Skillion Roof Shed in Mt Evelyn

When it comes to building a shed on a rural or lifestyle property, it’s not just about adding extra storage — it’s about creating a functional, durable space that works for your day-to-day needs.

At YV Sheds & Barns, we recently completed a custom 73m² skillion roof shed in Mt Evelyn, designed to deliver both practicality and modern style. Built in just 3 weeks, this project showcases our ability to manage everything from permits through to final construction.

With a dedicated workshop area, storage section, and multiple access points, this shed is built to support long-term use while enhancing the overall functionality of the property.

Getting the Permits Right from the Start

Every successful shed build starts long before construction begins — with the right permits and approvals in place.

For this Mt Evelyn project, all permits were handled by XPermit Building Surveying, ensuring a smooth and compliant process from start to finish.

The project required:

  • Permits for retaining walls
  • Permits for site cut
  • Permits for shed construction

By having everything approved upfront, we were able to move straight into construction without delays, keeping the entire project on track for completion within three weeks.

A Shed Designed for Practical Use

This shed was designed to be more than just a storage space — it was built to function as a working environment.

Project Overview:

  • 73m² Shed
  • Skillion Roof Design
  • 2 Roller Doors
  • Glass Sliding Door
  • Workshop Section
  • Storage Section
  • 3 Week Build Time

Every element of the design was carefully considered to ensure the shed would be practical, efficient, and easy to use on a daily basis.

Site Preparation & Earthworks

A quality shed starts with proper groundwork.

For this project, YV Sheds & Barns completed all excavation and earthworks in-house, including:

  • Site clearing and preparation
  • Excavation to required levels
  • Site cut to create a level building platform
  • Ground levelling and compaction

Handling this stage ourselves ensures complete control over quality and sets the foundation for a successful build.

Retaining Walls & Site Cut

With permits approved, the next step was preparing the land to support the shed.

Retaining walls and site cuts were completed to:

  • Stabilise the ground
  • Create a flat, usable surface
  • Improve site drainage
  • Prevent long-term soil movement

Proper site preparation is essential to ensure the shed remains structurally sound for years to come.

Concreting & Slab Construction

The concrete slab is one of the most important components of any shed build.

Our team completed all concreting works, ensuring the slab was:

  • Level and structurally reinforced
  • Designed for workshop and machinery use
  • Finished to a high standard

This provides a strong, durable base that can handle everything from vehicles to heavy equipment.

Shed Construction – Built for Strength and Style

With the groundwork complete, construction of the 73m² shed moved quickly.

The build focused on delivering a balance of durability, functionality, and modern design.

Key Features:

  • Strong, reliable structure
  • Clean and modern finish
  • Open internal layout with defined zones

The skillion roof design adds a sleek architectural look while also offering practical benefits such as improved drainage and increased internal height.

Access Designed Around Everyday Use

Ease of access is a critical part of any shed design.

This project included:

2 Roller Doors

  • Ideal for vehicle and equipment access
  • Wide openings for convenience
  • Secure and easy to operate

Glass Sliding Door

  • Allows natural light into the space
  • Improves accessibility
  • Enhances the overall appearance of the shed

This combination ensures the shed is both functional and comfortable to use.

Workshop & Storage – A Functional Layout

To maximise usability, the shed was designed with separate zones:

Workshop Section

  • Dedicated area for tools and repairs
  • Space for workbenches and equipment
  • Built for practical, everyday use

Storage Section

  • Keeps equipment organised
  • Reduces clutter in the workspace
  • Improves overall efficiency

This layout allows the shed to serve multiple purposes while maintaining a clean and organised environment.

Benefits include:

  • Modern, streamlined appearance
