Every Shedz shed kit is built with genuine COLORBOND® steel by BlueScope — Australia’s leading steel brand, backed by warranties of up to 45 years. With 22 colours to choose from, the right colour does more than look good — it can affect heat absorption, blend with your landscape, and even influence council approval.
Why COLORBOND®?
COLORBOND® steel is specifically engineered for Australian conditions. It’s not just painted steel — the colour is baked onto the surface through a multi-layer process that resists chipping, peeling, and cracking in extreme heat, coastal salt air, and heavy rain.

- Australian-made — manufactured by BlueScope in Port Kembla, NSW
- Up to 45 year warranty — manufacturer-backed warranty on roofing and walling
- 22 colours — curated specifically for Australian landscapes and architecture

How to Choose the Right Colour
Climate Considerations
In hot climates (northern QLD, inland areas), lighter colours like Surfmist and Shale Grey reflect more heat. COLORBOND®’s Thermatech® technology helps, but lighter colours still perform better in extreme heat.
Council & Planning
Some councils require sheds to use colours that blend with the landscape — especially in rural, heritage, or scenic protection zones. Earth tones like Woodland Grey, Pale Eucalypt, and Terrain are safe choices in these areas.
Mix and Match
Most customers choose two colours — one for roofing and one for walling. Popular combinations include:
- Monument roof + Surfmist walls (modern contrast)
- Woodland Grey roof + Paperbark walls (rural blend)
- Basalt roof + Shale Grey walls (contemporary clean)
- Manor Red roof + Dune walls (classic Australian)
