CONSENT-FREE SHEDS

Westen Bay Sheds have expert experience building fully engineered, consent-free sheds that comply with the New Zealand building code and meet New Zealand’s consent-free rules and regulations.

Our consent-free options aim to minimise the red-tape and to save you money and time.

These sheds are built for strength, practicality, and are designed to stand the test of time.

We have a wide range of pre-designed and engineered pole sheds which can be built in rural zones up to 110sqm* or we can assist you with customising your own steel framed building- which can be built in rural and residential areas up to 30sqm- while offering our expert advice and ensuring your shed meets the consent-free criteria.
