At Upspec Steel Buildings, our barn-style sheds offer the perfect balance of character and practicality. With their iconic raised centre roof and versatile layout, they’re ideal for everything from vehicle and boat storage to workshops, hobby spaces, and even mixed-use commercial applications. Each barn-style shed is fully customisable, with options for bay sizes, mezzanine floors, doors, windows, and a full range of genuine Colorbond finishes to match your property’s style.
We take care of the entire process from design and council approvals through to construction, so you can enjoy a stress-free build and a shed that’s ready to use from day one. Every barn-style shed we build is engineered to Australian standards and made from quality materials built to handle tough conditions, giving you a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that works for both rural and urban needs.
There is a range of reasons why you would need a shed for your home. Upspec are shed specialists who are highly experienced in designing, engineering, supplying, and constructing sheds specially made for residential properties. Regardless of your purpose, our team can design residential sheds to suit your needs and requirements.
Aside from having additional space in your home, a residential shed can improve your property’s value and curb appeal. In addition, a residential shed can make your property more attractive with the right style, design, and materials.
Of course, you can do many things with your residential shed. For example, you can use it as a space to increase your productivity and efficiency or as an additional space to keep your belongings in order.
A shed is an ideal place to hide belongings that you are not using at the moment. It can also help make your home safer and kid-friendly by providing a secure place to hide your gardening and cleaning chemicals.
A domestic shed is a cost-efficient addition to the living space in your property. What makes it even more practical and convenient is that it is separate from your main house. As such, its construction will not affect your daily activities.
Common uses for our Barn sheds include:
Double or triple garages for cars, boats, trailers, or caravans
Home workshops and trade storage for tools, parts, and machinery
Multipurpose sheds with partitioned bays for different uses
Large hobby spaces for car builds, woodworking or restoration projects
Extra storage for families needing space for seasonal gear or household overflow
We offer a flexible range of design options including various sheeting profiles, a full range of Colorbond colours, and structural choices to suit different site conditions and functional needs.
We also offer a selection of custom architectural & fire rated cladding profiles for a more tailored or high-end finish.

We endeavour to make paying for our products & services as simple as possible. We have a range of payment methods to suit your chosen method of payments including direct deposit, online credit card or bank cheque. We also have finance options through HandyPay
Our payment schedules differ depending on your project type, however, we break up all our payments so you are only paying for what you receive e.g deposit (to book in & procure engineering), manufacture (for manufacture of your structure), delivery (prior to delivery) on frame completion (once the frame is built) & on final completion. We will never ask for full payment of your structure upfront or for any money where you see no value. As the payments are spread out over the duration of the project it makes things easier for your cash flow!
