Pole Shed Applications
Farm Sheds NZ
Farm sheds need to work hard: they protect gear, support daily operations and leave enough room for machinery to move safely. A pole shed is a practical format because bay widths, wall closures, roof style and openings can be tuned to the farm.
Recommended shed sizes
Start with a practical size, then adjust bay widths, depth, wall closures and height around your equipment, storage and access needs.
Common bay layouts
- Open-front machinery bays
- Partly enclosed storage
- High eaves for tractors
- Lockable workshop bay
Roof, wall and cladding options
- Colorsteel or Zincalume cladding
- Skillion or gable roof
- Spouting front or rear
- Clearspan rafters where suitable
Design considerations
Think about the direction of access, prevailing weather, machinery turning room, lock-up needs, door clearances and how the shed may need to change as the property or business grows.
The Baier Group shed designer helps turn those choices into a visual layout before you request pricing.
FAQs
What makes a good farm shed layout?
Start with the equipment dimensions, access direction, bay count, wall closures and future storage needs.
