Australia's best shed and steel building quotation software
Australia's best shed and steel building quotation software
At ShedTech, we understand the importance of engineering excellence in shed and carport design. That’s why our cutting-edge software incorporates an automated engineering analysis engine that instantly calculates a certifiable solution every time you make a change to your shed or carport quote.
The software intelligently selects the lightest portal frame, purlin, and girt options to minimize costs while ensuring structural integrity. You don’t need an engineering degree to leverage our software; we’ve developed it to provide certified answers without overwhelming you with complex details.
However, if you want to delve deeper into the engineering specifics, the section sizes, knee braces, and apex braces (collar ties) used in the design are always visible and displayed in the 3D graphic. If you prefer to avoid knee braces, you can upgrade to a heavier portal frame section that doesn’t require them.
One crucial aspect of the engineering detail is the amount of deflection expected in the shed. All sheds deflect to some degree, and our cold-formed steel sections are designed to be elastic, allowing them to snap back when the load is removed. While deflection doesn’t indicate structural failure, we understand personal preferences, and you can always upgrade to a stronger portal frame if you have concerns about excessive deflection.
ShedTech provides detailed information on dead load deflection (the weight of rafters, roof purlins, roof sheeting, and any additional collateral loads like solar panels) under normal conditions, as well as live load deflection when someone is standing on the roof.
