Sheds are built on a proper level base with weatherproofed roofing and timber treated for the coastal climate.
Because every shed is built to size rather than supplied as a fixed-dimension kit, it can be designed to fit an awkward garden corner or a specific list of tools and equipment, instead of you working around a standard size.

Our Approach
Why Homeowners Choose Elite Home Finishes
Sheds are built to the size and layout you actually need, not resized from a fixed kit dimension.
We prepare a proper level base before building — the step that determines whether a shed stays square and weatherproof over time.
Timber is treated specifically for East London's coastal climate, not a generic inland treatment spec.

Planning Your Project
What Affects Cost & Timeline

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A steel tool shed typically costs R12,000 – R25,000, and a timber garden shed R18,000 – R50,000+ depending on size and internal fit-out. Foundation choice matters: a concrete slab costs more than timber bearers upfront but keeps the floor dry and is the better long-term option on ground that holds water.
A prefabricated Wendy house is cheaper and quicker, but it's a standard size dropped onto your ground. What we build is measured to your space — fitted to the awkward corner, with the door where you need it, a proper foundation, and a roof pitched to throw water where you want it. It costs more than a prefab and lasts considerably longer, particularly in coastal conditions.
Yes, all our sheds are custom-built to the space available rather than off-the-shelf kit sizes.
Yes — if you need bench space, shelving and power points rather than just storage, we design for that from the start.
Yes — timber is treated and finished appropriately for the salt air and humidity, and we advise on any periodic resealing needed to keep it that way.
