About our shed
About Us
The philosophy is simple – the shed offers a place to chat and make some good mates while keeping busy and helping others along the way. Each man is both a teacher and a learner. Members are encouraged to spend 1/3 of their time on charity and community projects, 1/3 maintaining the shed and 1/3 on their own projects.
At Dural we have wood and metal-work sections, a garden and plenty of room for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a few breaks in between. Our membership of around 130 have a wide range of skills and experience to be shared with all – come and join us and add your knowledge to the pot – and have a laugh along the way!

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
