Your Best Hay Profits Come When Hay Quality Is Protected By An Aussie Tough, Grant Sheds Hay Shed
Increase your farm profit with Hay Storage Sheds
To get the best profit from your important hay produce, it must be stored under cover to protect the colour and quality. Without this, the price you’ll receive, or the nutritional value for your stock, some months after harvest and baling, may fall dramatically and adversely affect your farm income.
“Saves at Least 25% Hay Losses Compared to When Stored Outside, Unprotected”
Rodney Lush, Keith SA
12m x 24.3m x 6.3m Hay Shed with 3 x 8.1m beams.
Ideal for large bale storage. And Rodney chose super-strong UB columns to prevent tractor damage if bumped during loading and unloading.
As a hay producer you invest an enormous amount of time, money and effort into producing quality hay. Selecting the right shed to store your valuable produce is therefore important to prevent spoilage through weathering.
After all the expenses and efforts of producing your crop, you can’t afford to allow your income to drop because you didn’t protect it until sale time.
And if you don’t store it under cover, you may be forced to sell your hay immediately after baling at just whatever price you’re lucky enough to be able to get at that time.
Hay storage sheds give you the much better option of storing your hay, safe in the knowledge that it’s protected so that its quality will not drop.
Then you have time to concentrate on other farm harvest matters and can do your hay sales and marketing when the spring-summer harvest rush is over, with time to thoroughly research your hay selling options to get the best, premium prices.
Can you afford not to do this
for your family and farm income?
Grant Sheds has a huge range of high quality hay sheds for large or small hay bales and for any quantity.
They are perfect for export quality, large bale hay which needs to be stored undercover to retain quality and colour to get the best export prices. And also for your own domestic needs, covered hay retains quality for longer storage life and better nutritional outcomes for stock feeding.
Our experienced shed builders can travel to you to erect your new shed so that you don’t have to worry about the hassle or inconvenience of building it yourself or finding your own shed builders.
Having said that, our sheds have been designed to be easy to build. So if you know a local builder or you’re happy to build it yourself, you’ll certainly be glad you invested in a Grant Sheds hay shed. The time you’ll save over many others will be dramatic.
“Easy To Build”
“We erected it ourselves and it was easy to do. Not one bolt hole was out of place.We are very happy with the finished shed. It’s a very good shed.”
Peter Faint, Saddleworth SA
“Best I’ve Seen… Sturdy & Strong”
“One of the best I’ve seen. I like the sturdiness, the strength and the way it’s finished off. It’s an absolute credit to you.”
John Faint, Saddleworth SA
If you need a huge hay shed, in sizes up to 30m x 150m x 8m (100’ x 500’ x 25’) or if your need is just for a small hay shed for your own on-farm hay needs, Grant Sheds can build you the shed you need.
There is a very wide range of sizes to make the best use of your storage space. The size and number of hay bales you will be storing, is considered to give you advice on the most economical hay shed for you.
Hay sheds can be supplied with our
- Heavy-duty C-section framing or
- Ultra-strong UB (universal beam) columns.

“Survived 170kph Freak Wind Storm”
“We recently had 170kph winds and we lost the roof off my super shed but this one’s still standing and it’s open into that wind.
Grant Sheds were good. Contact was easy and they always returned phone calls or emailed and sorted out my needs quickly.
Delivery was organised easily and everything was packaged nicely.
The builders did a good job. They were in and out in just 5 days. There were no hassles and I was happy to watch them do it.
I’m happy to recommend Grant Sheds.”

“It’s A Magnificent Shed!”
Plenty of hay storage space in this massive hay shed. And Sam wouldn’t go anywhere else for his next shed.
“My experience from Grant Sheds has been first rate.
You were extraordinarily approachable through the whole process… everyone made it extremely easy.
You obviously have confidence in your product so that you don’t need to be high pressure salesmen. I really appreciated the fact that I wasn’t being pressured into something.
It’s been excellent. A very enjoyable process. And it’s a magnificent shed.
If we were going to buy another shed I don’t think I’d even go to another shed builder. We’d definitely come back to you.”

“Saving 25% Annual Hay Loss”
12mx24.3mx6.3m Grant hay shed with 3×8.1m bays for ideal bale storage
“We’ve been cutting hay and storing it outside for years, with annual losses of atleast 25%…
My main concern when planning this shed was strength, then getting the openings right so we didn’t have half a bay that we couldn’t access with a tractor a bale of hay, and then just getting it up in time…
I just wanted strength where there’s activity in and out.
The service from Grant Sheds was excellent, always only a phone call away…theguidance, getting me through the design process to the delivery, to the erection, was terrific.”
