DF Sheds LTD sets itself apart from light box-section sheds by using deep, cold rolled, stigma purlins that are stronger than traditional “C” and “Z” purlin designs. This increased strength allows for rafters to be the only support needed for the roof, eliminating the need for post or strut bracing. With no height restrictions, your shed will give you maximum space for your needs. Think more usable space, less cramped attic truss.

Our steel buildings are designed to be built quickly and efficiently. All the column and beam sections come pre-punched with all necessary fixing holes, and all posts, rafters, and plates are pre-punched during manufacturing. This allows for a fast and effective build, with many of our buildings’ structural frames able to be erected in a day. The cladding and trims can then be fitted in a further day or two. While the duration may be slightly longer for more complex structures, our process is still only a fraction of the time taken for traditional “bricks and mortar” constructions.

DF Sheds structures: No fuss, no mess, no heavy foundations. Our lightweight design means no large strip foundations are required, unlike traditional builds or RSJ steel structures. Instead, a simple 6-inch concrete slab with a strength of 35-40 newtons is all that’s needed to bolt our steel buildings down. And if you need help with your base or ground work, our dedicated team is here to assist you. Contact Dean or Gareth to get started today.

Cold rolled steel is the product of choice for many construction applications, including portal frames, because of its superior strength, durability, and surface finish. Compared to other steel varieties, cold rolled steel has a higher tensile strength and yield strength, making it more suitable for specific applications such as construction. Additionally, it has a higher strength-to-weight ratio and is more resilient to corrosion due to its smooth surface finish, making it an ideal choice for long-lasting structures with a life span of 35-150 years.

The benefits of using cold rolled portal frames include increased strength, durability, and thermal performance, as well as improved design flexibility and lower costs. Cold-rolled frames are also easier to transport and install, requiring less maintenance over their lifetime, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice for many construction applications. Purlin frame sheds made with cold rolled steel have a stronger structural design, fewer joints and no welds that can corrode over time, and are easier to assemble than box section sheds, making them a popular choice for many construction projects.
