Building Tips

Oz-Cover Domestic Garages are designed to offer Versatility, Quality and Value to your investment. Standard Features available...  

SPAN – is adjustable up to 12.200 metres
HEIGHT – is adjustable up to 4.800 metres
LENGTH – is unlimited due to the versatility of our designs.

Portal Frames – A portal frame building consists of frames that span from side to side at regular intervals called “bays”. Our portal frames are manufactured from BlueScope Steel and are Hi-Tensile, Cold formed C & Z Sections. Our strong design ensures a straight roof and wall lines, so your building will stay looking as good as it did the day it was constructed.

Base Plates – are made from Duragal® angle to prevent rusting. They are adjustable to allow for differences in slab levels which is important, especially if organising your own concrete as your building can still be constructed in the right position, even if your concreter gets it a little wrong. The Base Plates are either Dyna Bolted or Chemically Anchored to the Slab for a stronger hold. And if you do organise your own slab, your concreter does not have to ensure the bolts are placed in the exact position when preparing your slab, which is difficult to get right.

Assembly Brackets – are made at our factory in Logan Village from Structural Steel. They are fully welded at the required pitch and bolted to the frame, for a strong and accurate construction. This is why all Oz-Cover buildings come with a 20 Year Structural Warranty!

Roof & Wall Structure – roof purlins and wall gifts are 61mm Tophat Sections up to 1.0mm thick. Because of the correct positioning of purlins in an Oz-Cover Building, the roof is strong enough to walk on, so it is easier and safer to construct and also means you can walk on it later to retrieve the kids’ toys.

Roof Sheeting – All roof sheeting is 0.42 BMT (or 0.47 TCT). With the choice of Dek or Corrugated profiles you will be able to match any existing buildings and achieve the look you’re after (see profile drawings below). And once again, this also ensures it is strong enough to walk on.

Wall Cladding – We use the same materials on the walls as we do on the roof, which means a wall cladding 30% thicker than most other shed brands! Why opt for a lighter wall cladding which is easily damaged, when you can have a stronger wall that will look newer for longer. Wall cladding comes in a choice of either Dek or Corrugated (see profile drawings above).

Ridge Capping – has returns on each side of the capping to reduce water leakage and leaves into the garage. Returns are cut to the appropriate profile of the roof sheeting for a neat and professional finish.

Screws – all screws are colour matched to your chosen Colorbond® colour on the Walls and the Roof. We use only the highest quality screws so the heads on our screws won’t snap off, the points are sharper and the colours true, ensuring your shed comes together well and looks great. They even come with their own guarantee of up to 40 years!

Corner Capping – All corners of the garage are covered with a corner capping, no need to fold sheets around corners. The corner capping and Barge Capping match the profiles used on your shed for the perfect finish!

Flashing – are provided around the Roller Doors, Windows and Glass Sliding Doors to give a safe and neat finish.

Gutter – With a variety of gutter available from Square to the large 7” Quad, you can match your gutter to a nearby building, or if you prefer, our standard 150 Quad High Front gutter (which is used by many house builders) suits most buildings.

Roller Doors – are B & D Door’s high quality Firmadoor®, which ensure a smooth operating life for your door and also come in a great range of colours. B & D Doors also come with their own Warranty!Back to Top
