Having the right storage for your equipment goes a long way in ensuring that they are easily accessible and used as often as possible.

If you’re on a farm, the right storage shed is also vital to help the working day run like clockwork – not to mention making sure that your equipment is properly stored and the working environment is safe.

Of course the type of equipment that you store in your shed is up to you and your business needs. But did you know that there is certain equipment which is better suited to certain storage sheds?

The experts at Allied Sheds have compiled the following comprehensive list based on what our customer’s use their farm sheds for, as well as our professional recommendations for sheds that are built for purpose.

Machinery sheds

If you’re on a big farm and machinery is your main event, a dedicated machinery shed is a no-brainer. These spacious sheds allow you to have all of your machinery on hand whenever you need it, with the ease of storing your tractor, airseeder and header all in the same accessible location.

Allied Shed’s Recommendation:  We suggest an Open Front Shed for your machinery needs. These sheds always prove to be a customer favourite because of their practicality and strength.  

Grain or fertiliser storage sheds

It’s essential you get your grain storage solution right the first time as it can have an impact on the longevity of the product and the value it holds.

You’re investing plenty into the upfront purchase of your grain or fertiliser through bulk buying and we know that it’s crucial that you retain this cost.

Selecting a shed that is large enough to store your entire grain or fertiliser stock is the key and will allow you to house the goods for as long as needed.

A handy hint our customers have found is that selecting a fertiliser or grain shed that allows you to drive your tipper inside it (while still maintaining enough clearance height for the machine) is the most practical choice.

Allied Shed’s Recommendation: Consider an Open Gable End shed as it’s important that your storage has a large opening to allow your machinery easy access.   

Workshop Shed

Tired of tripping over tools and equipment in your man cave?

A dedicated workshop shed that houses all of those awkward objects and gives you a designated space to work out of is the perfect solution.

Allied Shed’s Recommendation: For a workshop that will work wonders, we suggest a Fully Enclosed Shed that offers our customers flexibility and comfort.

Drive-through sheds

Spacious, practical and open – that’s the feedback our customers tell us about our drive-through sheds for their farm.

The shed configuration is a great match for customers who want to load products from both ends, or don’t want the hassle of having to reverse large machine out of the shed.

Allied Shed’s Recommendation: Choose an Open Both Ends Shed that will create a space with side weather protection as well as providing a refreshing breeze to work in.

No doubt the above breakdown would have provided a few farm shed storage solutions which would suit your equipment needs.
