After 25 years as a husband and wife sub-contracting team, Chris and his wife Cheryl saw there was a need for a strong, quality and easy to erect shed. So together they created Chris Gratton Sheds and ventured into the market in order to provide a quality shed at competitive pricing. Working together erecting sheds, Chris and Cheryl had taken a keen interest in customer needs and coupled this with their business knowledge to create a business that offers personal service, efficient assistance and follow this up with well manufactured, quality sheds tailored to suit customer needs. After several years of building sheds together, Cheryl opened their full time sales office at Walloon. Now with a staff of over 10 people (all locals) Chris Gratton Sheds services an area bigger than most European countries. We have built sheds on McClay Island in Moreton Bay and at Kilcoy to the north and Narrabri in NSW to the south.
