Choose Your Own Shed Adventure: Why It Matters…
Farming is a diverse activity, no two farm operations are the same. Naturally then, the shed needs of landholders also varies. This explains why only about 1 in 10 sheds ordered from us are “off the page” or “as is”.
Respected Farmers get ideas from their peers and apply them to suit their needs. And so this month, to get your “Creative Shed Juices” flowing, we present to you 32 different sheds as they appear on farms around SA and interstate right now.
What “Shed Adventure” ideas does this spark?
From building more than 16,000 sheds since 1952, here’s a summary of the “thought processes” many go through…
• For a hay shed, how many bales do I generally have… will it take that many bales?
• A machinery shed, do I need additional weather protection, security, lockable doors?
• What direction would I want to come in from… do I want to drive through it?
• Do I have the space around the shed to be able to drive through and out the other side?
• Am I on a hill where I can't clear enough flat space to be able to do exactly what I want… am I going to have to compromise with a curve through, coming in one side and out one end?
• I’ve got long farm combination equipment, a B-Double and air-seeder and having my shed “drive through” will make it easy
• I need a big shed. Should I put another set of doors in the back corner for easy access
• I want a farm workshop as well so will I need a partition wall to divide that off area off from the main shed
• How can I combine a shed for multiple uses … hay, machinery, fodder, fertiliser?
