About Strathalbyn H Hardware — Your Local Lifestyle Experts Since 1995

Our Story

Strathalbyn H Hardware is a proudly family-operated business that's been part of our community for decades. What began as a humble tin shed under the Nelson Brothers name has grown, changed, and evolved alongside Strathalbyn itself.

Back then, we mainly served builders — the old-fashioned way. As the building industry shifted, so did we. Nelson Brothers transformed into Strathalbyn Homeworks, expanding to support both builders and home handypeople. Over time, Homeworks got a new look and became the vibrant yellow H Hardware store you know today.

When we took over in 2014, we brought a new energy and vision to the business. We launched our first website and stepped boldly into the world of e-commerce — without losing that classic country service our customers love.

Why We're Different

We believe in doing things the right way — the old-school, fair-dinkum way. You can buy one bolt if that’s all you need. A single metre of timber? No worries. No cutting charges, no forced bulk buys, no waste cluttering up your shed. Just what you need, when you need it.

We pride ourselves on being local, independent, and deeply connected to the people and projects that make our region thrive. Our staff’s collective knowledge spans decades, and we're always ready for a yarn about your next job or your backyard dreams.

🔧 Hardware & Trade Solutions

From DIY projects to serious trade work, we've got the right gear — and the know-how to back it up.

🎣 Outdoor & Rural Lifestyle

Whether you're heading out to fish the Murray, planning a weekend camping trip, or just looking to enjoy the great outdoors, we’ve got you covered with products that work in our local conditions.

🍺 Homebrew & More

We’re also the place to come for your homebrew adventures, from your first starter kit to fine-tuning your signature drop. Locals come in for supplies — and stay for the tips and stories.

🎁 Local Gifts & Art

Supporting local creators is part of who we are. Our gift section celebrates South Australian makers, with unique pieces perfect for locals and visitors alike.
