4 bays with options for awning extensions. Designed for residential properties, they feature cyclone-rated frames, roller doors, and eave heights up to 6m. Ideal for workshops, storage, or multi-purpose use.
