Hire an Experienced Garden Shed Installer Nearby

Garden sheds are part and parcel of most New Zealand homes, as they’re ideal for storing garden equipment, tools, and other household items.

While a wide variety of garden sheds are available from suppliers like Bunnings and Mitre 10, the downside is that they mostly come supplied as flat packs, meaning they need to be assembled.

Most of us have heard the joke that IKEA furniture is challenging to put together. However, garden sheds are sizeable and potentially more complex, making them harder for the average DIYer to assemble. Plus, they often require tools that many DIYers don’t have.

The good news is that you can find a garden shed assembler on the Ezy Peazy platform to help you. They have experience assembling garden storage sheds and all the necessary tools to provide a professional assembly service.

Here are some services an Ezy Peazy tasker can offer to help you assemble your new garden shed.

Most garden sheds – especially those purchased from home DIY stores like Bunnings, The Warehouse, and Mitre 10 – come as kitsets. They are easy to transport home but require more advanced DIY skills and tools to assemble. Each garden shed kit will have different requirements, so it’s essential to ensure the assembly instructions are carefully followed.

If you don’t have the right tools, struggle to put smaller kitset items together, or don’t have the time or inclination to do it yourself, there are skilled and experienced taskers on the Ezy Peazy platform ready to help.

They will have done plenty of kitset assemblies before, and as long as you’ve prepped the site and have the kitset ready to go, they’ll have your new shed assembled and ready to use quickly and efficiently.

Two types of flooring can be used for your garden shed: concrete or a wooden kitset floor. If you have decided on concrete, you’ll need to arrange for it to be poured and set before your Ezy Peazy garden shed assembler arrives, as this is not usually part of the service they provide.

If you’ve decided on a wooden kitset floor, you can generally leave this to the tasker you’ve found on the Ezy Peazy platform. Include this in your listing, so they know what to expect when they quote and arrive to do the job.

Before your garden shed assembler arrives, ensure the area is adequately prepared. This includes ensuring the site is clear of clutter, debris, and any trees or plants that need to be removed. If your garden shed is erected on a concrete base, this must be clean and moss free.

It’s also crucial to ensure the surface the garden shed will be built on is level. This includes confirming there are no major bumps in the ground and that it’s not on a slope. If needed, arrange for a tasker to level the site before the shed assembler arrives.

Finally, keep enough space around where the shed is going. A good rule of thumb is to allow an extra 500mm on each side of the garden shed and an additional 500mm above the roof. This will give the assembler easier access to the area and space for manoeuvrability while also making it safer for them to get the job done.

If you don’t do these checks and preparation, the tasker you’ve hired may be unable to complete the job, or they may have to do more work than anticipated, which may affect the price. If in doubt – ask!
