Why Add a Steel Subframe to Your Trekk Shed 

Here at Trekk, we want to ensure you have everything you need to build your shed, from the moment it hits your doorstep. That’s why we ensure your Trekk Shed has everything it needs, from the correct amount of timber, all the hardware and even a sturdy foundation you can add to your purchase. 

While most people only focus on the walls, roof and style, the foundation of your shed is what can make all the difference to its longevity! That’s where our steel subframe kit comes in.  An optional add on made to fit every Trekk shed model! 

The steel subframe kit available with every Trekk Shed comes with the everything you need to build a sturdy base. The steel subframe is a galvanised steel frame that is designed to perfectly fit your Trekk Shed. The subframe is installed first as the foundation of your shed, from there, your shed is then installed on top of the subframe.  

No matter which Trekk Shed you have, every Steel Subframe Kit is: 

  • Custom fit to your specific model Trekk Shed  
  • Made from galvanised steel that is rust and corrosion resistant 
  • Made for easy installation 
  • Built for strength, stability and durability  

So, whether it’s a Grampian or a Flinders, or any shed in between, there’s a subframe kit designed to match the exact shed. No cutting needed. 

So Why Should I Add a Steel Subframe to my Purchase? 

A level foundation is key, no matter the site. Movement in the ground is one of the most common causes of damage to sheds over time. A steel subframe is one of the best ways to navigate this issue as it keeps your shed up off the ground and away from the movement of the earth, protecting your shed for years to come.  

Our steel subframe is made from galvanised steel and is built to withstand Australia’s tough climate by keeping your shed protected from moisture and movement in the ground. Installing your shed on a steel foundation means you’re providing your shed with a level of protection from the elements, this in turn means less maintenance and hassle for you in the long run as your shed is protected from the ground up!
