The team at Steel Chief were a pleasure to work with. They custom designed a shed to fit into an awkward spot in our backyard. Super helpful along the way with lots of advice regarding flooring and accessories. The install team was fantastic, and the whole company was great to communicate with all the way along. Would definitely use them again! Show details

SteelChief Steel Garden Sheds are manufactured extremely well. My shed was made custom to fit my space and match my existing colour bond fence colour. Zero issues with the installation and it fit like a glove. If I had to do it again, I would not hesitate to pick up the phone to the SteelChief team and order another one. Show details

Great sheds. Built fast. Boys delivered on time. Easy as to put up. Especially when they are already built for you. And you just slap the walls up and put the roof on. Great product

After researching many garden shed options, I finally decided on SteelChief. It was a dearer shed, however it did not rely on a cement slab, which was one of my key needs. The customer service was really great. I changed the size and layout several times, and the staff were always accommodating and updated my quote and shed images instantly. At… Read more

installation time, I ran into a height problem with my side gate. Again, Trevor on the installation team found a solution. The actual installation happened on the appointed day and TIME. The installers were very professional and I am VERY happy with my shed.

Great quality and great service from the installation team. Great customisation in the design and quoting process. It costs a bit more than the low-end Bunnings rubbish, but the difference in quality and durability is massive.

If you're tossing up between a Bunnings EasyShed and a SteelChief, go SteelChief, here's why. I originally purchased an EasyShed through Bunnings, thinking I'd save myself a few bucks. Turns out I'd bought an overpriced Milo tin with the structural integrity of a pensioner's erection. Four hours, approximately 700 screws, several questionable… Read more

life decisions and enough frustration to make a grown man cry, and my mate and I had managed to erect just THREE panels. Not the whole shed. THREE PANELS.

To make matters worse, I later discovered the thing only had an N2 wind rating. Given the location of my property, that made it about as useful as tits on a bull. A bloke down my street had already lost his shed during a recent storm. It was an EasyShed and it easily landed in someone else's backyard.

Enter SteelChief. Not only do these blokes manufacture sheds with a minimum N3 wind rating, but they've got a distribution centre in Wollongong, offer customisable designs and you can construct a mock design on their site so you can see what you're buying before you make your purchase.

Their sales team were fantastic. They answered all my questions, accommodated my modifications and even colour-matched the shed to my Colorbond fence. For the first time in my shed-buying experience, I felt like someone actually cared about my satisfaction rather than just taking my money and leaving me disappointed.

If you want to install SteelChief yourself, the panels come pre-assembled so it will be a lot easier and quicker than the hell I went through with EasyShed. I opted to have the SteelChief crew install mine on the concrete slab I'd already laid. The installation was reasonably priced and they were done in under 2 hours. Steelchief was double the price of the EasyShed, however, this thing will last a lot longer and I don't have to worry about high winds or my kid kicking a ball into the panel and leaving a massive dent. The EasyShed panels were really flimsy. I 100% would have fallen through one at some point.

Anyway. Do what you want, but I'm happy.

What a wonderful experience we had with SteelChief.

husband I got Michael's email and together we delegated the change of contact to me for further communication. This was no hassle to Michael and his team and very attentive that it was to be carried out as a surprise install. The installation team arrived exactly on time and were very thorough in communicating every bit of detail of the process. The installation was completed in great time and the birthday boy very happy with his SteelChief custom shed!

Thank you again Michael and team! Will highly recommend SteelChief in future.

The while process, from enquiring online, to getting the shed installed was easy. Communication was good, if at times repeated (I got asked for the same info a few times but no big deal). The wooden floor base is very solid and was great for attaching adhesive vinyl tiles. The team were very helpful and friendly, from the sales reps to the installers. Id highly recommend them to anyone looking for a shed.

After a good deal of research I settled on a SteelChief gable roof garden shed. Whilst SC are in a different cost bracket than many others, it would appear to me that it is a case of "getting what you pay for". Now, I know that old addage doesn't… Read more

always hold true but everything about SC from the initial sales consultant contact, to scheduling and delivery was an absolute stand out. The two installers worked diligently to ensure the shed was erected without issue. The only blemish to the whole process was the concrete slab which was separately contracted albeit following SC's referral. The slab was overall quite well made except for when the shed installers reached one section of the slab, try as they might, they couldn't get the wall to fit snugly. As expected however, SC had my back and they despatched two men who remedied the issue with steel flashing. In summary then, the shed looks great and is the perfect solution to my storage needs. Well done SteelChief I would have no hesitation recommending your company to anyone requiring a quality shed.

