Questions? We've heard a few.
Here are the questions we get asked most about our DIY steel sheds, cubby houses and studios. Can't find yours? Give us a call or send a message and a real human will sort you out.
Building your shed
How hard is it to build a Nuri shed?
If you can use a drill and follow instructions, you can build a Nuri. Frames come with pre-punched pilot holes and labels to match your plans, and the only cutting is the bottom plate across each doorway. Experienced help is always welcome, though.
How long does it take?
With the slab ready, 2–3 people can put up a frame in about 2–3 hours. For the whole project, allow a full day.
What tools do I need?
A drill, a hammer drill for the slab fixings, an angle grinder to cut the bottom plate out of each doorway, and a helper or two. The full tool list is in the installation manual. (Snacks strongly recommended.)
Do I need a concrete slab?
Yes, build on a level slab. The build times above assume the slab is ready to go.
Are the sizes exact?
Very close. Actual sizes are within 100 mm of the size in the product name. The exact dimensions are in each product's Specs tab.
What’s included
What comes in the kit?
Everything to build the shell: steel wall panels and roof trusses with pre-punched pilot holes, Colorbond cladding, roof sheets and flashings, and all the screws and fixings, plus the installation manual and plans for your model. Not included: doors, windows, the concrete slab and council approval.
Does it come with doors and windows?
No. Your shed comes with framed openings, ready for the doors and windows of your choice from a hardware store or shed supplier. The opening sizes for each model are in its Specs tab, so you can measure before you buy.
Do garages come with a roller door?
No. The garage frame has the opening ready, so you can choose a roller door from a local supplier, who can usually deliver and fit it for you.
Council permits
Do I need a council permit for my shed?
It depends on your state, council and the shed’s size and position. Smaller backyard sheds are often exempt, but always check with your local council before you build. We can provide the plans you need.
Delivery and pick up
How does delivery work?
Two ways: pick up from our Albury warehouse (by appointment), or we’ll deliver it to your door. You’ll see your delivery options at checkout.
How does my kit arrive?
Your kit comes flat-packed, with pre-drilled, labelled frames, so it's easy to unload and sort before you build.
How long until I get my shed?
Usually 2–4 weeks from your order to delivery at your door. If you're picking up from our Albury warehouse, allow about 3 weeks and we'll let you know when your kit is ready.
Strength and materials
Are Nuri frames Australian made?
Every Nuri frame is roll-formed in our Albury-Wodonga factory from BlueScope steel.
What is the frame made of?
G550 steel, 89 mm profile, 0.75 BMT. In technical terms: very strong.
How does it handle wind?
Frames are designed to an N3 wind rating, for winds up to 144 km/h.
Will termites or rot be a problem?
No. Steel doesn’t rot, warp or feed termites.
Can I build near the beach?
Zinc-coated steel can be used beyond 300 m from breaking surf when fully enclosed. Ask us about your spot and we’ll point you the right way.
Warranty and support
What warranty do I get?
Yes, every Nuri kit comes with a 30-year warranty, plus 5 years on the whole kit. Follow the installation manual closely to keep both valid.
Can I get a custom size or layout?
Yes. Add a Colorbond roof, external linings, doors and windows, or design your own in 3D for free.
