Protect Your Largest & Most Expensive Farm Machinery, Implements & Vehicles, Or Large Quantities of Hay or Grain.
Safeguard Your Farm and Family Income
Modern farming is a demanding business.
Whether you are a grower of crops or breeder of animals, farms are much bigger and your farm business knowledge is much greater than your farming forefathers.
Your cropping area is bigger, animal breeding more intensive and your farm machinery and equipment is certainly far bigger than your father or grandfather once used.
As a result, large farms of 5000 acres or more in size, now often need sheds in the MEGA SHED size range to protect your valuable farm assets.
The MEGA SHED size range covers:
- Spans from around 18 metres to 30 metres or more
- Heights up to 9 metres or more
- And often with VERY WIDE beam openings of 12-18 metres or more.
These MEGA SHEDS are used for:
- Protecting your biggest and most valuable farm machinery and equipment
- Allowing easy drive-through options for your largest vehicle combinations
- Storing large volumes of farm produce such as hay and grain
- Intensive feed-lotting of cattle and sheep
- Farm Workshops for the largest farm equipment so you can work on it efficiently and productively under cover from our harsh Aussie weather and
- Produce Packing Sheds
Made with Universal Beam (UB) columns and Open Web Joist (OWJ) or UB roof trusses, these sheds can be designed as big as you need them.
Today’s successful modern farmers understand the value of
- Ensuring expensive farm machinery is protected from our harsh Aussie sun
- Storing hay and grain under cover for later sale at higher prices or for continuous cashflow
- Having a modern, clean farm workshop where expensive equipment can be conveniently and regularly serviced
- Protecting valuable livestock under cover when farmed intensively.
“We Should Be Able To Work On
All Our Machinery Under Cover And Out of The Weather”
“Over the years we’ve been using sheds that haven’t been up to scratch as far as the workshop is concerned.
We started off thinking we’d build a new machinery shed and then later, a new workshop and in the end we thought we’d be better off to combine the two. So we decided to build a shed that increased out machinery storage and have a new farm workshop that we can hopefully use for the next 20 plus years.”
Mark Rundle, Rundle Farming Pty Ltd
Kulpara, Upper Yorke Peninsula SA
When sheds reach up into this MEGA SHED level, you certainly want assurance that the are going to be super-strong to withstand the internal and external pressures placed upon them.
The spans are enormous, the heights incredible, the weight of the materials used to build it alone are massive. Then add the wind pressure against the vast areas of walls and roof (both in uplift and down pressure aspects) and you know that your new MEGA SHED needs to be strong enough to handle the load. Not only that, but you’ll want some…

What Others Say
“Farmer’s Shed Design Ideas Easily Incorporated”
After obtaining quotes, Mark Rundle opted to go with Grant Sheds due to simplicity, ease and professionalism.
“We wanted to help design the shed, with our ideas. And we wanted to get the whole lot done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Everything we asked to have in the shed has been done just awe like. We’ve got all our doors setup exactly as we wanted. Everything we wanted to do we’ve been able to do quickly as far as little changes are concerned. From when we started the shed, from the original plans, to where we’ve ended up, we couldn’t have hoped for a better shed in the end.”

“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.”
Sam Dodd,
Dairy Farmer

“EXCELLENT – CAN’T FAULT ANYTHING”
Rob Broad is delighted with the result of his new shed from Grant Sheds, saying that he found Grant Sheds processes “Excellent!”
“You certainly met my expectations.
We went up and saw your company at Monash. That’s where it all started and I couldn’t fault anything.
My roof on this Grant shed has no spring in it. It just doesn’t move. Whereas quite often on some other sheds I’ve had on the stations I’ve owned, it can be like a trampoline. You get in the middle of the gable and they do move.
I’d definitely return to Grant Sheds if I need another shed in the future. I think it’s excellent.”
Rob Broad,

(& previously from a number of outback SA stations)
“PROMPT, EFFICIENT & HELPFUL”
The Burdon brothers purchased two new sheds for Almond Stockpile Covers. These save them significant time and effort compared with covering the harvested crop with tarps when wet weather is imminent.
“Our experience with Grant Sheds was that the entire process was prompt, efficient, smooth and very helpful.
Grant Sheds suggested we add an extra metre of height to the structures at minimal cost and it’s something we found was invaluable and much appreciated advice.
Loading trucks is a breeze, not having to worry about clearance, and being wider means I can make the stockpile larger and save ground space.”
Ian Burdon,
Moorook, SA
“A GOOD NAME IN THE SHED INDUSTRY”
Ben Rowntree says his experience with Grant Sheds met his expectations from planning through to construction.
“I knew of other Grant sheds around my area and a brother in law built a machinery shed from you guys in the last couple of years. So I realised that you’ve got a pretty good name in the shed building industry.
I’m more than happy with what you’ve provided. I couldn’t speak highly enough of it.”
