Sheds for all needs
Farm buildings have become a significant investment on any farm across the country, regardless of whether it is a lifestyle block or a horticulture or large livestock venture. Many companies have developed an extensive range of farm shed plans which can often be customised to your requirements. Building companies can also assist with the council consent application to complete the project. Farm sheds can be used in many different situations such as housing calves, storage of farm equipment, or simply as a hay shed. There are endless designs of sheds including open or closed bays which you can often add divider walls, roller doors or windows to. They are often available in timber or steel materials. Sheds and shelters come in a vast range of sizes to meet specific farming needs. Whether you are after a large hay shed or somewhere to store expensive farm equipment, a shelter for stock, a workshop or a horse stable, sheds can generally be customised to suit your exact requirements. The options can allow you to mix and match what you require such as an open end and an accommodation room. Most manufacturers are able to meet your

needs and the designs you may have in mind. There is also skylight roofing to allow natural light to flow through the roof where most needed. Feed pad covers are an option and can be used as an alternative shelter. These can also be designed to individual needs. They are ideal for anyone needing reliable all-weather shelters and make a great reduction in effluent run-off. The roof cover diverts rainfall from the feed pad, resulting in less effluent to
be managed. It provides shade and shelter for stock, protecting them from cold weather in winter, and reducing heat stress in summer. A covered feed pad allows your herd to be held off the pasture for extended periods, reducing damage from pugging in poor weather and paddock nutrient density compliance issues. There are a wide range of companies who produce farm sheds across the country. Sheds are available in custom made and kitset design.
