Custom Farm Sheds Designed and Built for Your Operation

Machinery Sheds Designed for Clear Access

Your machinery is essential to keeping the farm running. R&F designs and builds custom farm machinery sheds to suit the equipment you use, the space available on your property and the way you work. Wide clear spans, flexible bay configurations and generous access openings help accommodate tractors, harvesters, implements and other valuable equipment while protecting it from the weather.

With a range of structural and layout options available, your shed can be configured to suit your requirements rather than being restricted to a standard layout.

• Clear spans up to 24m as standard (Larger spans available on request)
• Variable bay widths, including extra-wide double-span bays
• Open or enclosed bays to suit different storage needs
• Internal walls to create secure, lockable storage areas
• Structural steel column upgrades available
• Top-hat or Zed roof and wall purlins available, depending on design requirements

Explore our multi-purpose farm shed project in Ellangowan → to see how open-access machinery storage and enclosed areas can be combined in one building. Designed, supplied and built by R&F Steel Buildings Warwick.

High-Capacity Hay Sheds Designed for Your Storage Needs

Hay is valuable feed, and protecting it from rain and weather exposure is an important consideration when planning your storage space. R&F designs, supplies and builds custom hay sheds around your storage capacity, handling equipment, site conditions and preferred level of enclosure.

From open-sided sheds for convenient loading and unloading to enclosed buildings for greater protection, the layout can be tailored to suit your operation. Using Australian BlueScope Steel, R&F hay sheds are designed around the requirements of your property and the intended use of the building.

Using Australian BlueScope Steel, R&F hay sheds combine practical storage layouts with a structural design tailored to the site. Wide access bays help make loading and unloading easier, while the building dimensions can be planned around your machinery, bale sizes and seasonal storage requirements.

• Flexible bay sizes to suit your storage requirements
• Structural steel column upgrades available
• Zed purlin roof and wall girts available, depending on the design
• Open bays for accessible storage or enclosed options for greater weather protection
• Double-width bays with columns omitted where the engineered design permits

See this custom hay shed at Flagstone Creek in the Lockyer Valley → for an example of a purpose-designed agricultural building.

Custom Horse Arenas, Stables and Livestock Shelters

Farm properties often need more than machinery and hay storage. From horse arenas and stables to paddock shelters and shearing sheds, R&F designs and builds agricultural structures around the animals, available space and intended use. Depending on the application, designs can include open sides for airflow, partial walling for weather protection and awning extensions for additional covered space.

• Clear spans up to 24m as standard (Larger spans available on request)
• Partial sidewalls for airflow and weather protection.
• Skylights for natural light
• Awning extensions for additional covered space

Multi-Purpose Farm Sheds Designed Around Your Operation

Every farm has different requirements. You might need space for machinery, a workshop, hay storage or a combination of uses within one building.

R&F designs, supplies and builds multi-purpose farm sheds around your property, equipment and day-to-day operations. If you’re still working through your options, our farm shed design guide covers practical considerations to help you plan your building.

Our custom steel farm shed project for Barcaldine Council demonstrates how shed design can respond to specific rural storage and workflow requirements. With the right planning, your shed can bring different functions together and allow for changing needs as your farm grows.

Built Around Your Requirements

R&F uses a welded and bolted portal frame system, with heavy-duty plate connections and high-tensile bolts. Combined with site-specific engineering and fabrication through local partners, this approach allows each building to be designed around its intended use and site requirements.

Depending on the design, available specifications include:

• Bay spacings from 4.5m to 9m
• Eave heights up to 6m as standard (Taller options available on request)
• Double-span lintel bays up to 12m, with wider options subject to design
