Fertiliser Sheds

ABC Sheds designs and builds fertiliser sheds that keep product completely dry and free-flowing, so it spreads evenly when the weather window opens.

On-farm storage also lets you purchase fertiliser when pricing is favourable and have stock on hand ahead of key rain events, helping reduce waste and downtime during peak spreading.

Our fertiliser shed projects

Fertilisers you can store

Many operators mix products through the season. We regularly plan separate bunkers for superphosphates, DAP and starter blends alongside Urea or MAP so you can buy when pricing suits and keep each product in good condition until use.  Where products are incompatible, concrete bunker walls keep them segregated and protect cladding during loading.

Fully engineered for Australian conditions

Your structure is designed for Australian conditions and built to last. Frames are fully hot-dip galvanised for long service life, with Zincalume or COLORBOND roof and wall sheeting specified on projects. Weather-tight detailing and efficient roof geometry help move water away from stock and reduce the risk of moisture ingress, the enemy of flowability.

Custom designs for every fertiliser shed

Access is tailored to how you work. Clear spans make in-shed manoeuvring easy, while wide sliding doors shorten load and unload cycles. Where bulk is required, we set bunker wall height and bay count for your programme, and align door openings to loader work for faster cycles. Projects include large clear spans with two sliding doors three metres wide by six metres high on a gable end, and other builds with three doors up to six metres wide by 5.5 metres high.

Why choose a shed over a silo

We have had customers move away from silos due to capacity and moisture issues. In one project, moisture entered a fertiliser silo and a first Urea/MAP blend hardened like concrete, making extraction difficult. An enclosed shed with ample sliding-door access avoids those headaches and provides flexible, multi-purpose space when fertiliser is not being stored.

 

Frequently asked questions

How much fertiliser capacity can a shed handle, and how are bays laid out?
ABC Sheds has delivered fully enclosed fertiliser sheds sized for serious volume. One NSW project stores about 1,500 tonnes of urea with an 18 m clear span, 30 m length, and 3 m-high tilt panels that speed loader work. Another project sized 3 m-high bunker walls to hold around 14 tonnes of MAP per bunker, making it practical to stage the product several months in advance and buy when prices suit.
How big can ABC Sheds build if I need wide loader manoeuvring?

We specialise in large structural steel sheds with clear spans up to 60 m (minimums around 18 m long × 12 m wide × 2.4 m high). That headroom and span help loaders, trucks, and stockpiles move efficiently inside dedicated fertiliser bays.

How is moisture managed at a design-detail level?
Projects show enclosed construction paired with practical drainage and cladding choices. Examples include downpipes carried to ground level for removal of runoff, plus Zincalume® roof and wall sheeting and hot-dip galvanised frames for durability. These details, together with clear-span layouts and enclosed walls, help keep fertiliser dry and free-flowing through wet periods.
What sort of timeline should I expect from order to construction?
Timeframes vary by job, but a recent fertiliser shed gives a useful reference: our client ordered in December, with the builder scheduled to start in March and early April. That example also illustrates why many farmers opt for on-farm storage: it allows buying in bulk and holding fertiliser securely for year-round use. For a quicker turn around, see our Durakit Kit Set Sheds.
What floor do you recommend for a fertiliser shed, and why?

A concrete floor is ABC Sheds’ recommended option for fertiliser storage because it’s low-maintenance, durable, long-lasting, fire-resistant, easy to clean, and resistant to pests and rot. Those properties help keep fertiliser in good condition and make clean-downs faster between products.
