As the demand for portable buildings continues to rise, Outpost Buildings, a family-owned and operated business with strong South Island roots, has been meeting the needs of customers throughout New Zealand with its range of tough, reliable, and easy-to-assemble kitset buildings. From chicken coops and sheds to horse shelters, calf pens and ramps, sleepouts and all made from sustainable New Zealand-grown timber, Outpost Buildings offers a unique range suitable for various needs and applications. “Our key points of difference are that our buildings are skid mounted and made from tough, durable materials and all made right here in New Zealand,” says Lisa Smith, who owns the company with husband Alex. “Being relocatable offers flexibility to reposition the building if the need arises or to transport the building to a new property or on-sell.” One of the company’s most popular products is its hen houses with options available for families wanting to house a few chooks for fresh eggs to hundreds of birds for commercial operators. With the recent increase in the price of eggs, the demand for hen houses has increased, says Lisa. Outpost Buildings has also been seeing a surge in interest in relocatable cabins, for example from those seeking a temporary storage solution after being affected by recent floods or needing additional accommodation. The buildings have also been popular with those wanting a tiny home as they can be fitted out as desired to fully customise them to the client’s individual requirements and budget. Also with more people working from home, the cabins provide the perfect solution. Two newer releases are the Settler Garden Room and Summer House, versatile designs suitable for a variety of applications including a hobby room, sleepout or office. With autumn calving about to begin, Outpost Building’s livestock shelters and bobby calf pens are also popular due to the fact they are designed with versatility in mind. “Outpost is known for being built tough and being relocatable means the shelters can be moved to fresh ground to prevent bugs developing or repositioned away from prevailing winds. “When they’re not being used for calving, the shelters have multiple other uses,” says Lisa. The first Outpost Building was created in 2005 by a father and son in a rural Timaru woodwork shop. The name Outpost was chosen for the business because of the strong, rustic design of the buildings, meant to be put in remote locations, farms, and lifestyle blocks out in the country. “Our key points of difference are that our buildings are skid mounted and made from tough, durable materials and all made right here in New Zealand.” Today, Outpost Buildings is proudly owned and operated by the Smith family, with Alex and Lisa managing the business with the help of Lisa’s stepfather Greg Cox, the sales manager. Because the experienced Outpost Buildings team has worked together for many years it can provide customers with expert product knowledge and honest, practical advice, says Lisa. An important cornerstone of the business is that the buildings are made in New Zealand and designed for local conditions. The corrugated iron used on Outpost Buildings’ kitsets is genuine Zincalume or Colorsteel cladding, which has a 10-year manufacturer’s quality guarantee. The Zincalume-coated steel has long-term corrosion resistance in moderate conditions, making Outpost Buildings’ products ideal for withstanding New Zealand’s diverse climate, says Lisa. Outpost Buildings has two factories, one in Timaru and one in Silverdale and offers freight-free delivery of the ready-to-assemble kitsets to toll depots nationwide. Lisa says that the extra heavy-duty designs ensure that the structures maintain integrity when moving from site to site. Outpost kitsets come with a quality guarantee for all parts and workmanship. Outpost Buildings’ enduring quality, authenticity, strength of design, attention to detail and functionality are the hallmarks of its brand, forming the culture of its vibrant team today. With a strong commitment to providing quality products and service Lisa says that Outpost Buildings aims to continue to be a leading supplier of portable kitset buildings in New Zealand.
