The Solution
ABC Sheds delivered a substantial 48m x 24m fertiliser shed with a generous 8m eave height, giving plenty of headroom for machinery operations. The 20° gable roof design sheds water efficiently while maximising storage space underneath.
The shed is built tough with 410 UB hot-dipped galvanised columns and 1000mm hot-dip galvanised open web joist trusses across eight 6-metre bays. This gives excellent strength while allowing flexible storage arrangements inside.
The real standout feature is the 3-metre-high concrete bunker walls along two long sides and one end. These bunker walls contain bulk materials perfectly while the wall sheeting finishes 200mm below the top, creating an effective containment system that works brilliantly for fertiliser storage.
We used Zincalume .42 BMT sheeting throughout, which handles the agricultural environment without issues. The high-capacity 600HF gutters with rain heads and 150mm downpipes on each corner deal with heavy rainfall efficiently.
Looking ahead, we included gable infill on one end with mounting points for future door tracks. This gives Grant the option to add roller doors down the track when his operation grows.
