Due to the large size of these sheds, sometimes you will need a DA as well as a BA (which we can handle). However, First Sheds are experts at designing Caravan & Boat Sheds to be exempt from DA so all you require is a relatively straightforward building approval. If you haven’t built on more than 40% of your block, are 6m back from a front boundary, have less than 8m of wall within 900mm of a side boundary, are 3m off a rear boundary, and are less than 3.5m high on the side boundary (1.8m on southern boundary) we might be able to approve your Caravan & Boat Shed as exempt from DA. This saves 4-6 months of time and thousands of dollars. Contact us or request a quote and one of our project consultants will do a thorough assessment of your block.

As there is no standard caravan or boat size, there isn’t really a one-size-fits-all. Minimum dimensions are usually 3m high x 2.75–3m wide for doors and 7–8m deep. Width and length vary depending on how you want to park your caravan/boat and car. Often, sheds are custom designed for extra workshop or storage space. Get in touch to design the perfect shed for your space, needs, and budget.

Yes! Every Caravan & Boat Shed is made to order. We can build non-standard dimensions, add custom windows, doors, insulation, roof pitch, internal walls, and more.

Yes, we can design the shed tall enough to accommodate a hoist, typically requiring an eave height around 4m+ and potential adjustments to roof pitch and slab reinforcement.

You sure can! Often we can get both structures through at the same time on the same approval. We can design multiple projects like a carport, storage shed and a 4 Car car garage to flow seamlessly on your block whilst still allow retaining easement access on your block to ensure approvals flow seamlessly.

A full build can cost $20,000–$30,000 for smaller sheds, and over $100,000 for larger multi-vehicle sheds, depending on size and scope.

Yes! We can design dedicated workshop or storage spaces within the shed to meet your needs.
