Water & Sand Play Trays & Mud Kitchens
Perfect for family day care providers, kindergartens, schools, and home backyards, our custom-built water and sand play trays are designed to foster hands-on, sensory play. These versatile pieces are built to last, easy to clean, and tailored to your size and material preferences. We also offer mud kitchens and wet play stations that encourage imaginative outdoor play and early childhood development.

- Ideal for education and care environments
These builds are designed with early learning in mind—no sharp edges, no toxic materials, and lots of possibilities for open-ended play.
Recycled Timber Furniture & Garden Builds
We believe in giving old materials new life. At Protek, we repurpose timber pallets, LPG bottles, and other salvaged materials to create unique outdoor furniture and garden installations that are practical, rustic, and full of character. Whether you need extra seating, storage, or decorative features, we can design and build to your exact needs.
Our most popular items include
- Bush-style tables and bench seats
- Planter boxes and raised garden beds
- Compost bins and potting benches
- Storage crates and shelving for sheds or patios
- Rustic outdoor furniture sets for homes or cafés
Every build is made with care, treated for outdoor conditions, and created with both form and function in mind.
Small Shed & Storage Design
Need an extra garden shed, tool locker, or secure outdoor storage? We offer custom-designed small sheds, built from recycled or new materials to fit awkward spaces or serve specific functions. Unlike mass-produced kits, our sheds are built to withstand Tasmanian weather and are tailored to the job at hand.
Features include:
- Custom sizing to fit your space
- Solid timber or recycled builds
- Lockable doors and weatherproof finishes
- Optional internal shelving or workbenches
- Perfect for tools, bikes, garden gear, or firewood
We also offer shed extensions or modifications so you can make better use of what you already have.
LPG Bottle Conversion & Upcycled Metal Art
We take empty LPG gas bottles and transform them into striking, durable, and functional garden or household items. This type of creative reuse not only prevents waste from hitting landfills—it also brings a bold, industrial look to your outdoor spaces.
- Common LPG bottle upcycles include
- Potbelly-style firepits or chimineas
- Garden planters or decorative pots
- Outdoor stools or storage drums
- Metal art pieces and display items
Every bottle is carefully cleaned, cut, treated, and sealed for safety. We can finish each item in a rustic, painted, or polished style, depending on your taste.
