NZ’s Fastest and Easiest Build-It-Yourself Kitset Sheds!

NZ’s Fastest and Easiest Build-It-Yourself Kitset Sheds!
4:25

At Alpine, we provide the fastest and easiest kitset sheds on the market. Our unique design makes the build process both simple and efficient so that you can easily construct your dream shed.

In this blog we discuss exactly what makes these kitsets easy to build and provide insights from those who have built our sheds before. So, whether you’re embarking on a DIY project or you’re a building professional, here’s what you need to know about Alpine kitsets.

Box Section Rafters

All of our box section rafters are pre-welded with a simple bolt connection. This means you can easily and quickly bolt them together at the apex of the shed. It’s just a matter of lifting and attaching to your poles with one bolt. 

Alongside this, our rafters are pre-cambered which keeps them incredibly strong and straight in the long run - ensuring the longevity of the shed.

Kaiwaka builder Andre Nicolai loves with how simple our box section rafters are, and the way this feature has substantially decreased his construction times.

Hear from Andre below:

 

J-hangers

J-hangers are simple J-shaped brackets that are pre-welded onto the steel rafters, the purlins sit in these cleats and are simply bolted in place. This is a simple and efficient process and can cut your labour requirements in half.

Furthermore, this process removes the need for a second person holding the purlin in place while you fix them.

Beams for the end of gable

Your beams for the end of the gable will arrive at your door plum cut with the correct angle. There is no need for yourself or builders to cut on-site, which makes the beam assembly process very straightforward and ensures your shed can be built efficiently and effectively.

Pre-dried timber

All of your timber will arrive pre-dried and graded. This saves time on-site that would otherwise be spent sorting through the timber. Another perk of pre-dried timber is that it comes to you straight, which makes it easy to line up. It also makes it much lighter to work with which contributes to increased productivity and a safer working environment.

Mike Wright and his team at Mike Wright Construction have been building sheds for various companies for almost 20 years.

Hear from Mike below about the quality of materials and the ease of construction the Alpine kitset provides.


Neatly packed components

Your kitset will arrive neatly packed, with the components grouped together, and packed in the order of when it is needed. For example, the purlins are packed together, girts are packed together, and so on.

Furthermore, you will find the rafter bolts near the top of the kitset, and the cladding screws found near the bottom of the kitset as this is the order in which the shed is built and which you will need the materials.

All of your components will also be labelled, ensuring the materials are easy to find and your job is as simple and quick as possible.

Triple Check System

To ensure everything is included in your kitset, with nothing missing, we have a triple-check system in place for each kit that goes out. Each kitset is checked three times in our yard so that you receive everything you need, clearly labelled, right down to the last bolt. 

You will be provided with all shed components including screws, bolts, nails, and everything else - except for the concrete (and any concrete-related components).

Charlie Johnson says that his kitset arrived with everything he needed and "everything was there, everything was easy." Hear from him below:

 

Easy to follow plans and instructions

Each kitset comes with a clear and easy-to-follow set of plans making every step of the construction process extremely fast. While promoting quick construction times, we do not compromise on accuracy. The precise plans are a simple way to guarantee you both an efficient and meticulous build.

Levin builder Rob Farmer comments on how fast and easy Alpine sheds are to build, here about his experience below:

If you're looking for a kitset shed that is simple, straightforward, and efficient to build, we're here to help.
