Thank you for your enquiry Paula. We cannot identify your job and advise the requirements for your particular building from the name 'Paula T', so please email your enquiry to your appointed Customer Service Representative, or phone the Customer Service Team with your job reference number to hand, and we will confirm the answer to your question. The 'Glossary' in the Construction Manual confirms under 'Bridging' that Mid Span Bracing is fixed to the underside or inside of either purlins, girts or both, and the 'Specification Sheet' in the Construction Plans states which bays are required and the number of (bridging) rows.

We have a 2012 The Valley View kit home which we are trying to erect. On the sections of steel there are letters and numbers but we don't know what they mean. Is there a index for the letters and a plan to erect them.
Hi dlc I'm looking into the valley kit home as well did you have any luck with the letters and numbers Cheers timbo
No luck yet
Thank you for your question DLC. Your Construction Plan Drawings include roof truss and wall panel drawings. Each roof truss drawing includes the truss code, for example ‘Mark As N1, Qty = 7’. The ‘N1’ and the number within the square brackets, that is N1[1], N1[2], N1[3], N1[4], N1[5], N1[6], N1[7], are each printed on a different bundle of steel, and corresponds with the particular truss type and location within the build. Similarly, each wall panel drawing includes the panel code. So, for example, L3 is Wall L3 and N26 is Wall N26, and each panel code is printed on a different bundle of steel. The additional code 'Bp' is printed on some components to distinguish the Bottom Plate from the Top Plate in a wall panel. From initials DLC we cannot identify you so please feel free to email the writer at david.fitzgerald@steelx.com.au and reference 'Valley View Home Enquiry' and we will access your job file and phone you to ensure that we address all of your questions.

Can Wide Span arrange for construction of a Wide Span shed?
They should be able too. Unfortunately I am building in a small rural area, and they didn't have anyone listed. I suggest you ask questions prior to signing kit contract.
I should expand and day they are not construction builders, but they should be able to help you find a builder to construct their kit.
If you buy your shed from their agent in area, the agent will supply and install.
Hi has anyone completed a valley view 345 and what was the approx finish price if you don’t mind me asking. Also did you hire labour or complete most of the work yourself?

I have already put the deposit on a Wide Span kit home. I am not a handy man and to save money I would like to attempt the construction of the building to lockup stage. How instructions to use for a layman?

Do you convert existing sheds or only supply new one's? We are looking at purchasing land which has a recently built dwelling/shed on it which includes bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (council approved). there is 70sqm of shed space left and we would be keen to expand the living areas (second bedroom, larger kitchen).
Thank you for your enquiry Jackie. Wide Span Sheds expertise is the design and supply of pre-engineered rural, industrial and residential steel buildings to meet Australia’s building codes and standards. At Wide Span Sheds we assess a range of variables, including the surrounding terrain and topography, in order to determine the actual site wind speed and the correct engineering specification for the new buildings that we supply.
If you wish to modify an existing building on the land that you are considering purchasing we strongly recommend that you engage a local Structural Engineer or suitably qualified licenced building practitioner in order that they can assess the ‘as-built’ construction of the existing building in conjunction with the modifications that you are planning to make and they will then be in a position to advise you of the options that may be available to you. Wide Span Sheds wish you every success should you go ahead with the project.
Looking to talk to someone who has Built the valley view 345

If you have not already contacted us directly, please feel free to send us an email stating your interest in the Valley View 345 and confirming you contact name and mobile number so we can have somebody with experience in building a Wide Span Home contact you directly. Please use the following email address: customer.service@sheds.com.au. Regards, Wide Span Sheds Customer Service Team
Are Wide Span homes considered to be removable to meet council requirements for a dependent living unit?
Thank you for your enquiry. We understand that conditions and rules on dependent persons units vary between councils and therefore it is best to check with your local council. If the council requires that dependent persons units must be able to be easily lifted and placed on a new site within a short period of time (generally a few days) then you might be best searching for demountable and / or transportable buildings.
Can you erect the sheds and how much? Thank you!
Thank you for your question. Wide Span Sheds expertise is the engineering, manufacture and supply of steel kit buildings, but we can provide administrative support to help our customers obtain quotes from builders with experience in erecting sheds.
Your Wide Span Sheds sales person will be pleased to discuss your project and work with you to develop a quote that will satisfy your technical and budgetary requirements. You can contact us on 1300 94 33 77 anytime between 7.30 am and 5.00 pm (AEST) five days a week and at weekends (see website for opening time) to request a quote, or you can find your Local Agent by visiting www. sheds. com. au / agents and entering your post code.
How do we get help/advise on erecting shed. 27m by 7 roughly and instructions very difficult to follow. Is there a construction advisor or can we pay someone to come and assist the errection process
Hi Kylie - The Wide Span Sheds home page currently references a blog titled 'Are Steel Shed Kits Easy to Erect?' that you may find of interest.
What was you finish price for one of the wide span shed homes?
Hi, my family built the Weekender 85 – N3 – 600 flooring system at Poona in QLD. the kit cost us approximately $30,000. My mother in-law was the owner builder of the project, and we employed a family friend that is a semi-retired builder, understand we had every little experience building a house, however the cost saving benefits for us to manage the project and the ability to negotiate and choose the tradesman we felt most comfortable with was great. We had a budget of $100,000 (including the kit) to full complete the house ready for living. The plans where fantastic and easy to follow, the stud frame is individually pack and clearly marked for each panel and each truss and went together without an issue. From day 1 to completion it took us around 7 weeks to complete, we had no sewer so our budget includes a septic system and 2 x 5000-gallon water tanks (cost was approximately $16,000), also we purchased a lot materials second hand like the kitchen (gumtree). So, all up after everything done and completed we spent between $90,000 and $95,000 for a 3-bedroom 1-bathroom house, I hope this helps you and we love our little weekender. Jeremy
Thanks for sharing this detailed info. It helps greatly.
Hi Jeremy, what sort of flooring did you use?
Anny picture of the weekender
Hello, my wife and I are thinking of a kit home from this company, but after reading some of the reviews we are having second thoughts.
Has anyone had an experience building one of these kit homes, if so could you please inform us of your dealings contract wise, delivery and if it was council approved and delivered on time.
Hi KYLIEWANE, we built on 100 acres so didn't need council approval but contract wise it was great. We had regular email updates as to its progress during manufacturing and all plans and engineering document were posted on their web page accessible by our password. Shed was delivered on time and no hassles with organising the delivery to suit our time schedule. Hope that helps. Cheers Rob
I purchased a shed through them not a home. The build of the shed by Metroll in Lismore was fine and delivery was also not a problem (Widespan don't own a factory). The issue comes if you use their recommended builder. I am still waiting for contact from their installer after recent several promises he would call me. The fact is that Widespan technically only supply the building and distance themselves from any issues with construction by protective clauses in their contract. My experience is that if there is an issue you are on you own and no assistance will be provided by Widespan. This is simply my experience though I'm sure others have had good experiences.