 Follow-up  · Update as requested by a few in the PR Community ... 1. Delivery was quite seamless notwithstanding some site access problems. These issues though were sorted quickly and the two installers were first class. 2. SC have many customisation options like window styles, colours and other options such as locking hardware. 3. I chose a concrete slab and… Read more

I ordered a very small shed from this company at the cost of $5,500 because I have an odd shaped block and needed a customised solution. A tradie came to measure up and I told him I wasn’t happy with the angle of one of the walls. He said that was no problem as he can adjust that on the day when he lays the concrete slab. Come the day, I had to go… Read more

out on an errand and the slab was played at the wrong angle and the tradies had gone. When I raised this with the company they said there was nothing in their notes about this conversation, so if I wanted any changes I would have to pay extra. Since the tradie didn’t tell their HO about our discussion, too bad for me. Further the concrete was poorly laid. In places it had oozed out from the frame and in one corner it was not neatly aligned. I raised this with the company but no response. Half way through the project my project manager went to another job, He didn’t answer most of my calls and emails, but I wasn’t allocated a new a project manager, so I would end up repeating my story over and over to various admin staff. So if you don’t want to pay over $5k for a product that was not what you wanted and delivered with poor service, don’t use this company.

I found SteelChief to be a very thorough company experience all round for my garden shed and slab installation. I required a new slab to be laid for the project and struggled to find a shed company that would manage both the concreting and shed… Read more

installation as a whole. From the point of submitting a request on the website, the company reaching out and then having a site visit to confirm the quote it was very straight forward. To be honest when discussing the quote the team offered a lot of thoughts and solutions to complete the works within my price range (given the slope in the yard was a bite more than expected upon site visit). It never felt like they wanted to pad the quote out and overall aimed to provide me the maximum value on the works which made me feel very comfortable with what I was paying and where the shed would be placed.

The automated text/email system to book in a date that suited me was also handy and made it easy to plan when works would take place. I did call the company to clarify some details at one point and it was nice chatting to a local operator who was able to flawlessly answer all the questions I threw at him.

The guys who did the slab and install of the shed were friendly and respectful in leaving the yard without any mess (any leftover concrete from the slab works was collected/removed when they did the shed install) They communicated what was going on really well and completed all the works in a timely manner. I never once felt the need to supervise what was going on as they were professional at all times and they only checked in if they needed something, or to let me know the works were complete etc. Concrete works for the slab maybe took maybe half a day and then a week later the shed install onto the slab was done in under an hour. The way they prebuild your shed to your dimensions allows the install to move a lot quicker as 75% of it is delivered already assembled.

While I appreciate my job was probably a bit easier (being in the open yard etc) the guys I spoke to indicated they took on all sorts of random shed/slab placements so I have no qualms in recommending them to other people who might have a more challenging location for a shed install. Either way they always seemed up front about timeframes and job expectations so I could just go about my day while they carried on doing their works.

 Follow-up  · To follow up on the questions asked: How was the shed's internal space? - I've found the space to be quite generous based on my chosen size. I installed some shelving options and I can easily fit the mower, line trimmer and other garden stuff in there with additional storage options and not struggle to get to any items. I can stand up inside the… Read more

Steelchief delivered the goods from initial website contact to customer service, quotation and installation – After a lot of research, we ordered a carport storage shed from Michael Giancola at Steelchief.

After submitting our initial inquiry, phone and email communication was excellent and a detailed quotation with plans was… Read more

given. They use heavier steel, had a superior frame design, could tailor it to our size requirements and offered a wooden base with a rebated floor to compensate for the sloping concrete carport surface. We took up the offer of installation which included a site visit prior to doing the job. They turned up on time and took under two hours to put in the shed to our satisfaction (thanks, Matt). Although the pre-assembled panel design would allow a two person handyman team to put it up without too much trouble on a level floor, we'd still advise ordering the installation to save time and get a guaranteed result.

Communication with the SteelChief team was fabulous. They answered all my questions clearly and precisely. The concrete base team arrived on time and left the site clean and tidy. The build team were terrific! We've had the shed since February, and it is wonderful. Even through several Brisbane thunderstorms, the shed is dry and sealed. Thanks, team.

"We’ve had our SteelChief shed since 2001. Recently, it needed some TLC, replacing the polycarbonate insert and repairing a couple spots. Alex and the team were great, helping to work through what could be done. I sent some photos, got a quote and the men came out and fixed it, all the problem solved and now it’s ready for another 20 years, good as new. If you want something that will last I highly recommend."

Manufacturing fault = customer's problem – Shed was installed with the latch upside down, meaning I have to use the padlock upside down.

And as a customer there's no better feeling than being thrown… Read more

under the bus when you point out a problem. Now I have to pay out of my own pocket to have a tradie come out and fix it. I can't recommend them to family/friends, as the customer experience is poor.

UPDATE in 2024. A storm demolished the previous SteelChief shed from 2023. The insurer engaged SteelChief for a replacement slab and shed. SteelChief's concretor decided to pour the slab in the rain (so the floor has rain marks), and without the required wall recess as requested prior to pouring. We had to pay a builder to come out and cut the concrete after it had set. Then SteelChief sent the wrong sized shed, despite agreeing to send the same size as previously ordered. When this was pointed out, they refused to accept they'd made a mistake and take it back, so we had to pay for a whole new shed AGAIN. Amazing. When their installers came out the third time to finally install the correct shed they had the nerve to ask if they could take the wrong size shed away. Did they think they could hoodwink me out of a shed for free so they could make some beer money on the side selling it themselves? Or were they going to try and sell it to another customer as if it was "new".

The original review was 2 stars. Update review they now drop to 1 star. Sheds are OK - the service from SteelChief is hot garbage.
