Farm shed options tailored to your needs

Every farm is different, which is why we offer a range of designs to suit your needs.

Whether you are storing hay, housing livestock, or protecting equipment, ABC Sheds can tailor a structure that fits. Roof-only hay, machinery, and yard-cover sheds start at about AU $150 per square metre, while fully enclosed designs begin at approximately AU $250 per square metre.

Most rural projects sit between AU $50,000 and AU $150,000+, but final cost is shaped by span, height, cladding, extras such as doors or skylights, wind rating, and site works, so our team will quote precisely for your location and layout.

Hay Sheds (Prices range $95,500–$150,000 AUD):

Hay structures maximise airflow to keep feed dry, stack easily for loaders, and can be enclosed later to match growth in storage needs while remaining compliant with regional wind ratings.

Machinery ($90,000–$180,000 + AUD): 

Our machinery sheds offer clear spans up to 16 m, extra roof height, and flexible layouts such as open front, drive through, or fully enclosed, giving safe shelter for headers and sprayers without restricting access.

Dairy Sheds ($50,000-$270,000 AUD): 

Dairy sheds use hot dip galvanised steel to resist corrosion, integrate with feed pads and milking platforms, and maintain strong airflow so cattle stay comfortable and hygiene standards remain high.

Shearing Sheds ($60,000-$150,000 + AUD): 

Shearing facilities from ABC Sheds feature raised flooring, efficient pen flow, and ample natural light, creating a safe workspace for shearers and a smoother process for stock and wool handling.

Grain and Fertiliser ($150,000–$270,000 + AUD): 

Our enclosed or three sided grain sheds provide wide doorways for augers and tippers, sealed cladding to control dust, and corrosion resistant framing that stands up to fertiliser or grain handling.

Feedlot Shelters and Yard Covers ($50,000–$270,000 AUD):

Yard covers span cattle or sheep pens without internal posts, cutting heat stress and rain delays, while site specific engineering ensures the structure ties seamlessly into crushes, raceways, and concrete aprons.

Structural steel sheds that are built to last

As farmers, you know the importance of quality storage, and we're no different. Not only does good storage help to protect your farming equipment from the elements, but a well-built farm shed also contributes to the preservation of the equipment's quality, resulting in a better trade-in value. Our sheds are manufactured from only the best structural steel. 

Built to Australian Building Standards

ABC Sheds farm buildings and rural sheds are site-specifically engineered by an independent structural engineer. Quality building materials and our rigorous manufacturing process also ensure that all ABC sheds are compliant with the Australian Building Code. Your farm shed will be designed with your requirements and local climate in mind. As we like to say, designed for you, made to last.

Custom designs for your farm storage needs

If you need large openings to fit headers or boom sprays, ABC Sheds has you covered. We offer different designs to suit your specific storage capacity. Our sheds can have bay openings of up to 16 metres in width and with 8 metre wide bays. There's plenty of room for the tractors. Whether you want farm equipment storage with sliding or roller doors, open gable ends, or fully enclosed bays, our team can provide the right options for your ideal solution.

Top tips for planning your shed

When planning a new farm shed, it pays to think ahead. Here are a few practical tips to help get the most out of your investment:

  • Consider going a little higher than you think you need
  • Consider larger  bays to improve access and usability
  • Double check your span to ensure all machinery fits comfortably
  • Choose larger gutters if you are collecting rainwater
  • Make sure there’s enough space on site to expand or add an awning later

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need council approval or a building permit for a farm shed?

In most cases, yes. Council approvals are usually required for large rural sheds, especially if they exceed a certain size or are close to boundaries. Some exemptions apply depending on your location and land zoning. ABC Sheds provides certified plans and will guide you through the approval process to ensure your shed meets all local requirements.

What kind of foundation does a farm shed need?

Sheds must sit on a flat, level base. Enclosed sheds often have a concrete slab, while open sheds like hay or yard covers may only need compacted ground. We recommend building your pad at least 3 metres wider on all sides for access. Our team can advise the best base based on your shed type and site.

How long does it take to build a farm shed?

Most custom farm shed projects take around 3 to 5 months from planning to completion, especially for larger builds. However, if you're needing something sooner, our DuraKit range can be completed within 2 to 4 weeks. We’ll give you a tailored timeline based on your project.

How should I prepare the site before building?

Clear the area of debris, level the ground, and compact the soil. If using a slab, allow a few weeks for the pad to settle before construction. Make sure there's enough space around the site for cranes and equipment. Our team can advise if anything else is needed for your location.
