When it comes to big infrastructure investments for your farm, a hay shed is likely to be at the top of your list.

There’s a reason this purchase is so valuable – correct hay storage is vital to the longevity of your hay as it should protect your hay from weather degradation caused by the harsh Australian climate.

Choosing the right shed will not only give you peace of mind, but it could save you thousands in the long term.

Plus, the good news is that finding this hay storage solution doesn’t need to be like finding a needle in a haystack.

If you are looking for a permanent, high quality and cost-effective shed for your farm, one of our structural steel hay shed kits is the perfect choice.

Welded and hot-dipped galvanised to last a lifetime under the harshest conditions, the Allied Shed design is a fully fabricated product.

Save time and money on installation costs

By purchasing a structural steel shed kit, you can save an enormous amount in design, fabrication and construction costs.  Our structural steel shed kits, which come with a 25 year warranty, are built in standard sizes and don’t require any specialised expertise to erect - saving you thousands of dollars in erection costs!

You might not know, but shed erection costs can be up to a third of the cost of the total shed price, so by taking this on yourself you can make a massive saving.

Another reason to choose our easy-to-install sheds is the fact that they come with full instructions, engineering drawings and drafting outlines, so you have everything you need to apply for planning approval (if required).

Invest in strength, durability and longevity

Our structural steel sheds are made from hot rolled structural steel sections with fully welded connections, making them stronger and more robust than C-Purlin structures, which are prone to twisting and movement due to bolt-together brackets on joints and angles.

Our structural steel sheds also feature:

• Welded column base plate with cage bolts which gives a rigid sturdy footing
• Welded connections made of plate steel which provide a rigid mating for the roof structure
• Pre-fabricated connections which contribute to the shed’s strength and longevity and make erecting the shed easy.

Protect your stock feed investment

Correct storage of baled hay and stock feed is extremely important to prevent degradation or even spontaneous combustion, which is a leading cause of haystack fires.

Correct storage of hay is vitally important to ensure bales are kept dry and protected and to minimize the chance of combustion, rotting, drying and loss.

Correctly-stored hay retains its nutritional value for longer, which in turn ensures stock are receiving higher-quality feed and keeps the cost of other supplementary feeds low.

When it comes to hay storage, we recommend an open-front shed. Our two most popular open-front hay shed sizes are the 1000 tonne (21x32x8.1M) and a 2000 tonne (21x64x8.1M).
