Machinery Sheds Built for Australian Farming, Not a Brochure
Your machinery is one of the biggest investments on the property, and leaving it out in the sun, rain, hail and dust is expensive in all the quiet ways. We design machinery sheds around your equipment list, access and site, then supply the kit or build the lot.
At a glance
We recommend a layout based on how you move machinery, not just what you store
Explore the layouts below. Each can be adjusted to suit your property and the way you’ll use it.
Drive-through machinery sheds
Ideal for high-use equipment and a smooth workflow, especially when you’re moving large gear in and out regularly. Open both ends, drive straight through, no three-point turns around the header.
- High throughput
- Both ends open
- Header-friendly
Wide-span machinery sheds
Fewer internal posts, more usable space and better manoeuvrability, great for bigger setups where every post is an obstacle. No-knee-brace option under 18m for clean internal clearance.
- Up to 24m span
- Fewer posts
- Manoeuvrable
Enclosed machinery sheds
For higher protection, security and cleaner storage, or when you’re housing sensitive equipment. Add roller or sliding doors, PA doors and insulation to suit.
- Security
- Weather-tight
- Lockable
Open bay machinery sheds
Fast access and great airflow, practical for day-to-day farm use where you’re in and out constantly and don’t need to lock things away.
- Fast access
- Airflow
- Cost-effective
Multi-purpose machinery + hay sheds
A smart option for mixed-use storage, with layout planning that keeps hay airflow right and machinery access clean, so one building does two jobs properly.
- Mixed-use
- Airflow-planned
- One footprint
Room for the gear. Room to get it out.
The machine’s parked dimensions are only the starting point. Think through implements, door clearance, turning room and the space you need to service it.
What to plan for
Measure more than the machineAllow for attached implements and raised or folded equipment, as well as the machine itself.
Make each bay easy to usePut frequently used gear where you can reach it without shifting everything else.
Keep servicing practicalLeave working space around machinery and plan where a bench, tools or parts will go.
Plan the approachCheck the gate, track and turning area as carefully as the shed opening.
The right fit for your property
Engineered for your site
We’ll work through your equipment dimensions, required clearance and bay layout, then the engineering needed for your site. Door openings and structural bracing matter just as much as the overall shed size.
Talk through your site →
An open-front machinery shed with clear access to each bay.
Start with the biggest machine.
Think about the gear you need under cover, how it turns in and out, and what you might add later. A few choices will help you start a useful conversation with Chianne and KB.

A few useful details
Sizes and options depend on the design and site engineering. We’ll confirm the specification in your quote.
Four reasons farmers trust us with the engine room of the property
Custom design & engineering
We design around your equipment list, access needs, turning circles and workflow, not a generic size that looks good on paper.
Premium Australian materials
Every shed is built around Australian-made BlueScope Steel, with COLORBOND steel options. If a component ever has to come from elsewhere, it’s named on your quote — before you sign.
Site-specific engineering
Wind region, exposure, terrain and access all matter. We handle the engineering side properly, so the shed is designed for your location.
Kit supply or full build
Choose what suits you: kit supply for your own builder, kit + build support, or full end-to-end design and construction.
SHEDSAFE ACCREDITED
Confidence starts with the right specification.
Rural Built Co is ShedSafe accredited. The program independently reviews shed engineering design principles. For your shed, we work through the site, intended use and wind requirements so you can understand the specification behind the quote.
Australian-made steel. Any exception named on your quote.
A shed that’s designed properly and built from premium Australian materials lasts longer, works better, and protects far more value than it costs.
Australian-made BlueScope Steel frames and steel options
COLORBOND steel finishes to match existing buildings or keep it classic rural
Strong focus on corrosion resistance for rural weather exposure
Structural integrity designed for heavy equipment storage and access
Make room for the way you work.
Start with your biggest machine and a typical working day. We can help work through clearances, access and storage so the layout makes sense for your operation.
Try your ideas in 3D
Have a play with the shed designer, then bring your ideas to us. We can help work through what suits your site.
Open the 3D designerSize & dimensionsAllow for the machine, attachments and room to manoeuvre.
- Your tallest and widest machine
- Loader / telehandler clearance
- Turning circles and approach lines
- Future expansion plans
Roof designs & pitchChoose the roof around the site and the cover you need.
- Gable roofs: classic, efficient, strong
- Skillion roofs: clean lines, great for lean-tos and access orientation
- Flat / low-pitch options (site and engineering dependent)
- Lean-to extensions for extra cover without reworking the whole shed later
Doors & accessMake getting in and out part of the design.
- Roller doors (manual or automation-ready)
- Sliding doors: great for wide openings
- Personal access doors, because climbing under a roller door gets old fast
Sheeting profiles & colourMatch existing buildings or choose a look of your own.
- Trimdek-style profiles
- Corrugated (Corro) profiles
- COLORBOND colour selection to match existing buildings or keep it classic rural
Internal environmentThink about heat, light and what you are protecting.
- Ventilation systems: heat control matters
- Insulation options, especially for workshops and enclosed sheds
- Vermin proofing depending on what you’re storing
- Skylights for natural light
Solar-ready & extrasRaise tomorrow’s plans while we are designing today’s shed.
- Thinking about solar? Tell us early so proposed roof loads can be considered in the design.
- Discuss future lighting, power and workshop needs before the layout is finalised.
- Check which extras are included in your quote and which need a separate trade.
