Complete outdoor shed assembly

$150

Surrey Hills VIC, Australia

27th Dec 2025

We have an outdoor shed (metal sheeting) measuring 3m wide x 0.78m x 1.7m high (brand Easyshed). It has been assembled, but the walls need to be erected. This is likely a two person job or else 1 person who is skilled at holding the walls to drill them together with nails. It should be a straightforward job IF you have experience at assembly or are a skilled tradesperson. Please don’t apply if you don’t have this direct experience - we have been stuffed around before on this task and just need to get the job done. Thank you.

Mapa arrived punctually, communicated well and above all got the job done efficiently and with skill. Highly recommend.
