The Magpie – 3.1 x 3.1 Steel Shed Kit: the full rundown
Built for tools, toys and everything that doesn't fit in the garage. Specs, what's in the box, delivery and how to build it, all below.
Why you'll love itStrong, smart and easy on the eye
Every Nuri starts with a commercial-grade steel frame, roll-formed from BlueScope steel in our Albury-Wodonga factory. It's lighter than timber, stronger and more durable, and termites can't touch it.
The wall frames come with pre-punched pilot holes and are labelled to match your plans, so they screw together with no measuring and hardly any cutting. Everything you need comes in the box: frame, Colorbond cladding, moisture barrier, flashings and every screw. No add-ons to work out.
Your Nuri steel comes with a 30-year warranty, plus 5 years on the whole kit. T&Cs apply. Follow the installation manual closely to keep both valid.

Pick up from us in Albury, or we deliver to your door. The delivery cost shows at checkout, before you pay.
Your local plumber can sort these once the roof is on.
Not supplied. Add them yourself after the build, or ask a local tradie.
It’s a DIY kit. You’ll need a drill, a hammer drill, an angle grinder (to cut the bottom plate out of each doorway) and a helper or two (snacks optional, but recommended).

Build it yourselfIf you can use a drill, you've got this
This is how a Nuri goes up. Shown: a 4 x 3 Nuri shed. Sizes and some steps differ, so always follow the manual for your shed.About a day with 2 people. Stuck? Call 02 6042 4899.
With 2 people, a small shed's frame goes up in about 3 to 4 hours. Allow about a day for a mid-size shed, and a couple of days for the bigger builds.
Before you start
Your concrete slab must be flat, level and the same size as your shed. If you're not sure, ask a local concreter.
Rules depend on your council and the size of your shed. Check before you build.
Don't be a hero: get a licensed electrician or plumber.
Tools you'll need
Tips from the pros
You need at least 2 people. 3 is great. 4 is a party, so bring snacks (it's the law of shed building).
Chalk the outline on the slab and check both diagonals are equal. Square at the start means easy at the end.
Don't stand walls or lay roof sheets in strong wind.
They leave burrs and rust spots. Use tin snips, and brush off the drill shavings as you go.
Every kit comes with a step-by-step manual and plans for your model. Stuck? Call 02 6042 4899 or email hey@buildwithnuri.com.au. Real people, Mon to Fri.

If you can use a drill and have a small amount of experience you should be able to install a Nuri structure by following the instructions. We try to make it as easy as possible, the frame comes with pilot holes and we minimise the amount of cutting you need to do. But of course, having experienced help is always beneficial.
Depending on the quality and integrity of the existing slab. Ideally it is flat and level. Seek advice from a local professional.
Yes! Use the request a quote button, give us as much information as possible and we will design a custom solution for you.
The standard window size we use is 630mm high by 730mm wide.
The windows are designed to be an easy install. Each window comes with an external flashing, simply position the window and screw the flashing into the frame, over the cladding.
Our standard opening for single doors is 2135mm high by 890mm wide. If you would like us to include a prehung door in your quote please request a quote.
The frames are designed to accommodate the type of door that's being installed. If you are installing a double door, the opening will be bigger than a single door. It is difficult to change the door opening size once the frame is built.
Council permit? We've got you.
We supply structural certification for the design, plus all the plans your council will want. Rules vary by state, council and shed size, so check with your local council first, and give us a call if you need a hand.
