Pole Shed Applications
Machinery Sheds NZ
Machinery sheds need generous access, practical height and bay spacing that reflects the actual equipment being stored. A pole shed can be configured with open bays, larger openings and selected enclosure.

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
- High open-front bays
- Clear access from yard or driveway
- End bay workshop
- Wide bay options
Roof, wall and cladding options
- Clearspan rafters
- Higher eaves
- Open fronts
- Roller door openings
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.
