A TOTALSPAN SHED: SPACE BEYOND THE HOUSE
For many people who move to a lifestyle property the house is only part of the picture. Practical space for storage, a workspace, and future needs are often part of the plan.
Living on a lifestyle block in North Canterbury, Jack and his family wanted a shed that would work practically day to day, while also standing up to long-term use. Early in the process, they got in touch with Totalspan.
Hear what Jack has to say
“It was always a dream,” Jack says. “When we came out to a lifestyle property and had a house, the shed kind of has to come with it.”
From the outset, the experience with Totalspan was straightforward.
“Everything was very smooth,” Jack says. “We enjoyed the process. The consultant we dealt with was fantastic, and all changes were easy. It was never a problem.”
That ease of communication helped build confidence as the project evolved. Design adjustments were made along the way, and decisions were guided by how the space would be used.
Jack chose a mono-pitch design, balancing form and function while keeping value front of mind. Practical upgrades were made where it mattered most, including electric roller doors, a decision that quickly proved its worth.
“That was the best decision we’ve ever made,” Jack says.
“I’m really happy with the building - I love it and how we’ve created it to work for our family. We felt confident right from the start, and if we ever built again Totalspan would be the only company we’d go back to”

The high clearance height has given the shed versatility beyond simple storage. The space can easily accommodate a ute, a boat, and the changing needs that come with family life on a lifestyle property.
Beyond layout and features, durability played a significant role in the final decision. Warranties and guarantees provided reassurance that the investment would last.
“That peace of mind was really important to us,” Jack explains. “If we’re going to invest in it, we wanted to know it was a solid product - not just for now, but well into the future.”
Today, the shed is less about square metres or specifications, and more about how it fits into daily life.
