There’s nothing quite as special as a father-and-son project! Adrian Fowler and his dad recently teamed up for a gorgeous build at his property in Queensland, featuring a custom 10x5m Stratco Gable Shed. The Aussie Instagram star hasn’t had much building experience in his time. Fortunately for Adrian, his father is an electrical engineer and a fantastic builder, creating the perfect opportunity to learn valuable skills under his father's wing. Lets dive in and take a closer look at the shed build!
The Shed Project
The Fowler duo laid out their array of tools and devoted their initial weekend to measurements and assembling gable columns, achieving the feat of erecting two wall bays. This initial phase was dedicated to preparation, ensuring a seamless progression for the next two days.
The second day of the shed build was where the real action happened with huge progress. With the measurements sorted from the day before, they went on to set up the remaining walls and fix in the purlins. Doors went in, roof sheets were attached, gutters and downpipes were set up – It all started coming together and Adrian could see his dream shed coming to life!
Watch the build unfold from start to finish:
Fowler's property is nestled within the breathtaking Queensland rainforest, surrounded by stunning views. To complement the natural beauty of the rainforest, Adrian chose Laserlite® Polycarbonate Roofing. This roofing option ensures ample natural light transmission, allowing the enchanting tree canopy to remain visible from within the garage. Two sliding windows were added to further enhance the infusion of natural light and make the most of the stunning views from the shed.
At Adrian's request, a personal access garage door was seamlessly integrated, connecting to a slope leading to the main house. In the rear of the shed, a sliding door allows Adrian to open it during his gym sessions and enjoy the remarkable surroundings and ventilation. Thanks to our fully customisable gable sheds, we were able to deliver Adrian's dream space for his home gym setup. We even provided a roller door for the garage, spacious enough to house his future boat.
And what's a shed without COLORBOND®? This shed utilised Superdek Wall Cladding, a convenient, durable, and contemporary walling solution. These high-tensile sheets are lightweight, and with a pierced fixed installation, their shed was set up in no time. Coated in an ebony finish, Adrian’s shed exudes an unparalleled aesthetic.
