Custom Farm & Rural Sheds

Custom farm & rural sheds truly designed for maximum strength and minimal deflection - compare our engineering to all others and you can see what is needed to comply with the Australian Standards! Maximise your space to get the height and span you desire. You can use Zincalume or all Colorbond colours, add translucent or transparent roof sheets, PA Doors, Windows, Whirlybirds or Insulation. Easily add a mezzanine and/or have the roof strong enough for solar panels.

Custom farm & rural sheds - silo outside of storage shed

Custom Farm and Rural Sheds Built to withstand the harsh Australian Weather.

Our custom farm sheds are designed to be used for all purpose storage of machinery, hay, livestock and your rural lifestyle. When you work the land in the harsh Australian environment, you need the best quality build to keep all of your equipment and livestock safe & secure.


For years, most Aussie shed businesses have been on a race to the bottom trying to offer cheaper and cheaper sheds. This has been done at the expense of quality and strength. Certifiers have been able to ‘hide’ behind their complex calculations, too difficult for most to understand. Now, it’s easy for anyone to check for true Australian Standards with the Shed Health Test – no more hiding!


Make sure you buy the best – or at the very least, a shed that is Australian Standards compliant.

Solar Panel Ready Farm & Rural Sheds.

Professional Choice has experience in developing solar-ready farm & rural sheds and carports. Solar ready will allow for a further 20kg per square meter load on the roof.


At the very least, check the span and strength of your Top hats, (top hats are used for roof purlins or wall grits. They span between portals and other structural framing elements particularly in applications where there is a higher wind loading or where heavy duty sheeting is to be installed).


A deflection, (bend or sag), of 10mm over 3m is all that is permitted by Australian Standards most sheds we know, are NOT deflection compliant. Try the Top Hat Span Test to ensure your quote is compliant and therefore covered by your insurance!

FAQ

  • What thickness steel should my custom shed be?

    The thickness of steel that Colorbond sheeting must be attached to is just one simple easy-checked point. Most sheds or garages have TRIMDEK or CUSTOM ORB or a Chinese import attaching to 0.75mm or less BMT (Base Metal Thickness) and yet the manufacturer specification is a minimum of 1mm BMT. Unless the framing is very close (400mm-450mm which is unlikely on most structurers), they do not meet manufacturer specification and are therefore do not meet NCC compliance – no matter what the engineering certification says.


    There is a big difference in the quality high tensile steel made in Australia and the much cheaper mild steel imported from China, India or Korea used by most shed manufacturers in Australia. Mild steel does not have the strength and is lighter than quality Australian steel. Australian high tensile steel may sound similar to an imported equivalent but in many cases, the Australian high tensile steel could be twice as strong as the cheaper mild steel import.





  • How do I check the strength of the structure you are thinking of buying

    No one wants a sag in their roof. The “sag” can be measured in the deflection of the roof. High tensile Australian steel is a lot less ‘bendable’ than low tensile imports. It’s easy to check the structure you are thinking of purchasing on this independent website www.shedhealthtest.com.au. We doubt any other supplier would encourage you to use this excellent tool!


    These are just some points as to why Professional Choice® is your guarantee that your new installation will meet all manufacturing and Australian standards.


    The unique design and engineering software used, ensures we’re able to customise your carport or shed to the millimetre with absolutely no waste and why they contain more steel than almost all competitors. All buildings are engineered site-specific to ensure they will withstand the specific conditions of your site and you have the peace of mind knowing that they will not be rejected by any possible insurance claim!

  • What choices and options do I have?

    You have over 43 choices and accessories with Professional Choice Sheds® from the obvious – dimensions and colour – to solar ready and mezzanines. Have a look at your shed guide by clicking here.


  • What weather conditions should I keep in mind?

    Fire, Flood and Wind are the three weather conditions all Australians must consider. We can absolutely guarantee Professional Choice against any wind conditions. In most cases, it is highly likely your Professional Choice structure will withstand the ravages of flood. Finding steel that will not distort and bend in the heat of an Australian bush fire is still beyond even Professional Choice®.
