Common layouts
A 3 bay shed might be fully open, partly enclosed, or include one lockable bay with two open bays.
Use the Baier Group shed designer to turn these choices into a quote-ready concept. The more specific the design, the easier it is to discuss materials, engineering and final pricing.
Bay width choices
Bay widths up to 6m can be explored in the designer, depending on the final engineering and specification.
Openings and access
Add vehicle doors, PA doors or windows where the enclosed walls need access or daylight.
Next steps
Start with the shed use, then choose a realistic footprint, bay count and wall layout. If you are comparing options, save the practical features first: access, weather protection, height and enough room to work safely around equipment.
