Pole Shed Applications
Horse Sheds NZ
Horse sheds often combine shelter, feed, tack, vehicle access and practical wash-down or storage areas. Pole shed layouts make it easier to separate open shelter from enclosed storage.
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 shelter bays
- Enclosed tack or feed room
- Wide access for float parking
- Covered stable or arena edge shelter
Roof, wall and cladding options
- Durable cladding
- Open-front bays
- PA doors and windows
- Roof pitch and eaves height matched to use
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
Can a pole shed include tack storage?
Yes. One bay can be enclosed for tack or feed while other bays remain open shelter.
What size horse shed should I start with?
A 3 bay or 6x9 layout is a useful starting point, then adjust for stable, float and storage requirements.
