Trekk Spaces Shed Range Explained: Match Your Space to Your Life
Choosing a shed sounds simple until you start looking. Suddenly you’re weighing up square metreage, roof styles, pre-primed versus natural timber versus PVC, and trying to picture how a flatpack on a pallet turns into something that fits your life.
Here’s the thing: the “right” shed has less to do with square metres and more to do with who you are and how you use your backyard. So instead of another spec sheet, here’s the range sorted by the person buying it.
The Renter or First Home Owner
You’re not looking to overcommit. Maybe you’re renting and don’t want to invest in anything too permanent, or you’ve just landed in your first place and the backyard is still very much a work in progress. What you need is storage that earns its keep without asking much of you: a straightforward build, a small footprint, and a finish you don’t have to fuss over.
The King Shed is built for exactly this. At 2x1m and just over 2m², its low, long profile runs neatly along a fence or wall, sitting under 135cm high so it stays out of the way rather than dominating a space that isn’t fully yours yet. The Hunter Shed and Derwent, both around 0.8m², are just as fuss free. The Hunter arrives in a natural, customisable finish if you’d rather leave it as is, while the Derwent comes pre-primed for a slightly quicker starting point. Either way, these are quick, simple builds that suit a rental or a first home just as comfortably as a forever one.
Prefer to skip painting altogether? Our PVC range is worth a look too. Weatherproof and low maintenance storage that’s ready to go.
The Busy Family
Life with kids, pets and a full calendar means the backyard collects things fast: bikes, sports gear, the mower, the bins, that thing you swore you’d deal with eventually. What you need is a shed that contains the chaos without eating the whole yard, and doors wide enough that you’re not wrestling a wheelbarrow through a gap one handed.
This is where the Overland, Flinders, Norfolk, Oatlands and Braidwood come in. Ranging from 2.2m² to 4.2m². They’re everyday, practical spaces designed to be used constantly, not admired occasionally. The Overland’s full width double doors and tiltable roof make loading larger items straightforward even in a modest footprint, while the Norfolk and Oatlands offer a bit more standing room for organising as the family’s gear list grows. This is genuinely where most Trekk families land, because it strikes the balance between real capacity and a backyard that still feels like a backyard.
The Hobbyist
For some people, a shed isn’t just storage, it’s the point. A proper workbench, a potting bench with good light, somewhere to disappear into on a Saturday morning. If that’s you, you’ll want a model built to be spent time in, not just opened and closed.
The Kepler (4.24m²) and Grampian (5.28m²) both feature angled roof lines with highlight windows that bring natural daylight into the interior, which matters a lot more once you’re working inside rather than just grabbing the rake. Beechworth (5.85m²) rounds this group out with one of the most generous, walk in footprints in the range. Whether it becomes a workshop, a potting shed, or a proper hobby room, these models are about giving your interests the space they deserve.
The Low-Maintenance Household
If painting, priming and ongoing upkeep sound like the opposite of what you want from a backyard project, our PVC range is worth a look. It’s weatherproof and built to last with none of the maintenance timber can ask for over time, a straightforward option if you’d rather have storage sorted and simply forget about it.
How To Choose
Still torn between the options above? Ask yourself:
- What is actually going in it? – A mower and tools are different to a workbench and hobby gear.
- How much of your yard are you willing to use for a shed? – Measure twice, buy once. It’s the fastest way to rule models in or out for your needs.
- How permanent do you want this to be? Renting or after the simplest possible build? Lean compact and low fuss. Own your place and want zero upkeep long term? PVC is worth a look.
