Shed Types We Engineer
Every shed. Every purpose. $3,200+GST flat fee.
🚜 Machinery Sheds
Heavy-duty structures housing tractors, harvesters, trucks, and farm equipment.
Engineering Considerations:
Clear-span design, wide roller door openings (6m–12m+), concrete slab for heavy vehicles, column protection, crane beam support if needed.
Typical Specifications:
Portal frame. Spans 12m–30m+. Bay spacing 6m–9m. Knee height 4.5m–6m+. Roof pitch 10°–15°.
🌾 Hay Sheds
Open-sided or enclosed structures for hay bale and fodder storage.
Engineering Considerations:
Wind uplift on open structures, dead load from stored hay (round bales ~250kg, square up to 800kg/m³), fire separation, height for multi-tier stacking.
Typical Specifications:
Portal frame or post-and-beam. Open-sided or three-sided. Spans 12m–24m+. Eave height 6m–8m+.
🌽 Grain Sheds
Bulk grain storage on-farm with horizontal or vertical storage.
Engineering Considerations:
Lateral grain pressure on walls (like retaining wall forces), floor slab for bulk loads (750–850kg/m³), ventilation and aeration, equipment loads.
Typical Specifications:
Steel frame with concrete/steel containment walls. Spans 15m–30m+. Heavy-duty floor slab 200mm+.
🏚️ Farm Sheds
General-purpose agricultural buildings for mixed farm use.
Engineering Considerations:
Multi-purpose design, vehicle access, clear heights, future modifications, rural wind exposure (TC 1–2), budget-conscious design.
Typical Specifications:
Portal frame. Spans 9m–24m. Bay spacing 5m–7.5m. Eave height 3.6m–5m.
📦 Storage Sheds
Commercial and rural storage buildings.
Engineering Considerations:
Racking loads, forklift access, security, future fit-out flexibility, storage regulation compliance.
Typical Specifications:
Portal frame or C-section. Spans 9m–18m. Fully enclosed. Eave height 3m–4.5m.
🔧 Workshop Sheds
Fitted workshops with overhead cranes, vehicle hoists, heavy equipment.
Engineering Considerations:
Crane beam loads (monorail/gantry), vehicle hoist reactions (4–8t), welding bay, mezzanine floors, services integration.
Typical Specifications:
Heavy portal frame (hot-rolled steel). Spans 12m–24m. Eave height 5m–7m+. Floor 150mm–200mm+.
🐑 Rural Sheds
Shearing sheds, woolsheds, cattle yards with roofing.
Engineering Considerations:
Exposed rural locations (highest wind terrain), remote access (prefab), durability, animal handling, integration with existing infrastructure.
Typical Specifications:
Steel frame. Designed for rural wind. Durable Colorbond/Zincalume cladding.
🐴 Equestrian Sheds
Horse stables, indoor arenas, covered yards, equestrian training.
Engineering Considerations:
Large clear spans (20m–40m+), ventilation for horse health, safety (no sharp edges), kick loads, arena footing, council requirements.
Typical Specifications:
Long-span portal frames. Spans 20m–40m+. Eave height 4m–6m. Open/partially open walls.
