Proudly Australian-owned since 1984, crafting cedar sheds and studios that last a lifetime.
Beautiful by design. Premium craftsmanship. Honest value.
About Us
At Stilla, we believe a shed should be more than storage, it should be a space you’re proud of.
Since 1984, when founder Steve Thrush built the first cedar shed in Queensland, we’ve been creating spaces that combine form, function, and feeling. Beautiful by design, crafted with premium quality, and delivered with honest value. Every Stilla Shed and Studio is built to last and made to belong.
From our Narangba factory, where Steve now works alongside his family, more than 40,000+ sheds and studios have been produced and dispatched across Australia. Each one reflects our belief in premium craftsmanship and effortless experiences; from visiting a display near you to delivery, installation, or DIY.
As the market leader, our production advantage allows us to access the highest quality materials and deliver exceptional and honest value without compromise. Because at Stilla, it’s never just about building sheds; it’s about creating spaces that inspire, simplify, and stand the test of time.
We’d love to see how you make yours your own.
Why Western Red Cedar
Every Stilla shed is built from Western Red Cedar, chosen for its natural beauty, strength, and resistance to decay.
With its warm tones and insulating qualities, cedar helps create spaces that are not only functional but also seamlessly complement Australian backyards.

We offer three distinct ranges: the Stilla Shed collection for compact storage, the Stilla Classic Studio range for versatile, multi-purpose spaces, and the Stilla Designer Studio range for elevated, architectural living.
With options to add doors, windows, decks, skylights, roof colours, and annexes, every Stilla can be tailored to suit your space and style.

Built for Australian Conditions
Why Cedar Matters
When it comes to choosing a shed, the material you select is just as important as the design or the price. Durability, natural beauty, and pest resistance are the factors that truly determine whether your shed will last.
Many homeowners compare Western Red Cedar with pine, and for good reason, they’re the two most common timbers used in outdoor structures. At Stilla, we believe an informed choice is the best choice. Here’s why Western Red Cedar stands apart, and why it’s at the heart of our sheds and studios.
Natural Charm of Cedar
Cedar is more than just beautiful. Its fine grain, warm tones, and ability to age gracefully into a silvery patina make it a favourite among designers and homeowners alike. But the appeal runs deeper than looks. Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that act as built-in preservatives, giving it remarkable longevity and resilience. It resists rot, decay, and most importantly termites, without relying on harsh chemical treatments.
Cedar is also dimensionally stable. While many timbers warp, twist, or split in changing weather, cedar stays true to its shape. That stability means your shed doors close square, your walls stay straight, and your structure remains solid through the seasons.
Pine vs Cedar
Pine is a popular option for sheds thanks to its affordability and ease of use. However, untreated pine is highly vulnerable to termites.
To stand up to Australian conditions, it must undergo pressure treatment with preservatives. Without this, termites can quickly compromise the integrity of a structure, leaving it weak and unstable.
By contrast, cedar comes with termite resistance built in. It’s nature’s solution to one of Australia’s toughest challenges, and that’s why we trust it as a core material in every Stilla shed and studio.
Steel vs Cedar
Steel sheds are often chosen for their affordability and quick assembly. However, steel can be prone to rust, especially in coastal or humid environments, and when warm air meets cold steel, condensation can form, leading to unwanted moisture inside.
Insulation is another challenge, with steel trapping heat in summer and cold in winter, making the space less comfortable to use.
By contrast, Western Red Cedar naturally regulates temperature, resists termites, and weathers beautifully over time. It’s a material that offers both durability and timeless character, which is why we trust it as the foundation of every Stilla shed and studio.
