Roof type = aviary style (Gable / Skillion / Flat)
⚠ Flat roofs are not recommended in areas with regular rainfall — water can pool on the roof surface and cause leaks. Best suited to under-cover areas such as carports and undercover parking bays.
Wall height fixed: gable 1960mm · skillion 1960/1810mm
✅ Corner flashing included — any width & length within limits, no size surcharge.

Aviary heights are fixed: 1.95m front / 1.80m back (skillion) or 1.80m all walls (gable/flat).
Front width uses “Width” above; back is narrower unless equal. Triangle sets back to a point (doors on back wall are removed).
Deep Rib / Corrugated: the 3D steel shell and roof follow this L. Trapezoid or triangle plan turns this off. Timber sheds stay rectangular in 3D for now.
Awnings follow the wall line in plan (including trapezoid). With gutters on, the eave gutter is removed from the wall you select and shown on the awning drip edge (front/back too).
Walls
Click on any awning in the 3D view to configure its taper
Enclose awning (applies to each active awning; wall colour)
Adds extra structural strength. Required automatically for large widths, tall gables, or roller doors.
⚠️ Coloured trim adds ~15% to the shed price — this covers flashings, corner caps and fascia. Want to keep it or switch back to standard Zincalume (free)?
Standard corrugated is Zincalume only.
150mm along roof + 80mm down wall — Galvanised, $10/m
Set Right/High overhang to 0 to enable flashing.
Gutters require a minimum wall height of 1950mm
Skylights (+$40 each)

Click the roof in the view → Add skylight, then click a sheet. Click a skylight to remove. Not on first or last sheet; no two side-by-side. Esc exits placement.

Skylight placement is on — click a roof sheet.

Or add from the roof menu — click roof → Add whirlybird. Click it in 3D to remove.

Pick a type, then the 3D tool or a wall click for the menu.

Tip: set to Off to orbit; wall clicks still open the menu.
