COLORBOND® steel garages use pre-painted steel sheeting manufactured by BlueScope Steel specifically for Australian conditions. The material combines corrosion resistance, colour retention, and maximum strength in one product, which makes it the standard choice for steel buildings across the country.
Fair Dinkum Builds constructs all our garages using genuine COLORBOND® steel throughout the structure. The material comes with advanced paint technology baked onto the steel surface during manufacturing, creating a finish that withstands harsh Australian conditions without requiring ongoing painting or maintenance. You choose from a huge range of colours, specify the garage size and configuration, and select features that create the right structure for your property and storage requirements.

Why choose COLORBOND® steel garages
COLORBOND® steel garages are the perfect solution for delivering long-lasting durability because the material is engineered specifically to withstand Australia's toughest conditions. The steel substrate provides structural strength while the factory-applied paint system protects against sun exposure, salt air, industrial pollution, and weather extremes that would damage other materials over time.
The colour finish is baked onto the steel during manufacturing, creating a bond that resists fading, chipping, and peeling far better than field-applied paint. This means your garage maintains its appearance for decades without needing repainting. The material meets Australian Standards for weather resistance and has been proven across different climates from coastal areas to inland regions.
COLORBOND® steel also provides lasting value compared to other garage materials. The combination of structural durability and finish longevity means lower maintenance costs over the life of the building. You're not repainting every few years, replacing corroded panels, or dealing with deterioration that affects both appearance and performance.
The comprehensive range of colours lets you match your garage to existing structures or create visual interest on your property. The colour selection includes everything from neutral tones to bold statements, giving you design flexibility while maintaining the performance characteristics that make COLORBOND® steel the preferred choice for Australian buildings.
