Sheds, garages and steel frames: Southern Downs

We design and build farm sheds, animal shelters, garages and carports for Warwick and the Southern Downs, supply shed kits, and make steel frames and trusses to plan for Warwick builders. Warwick is about 108 km from Crowley Vale by road. Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt get kits delivered, with crews and frames by arrangement.

High, cold country

The Southern Downs is some of the highest country we work in: Warwick sits at about 475 m and Stanthorpe at 815 m, where the July mean minimum is 1.1 °C. Insulated workshops, draught-proof roller doors and, for houses, the NCC thermal break between a steel frame and lightweight cladding all deserve attention on the drawings.

A planning scheme under review

Southern Downs Regional Council is reviewing its planning scheme, with housing and natural hazards among the main themes, and it publishes a building information sheet for Class 10a garages, sheds and carports. The Condamine River flood of February 1976 remains the benchmark for low-lying land in Warwick.
