In New Zealand, you sometimes require a permit to build certain detached structures. However, there’s also a long list of exemptions to these rules, which you can find here.
Outpost Buildings garden sheds are designed to be as easy to construct as possible, and that includes dealing with any required paperwork. Kitset garden sheds up to 30 square metres may be eligible for consent exemption. This includes the vast majority of our kitset sheds.
If you’re concerned about the need for permits for your garden shed, we encourage you to get in touch with our team, who may be able to provide some guidance on the specific garden shed you are looking to build.
