When Wheatbelt Steel discusses a shed’s height, we refer to the gutter height. This is the measurement from the lowest level of the roof sheeting to the ground level.

Clearance height refers to the measurement from the lowest point of the roof truss, rafter or door (i.e. any items which exceed the clearance height will not be able to pass under the roof truss).
