Professional Choice Agricultural Farm Sheds

When you are looking for an  agricultural sheds – hay Sheds and farm sheds for sale, you need a shed that will be there for your children and your grandchildren. Of course, you want value for money but only a fool will look for the cheapest shed available.  At Professional Choice Sheds, our farm shed prices are the lowest possible in Australia for a shed that is truly up to Australian Standards and you’ll find they are usually up to 40% heavier than anything else you consider.

40% More mass in Agricultural Sheds – Hay Sheds and Farm Sheds with Professional Choice Sheds

The prices remain low, but we still deliver high-quality results. The high tensile Australian steel we use comes with a manufacturer warranty of up to 36 years. There is a very good reason for all the ‘extra’ steel you get in manufacturing. It is just impossible to design a shed for any part of Australia that does not compare in mass to Professional Choice sheds. This simple fact should tell you more about all the cheaper sheds on the market. It also tells you a lot about the quality of Professional Choice Sheds.

Permissible Deflection on your Agricultural shed – hay shed and farm shed

Check the Australian Standards (that’s the minimum permissible for a shed in Australia) and you will find that a deflection, (bend or sag), of 10mm over 3m is all that is permitted. Almost all sheds we know of are NOT deflection compliant. Try the Top Hat Span Test to ensure your shed is compliant and therefore covered by your insurance!

If you already have a quote for a new steel building, we strongly recommend that you check the engineering here at this independent site shedhealthtest.com.au. Unless its Professional Choice®, you will almost certainly find that your choice is not up to Australian Standards. The shed is cheaper because it does not have either enough steel to support it or the steel being used is too light. It’s just not strong enough to meet The Standards that have been set.

A Farmer’s Recent Experience with a recent installation of a new Agricultural Shed

We were speaking to a farmer in Tasmania very recently. He had a farm shed installed recently by one of Australia’s largest shed suppliers. Without thinking much about it, he had a 6.3kw solar system installed.

We were surprised that the solar installer had not checked the strength of the structure before installing panels. The result, two weeks later, was a very noticeable sag in the roof. He had to remove the panels as he was concerned about the structure coming down. This is not surprising when you buy a shed that is barely capable of holding it’s own weight. You then add a load of well-over 200kg to the roof and see the results. Had it been a Professional Choice Shed, the sag would not have been noticeable but we still would not recommend installation of panels unless it had been ordered ‘solar-ready’ to take an additional 20kg per square metre load on the roof.

Typical advertising for Agricultural Sheds – Hay Sheds and Farm Sheds and what to do to test it

Everybody seem to advertise thier sheds with words like;  “farm building designs are pre-engineered to meet Australia’s National Construction Code.” The “better’  suppliers will also advertise that they use; “BlueScope Steel”.  They say you should have confidence in this fact. “You know your rural shed has been tested and engineered to withstand harsh Australian conditions.” Your shed has not been tested and if it was, you’d soon find out is is not capable of withstanding harsh Australian conditions”. Try your shed against a very simple tool recently developed to help you ‘test’ the claims of the supplier, the Shed Health Test. 

Don’t believe the advertising and the claims, check it out for yourself. It’s easy to use and don’t be too surprised with the results! We encourage you also to test any quote from professional Choice Sheds, we know our claims are at least truthful.  By investing in a Professional Choice Shed for your Agricultural Sheds – Hay Sheds and Farm Sheds you do get a strong shed. It will be in your choice of ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND®. You have 43 other options. It will be the best value quality Australian farm shed – no hype just truth – and you can test the claim!
