Not sure what's happening with Shed Bonanza at present; I ordered a replacement door for a shed and after months they informed me the suppliers aren't making it any longer. They hassled me to pay for the door and didn't deliver and install another shed i had paid for until I paid for this non-existent replacement door. Weird.
The sales team was so supportive and patient despite some unusual council related delays. They listened to our questions and were thorough and accommodating. Thank you Saba and David - most professional. Show reply
Building this shed has been a dream so getting it right was a big deal to me. I met Saba on day 1 and she was able to put my ideas into a plan and design with amazing proffesionalism. Dealing with Saba and the shed bonanza team throughout the process was great and their communication was always prompt, clear and we always felt supported. The… Read more · 1
shed was built by Bryce and his guys from Coastal Plumb and they did a great job in tricky conditions. I am absolutely wrapped with the quality of materials and attention to detail with the assembly.
I would highly recommend Shed Bonanza.

On 08 September I purchased a garden shed from your Warragul location. I dealt with Matt who patiently led me through my options and walked me through the show room. His advice and detail surrounding my purchase proved excellent. In support of the delivery and installation I agreed to a Sunday option. Installation was completed in a very short… Read more · 1
time. The installer demonstrated a confidence of precise and experienced workmanship. The foundation of my previous shed was utilised and proved excellent. The shed as shown now sits beautifully in my preferred location. An excellent job all round.
Excellent job by Shed Bonanza. I am very happy with my new garage 6m x 7m. Thanks to Marine and team, they were very obliging and flexible. Marine was very easy to work with, prompt in responding to my phone calls and emails. Gordon (superman) who erected the garage all by himself in two days did a fantastic job - thanks Gordon and thanks to Dandenong Team. Show reply
Great service, and shed is perfect. Well constructed. Everything went very smoothly. Thank you! Show reply

I wanted to take a moment to recognise Ash Varkey from Shed Bonanza for the outstanding service he has provided throughout my shed build. Ash has gone above and beyond for me, especially when it came to organising permit changes multiple times, even right up close to the slab pour stage. I know this isn’t always easy or convenient, but he handled… Read more · 1
everything professionally and efficiently, which took a huge amount of stress off me.
I’ll be honest, I’ve changed my mind more than a few times during this process, and Ash has updated my plans for me on multiple occasions without ever making me feel like I was being difficult. He has been extremely polite, patient, and genuinely helpful the entire time. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
Building a shed for the first time can be overwhelming, but Ash made the whole experience feel easy and manageable. His communication has been clear, prompt, and honest from start to finish, and he’s been very understanding of my situation and requests.
If you’re thinking about building a shed, I absolutely recommend Shed Bonanza, and if you get the chance to deal with Ash, you’ll be in very good hands.
Thanks again Ash, really appreciate all the help.

Review of "Shed Bonanza" - Great Sales, Poor Installation Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5 Stars) Product Purchased: Colorbond Skillion Barn 10.5m x 11m I recently purchased a barn style shed from Shed Bonanza, and my experience was a tale of two distinct phases: a fantastic sales process and a subpar installation experience. The Sales and Ordering… Read more
Process (★★★★★ - 5/5) This phase was genuinely excellent. Our sales representative, [Name Removed], was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely responsive. he walked us through every customization option, from foundation type to window placement, and provided clear and comprehensive documentation.
Clarity and Honesty: All costs were laid out upfront with no surprises.
Expert Advice: [Name Removed] helped us select the right size and features for our yard, offering practical suggestions we hadn't considered.
Communication: Scheduling the delivery was straightforward, and we received all necessary permits and pre-installation checklists promptly.
If this review were based solely on the pre-sale experience and customer service, it would be an easy 5-star rating.
The Installation Experience (★★☆☆☆ - 2/5) Unfortunately, once the process moved from the sales office to the build site, the quality dropped dramatically.
The shed delivery was on schedule but there was slight damage to all the wall and roof sheets due to unloading using slings on such heavy groups of sheets.
Communication issues: Dealing with the Technical Construction Coordinator was extremely frustrating. About 2 weeks after delivery of shed materials we were wondering when the install might begin. We reached out to the Technical Construction Coordinator to find a possible start date but there was just no communication from her at all. Eventually we had to call the CEO to find a possible start date. In the end the shed materials sat on the ground for nearly 2 months.
Lack of Professionalism: The installation crew seemed rushed and somewhat inexperienced, they asked for a progress payment after about 4 hours of work which I agreed to pay so I went to the bank to get some cash. I returned with the payment and gave it to them at 12:00pm and within 10 minutes they had packed up and gone (didn't tell us they were leaving). At this stage we were thinking that we had just been scammed. We had no idea if they were coming back the next day or not. It took them nearly one week later to return. this was a common thing only working 1 - 2 days a week. Overall it took them 4 weeks to install.
Final Inspection Issues: The finished shed failed the Certificate of Final Inspection due to the installers not following the building plans. All knee joins were not done properly, the mezzanine floor had to be completely re-installed. Not using the proper nuts and bolts stated by the plans.
Other Issues: Water leaks. Bent top hat. Vibrating flashing on slightly windy days. The rear PA door needs to be re-installed due to movement in knee joins causing out of square. Sloppy finishing around windows and wall ends. Unnecessary drill holes everywhere. Roof sheet damage from walking on during fixing. Over tightening of tech screws. Nuts and bolts left loose. Unlevel columns and beams.
Final Recommendation Shed Bonanza clearly builds a high-quality product, and their front-of-house staff are superb. However, they are significantly let down by their installation teams (I suspect they use outsourced subcontractors with minimal oversight).
To Management: Please invest in better training, stricter quality control checks, and mandatory site inspections for your installation crews. The stress and imperfections from the build process undercut the excellent service provided during the sale.
To Future Buyers: Buy the shed, but be prepared to be highly visible and vigilant during the installation process to ensure the crew completes the work correctly. Learn how to read the plans and make sure the installers follow them.

