All our buildings are class leaders. Designed to be dyna-bolted to a level concrete slab or concrete footings, dependability and robustness have always been our focus.Rainbow Garages and Sheds are bolted together with a heavy-duty laser cut folded bracket greatly simplifying construction. We use a minimum C150 C-section purlin as the main portal frames with top hat purlin for the wall and roof girts. All screws and bolts, including dynabolts, are supplied. All exposed screws and rivets are supplied colour matched to the sheeting and flashings.
We use as a minimum 0.42 BMT (0.47 TCT) roofing material (normally corrugated unless otherwise stated). This ensures that the roof is trafficable: a person can walk on the roof without fear of damage and/or falling through. We use a minimum 0.42 BMT (0.47 TCT) low rib wall cladding on the walls for all sheds and garages up to 3.0m. Any wall 3.01m and over we will use high rib wall cladding 0.42 BMT (0.47 TCT). However, if requested we can use 0.42 BMT (0.47 TCT) high rib wall cladding on walls with heights below 3.0m.
Our prices include all gutters, flashings and downpipes (to ground) unless stated otherwise. The price is always for a full Colorbond® finish (roof, walls and trims) unless otherwise stated. Shed kit prices on the ‘standard price list’ include roller doors, engineers plans & specs (Form 35) but no other accessories or extras.
Blue Scope Steel offers a range of warranties (typically 15 years) for materials used in garages and sheds. The latest information on warranties can be found at www.bluescopesteel.com.au
