GREENWOOD WOOLSHEDS AND COVERED YARDS

GreenWood sells NZ-wide from several distribution centres located throughout New Zealand. The location of our distribution centres and sales-support reps enable us to service all corners of the country swiftly and competitively. In some areas of New Zealand, GreenWood is the largest supplier of sheds.

EXTRA WALL FRAMING

Take a good look at a GreenWood shed and you will see we normally add in an extra row of wall framing – to keep your walls straighter and stronger for longer

LONGER CLADDING SCREWS

All the cladding on a GreenWood shed is fixed securely with 65mm screws – no nails and no shorter screws here!

HEAVIER FLASHING AND RIDGING

All flashing and ridging is 0.55mm thick – we don’t use the thinner 0.4mm flashings or ridging which some builders say can be flimsy and bend easily.

“BIRD-PROOF” ROOF FRAMING

All standard GreenWood sheds have our “bird-proof” roof framing system.

BUILDING CONSENT

Application form completed (but councils’ consent fees additional)

HEAVILY BRACED

High strength poles and steel MULTI-Brace roof bracing – we do not use the much lighter and narrower steel STRIP-Brace for roof bracing.

VERY GOOD PRICES

That’s a promise.

NATIONAL COVERAGE

Through our distribution centres around the country we can deliver to any part of NZ, including Great Barrier and Chatham Is.

Experience

Over 19 years we have always maintained our commitment to designing and supplying very strong, very durable buildings. Even during a recession, our commitment remains firm in delivering a high level of structural integrity in all our GreenWood buildings.