Shed Bonanza built our garage with quality materials. Managing trades was challenging, but the result was great – My experience with Shed Bonanza began with a phone call to David Idolovich, followed by an in-person visit to their Dandenong South location. Reading other reviews on Product Review helped, but seeing their sheds firsthand gave me confidence in their capabilities over their competitors. We were looking to replace our old, deteriorating shed with… Read more · 1
something more modern and functional. After discussing our options, we settled on a 12m x 6m garage with added features such as a sliding door, windows, and an electric roller door. It was reassuring to know that Shed Bonanza uses high-quality Bluescope steel and Colorbond sheets, ensuring durability.
The project was quite an investment, and managing all the different elements—demolishing the old shed and smokehouse, obtaining building permits, concreting, material deliveries, and stormwater piping—was overwhelming at times. I realised that a more hands-off approach would have been possible for an additional cost, but choosing the more cost-effective route meant we had to be more involved (which we opted to do). I found myself acting as a project manager, coordinating various tradespeople, including plumbers, concreters, assemblers, inspectors, and electricians. Shed Bonanza assisted with the plans (from design to colours, etc), permit applications, and recommendations for assembly and concreting, while we had to source a plumber, electrician, and demolisher on our own.
Initially, I was apprehensive about handling these responsibilities, but David provided useful advice, particularly on finding a demolisher. We eventually found one through Airtasker, which, despite being our first time using the platform, worked out well. The project kicked off in May 2024 with quotes and planning, and most of the construction was completed by December 2024. Additionally, we requested our concreter lay a side path and new concrete in front of the garage to enhance accessibility.
One aspect still pending is the electrical setup, since we opted for a new switchboard in the garage, which is taking time to arrange.
For the garage, one valuable addition was the Vermaseal edging, which prevents water, pests, and debris from entering—an essential feature for any garage build. David recommended it and I wholly agree it was a good investment.
Overall, we are pleased with the outcome. The process had its stressful moments, and the final costs were higher than initially expected, but we were prepared for that possibility. In the end, we are satisfied with the garage and would confidently recommend Shed Bonanza and their team. For those considering a similar project, be prepared for an active role if you choose a budget-friendly approach (even though it is already a very expensive project), but rest assured that Shed Bonanza provides some support throughout the process.

Had a great experience with Rumpy throughout the process from start of getting a quote until purchase the product. Explain well and it was an excellent experience working with him and Shed Bonanza group. Show reply
I have dealt with Saba for over 12 months as we investigated different shed designs and then had to navigate a difficult town planning application as it dragged through council. In all instances Saba responded to all my queries and always responded in a timely manner with a cheerful and respectful attitude. Currently just awaiting building permit so we can finally start construction Show reply

Negative reviews
Had an absolutely terrible experience building our shed with this company. Would not recommend. We spent a lot of money on our shed and when we had issues with our roller door the company was quick to lay the blame on us. It took 12 months to finally get a replacement door but the whole experience left us feeling emotionally and mentally exhausted.
Hi Virginia, We’re sorry to see this review,… Read more
Terrible experience. We requested a new shed to match the existing sheds at our kinder, even providing a photo of the existing shed to quote off. We received a vague quote with no reference to the single hinged door we were to receive in lieu of the roller door it was supposed to have. The shed is flimsy and not really safe or fit for purpose for… Read more
the kinder and now they are saying we have to pay for a new one to have the roller door, or alternatively pay for sliding doors to replace the hinged door, but it is not safe to have sliding metal doors at the kinder. Now the kinder is out of pocket thousands for a shed that is near useless. We will never engage again or recommend Shed Bonanza to anyone. Disappointment is an understatement.
Thank you for your review, Preston, and for bringing… Read more
Shed Bonanza's building process would be the worst experence I have ever had. I bought a 6m x 6m 4 post carport. From initial delivery of the carport, which I had to urgently pay in full for - or the build would be delayed significantly, took 8 months. Materials sat on the ground for 8 months!! The dig for the foundation was done 2 weeks before… Read more
xmas with 600mm wide x 600mm deep holes left exposed over the Christmas break - not good with 2 x 2 year olds over for Christmas Day. An embarrassment. When the instal was started, I had to supervise as nearly every aspect was incorrectly measured.
Bad business = Bad experience.

The service provided to us by Rampy (Shed Bonanza - Baywater), was excellent. Assisted very promptly with the custom design requirement that we needed of the sheds being supplied.
