Farm Sheds for sale
A farm shed is a big investment and if you Google “Farm Sheds for Sale” you will be overwhelmed by the number of business and the number of pages of listings. You probably don’t want the cheapest shed, made from soft imported steel but you want strength, quality, and value. You want a shed that will last, something the next generation will use and is genuinely up to all Australian Standards.
This article will show you how to get through the many false marketing claims and test any quote you get for real quality and longevity.
Advertising claims put to the test- Farm Sheds for sale
-
Shed strength and durability
Here is a common one with many suppliers, “Our steel farm sheds for sale are much stronger than the lighter alternatives.” This is generally true but only if they are not supplying you with one of the ‘lighter alternatives”. A quote from Professional Choice sheds will include the mass of your shed. In almost all cases, a Professional Choice Shed will be around 30-40% heavier than almost all on the market because they must be to pass Australian Standards. The quote will state the gauge of the steel and it will not be under G450 Australian high tensile steel – a hot-dipped zinc- coated structural steel with a spangled surface and guaranteed minimum yield strength of 450MPa.

Farm Shed Custom Design and fit for purpose
“Farm sheds custom designed & fit for purpose”. Most shed suppliers can design a shed to your exact specifications. However, if you try testing your quote with the independent www.shedhealthtest.com easy-test programme, it is highly unlikely that it is ‘fit-for-purpose’ if it is below the regulated Australian Standards. You can test any Professional Choice Sheds quote and we know it is easily up to the Australian Standards set.

We are leaders in Farm Shed supply
“We are a market leader in quality steel frame sheds. With high level design services and superior builds, we surpass in supplying quality sheds that stand up to the greatest variety of uses.”
Our sheds last the distance.” Well, that’s such a good claim. Does “Big” always mean “good and honest”? Would a company like VW cars ever deceive you? Or what about the big Pharmaceuticals? You can’t believe claims from companies just because they say so. The biggest suppliers of farm sheds all were in trouble after Cyclone Larry in 2006.
Aftermath of Cyclone Larry
After 1.5 billion of damage, it was decided that something had to be done about shed building standards. Unbelievably, Government Regulators and Building Certifiers asked the Australian Steel Institute (ASI) to ensure design compliance with the Building Code of Australia for steel sheds. Why the need to ask for this? Steel buildings should have been compliant but Australian standards were ignored. It was also discovered that shed failures were not limited to cyclonic areas building standards were an issue for sheds all over Australia. The major shed manufacturers are still building below Australian Standards. Again, check your quote here www.shedhealthtest.com and see for yourself.

Australian Owned and manufactured – Farm Sheds for sale
Here is another common claim. “Proudly Australian owned, our range of durable sheds can be shipped all over the country. Don’t Get Hassled by Salesmen – We Provide Farm Sheds Straight from The Factory” It’s great that your shed is made in Australia but that does not mean it’s made of quality high tensile Australian Steel. Check it out. Do you really want your shed constructed in a different state with thousands of dollars added for freight? Get it locally made by steel fabrication experts. Professional Choice Sheds are made in almost every medium to large city in Australia.

Pre-Engineered Farm Sheds for easy installation.
This is an important point. “Quality farm sheds pre-engineered to withstand harsh Australian conditions”. Instructions which are comprehensive and user friendly are essential with any farm shed and obviously be pre-engineered before arriving on site. The product quality is obvious in Professional Choice Sheds documentation. Every connection should be clear and have its own video. This will show you exactly what to do so no mistakes and no wasted time. The state-of-the-art engineering supplied by Professional Choice Sheds has no rival in Australia.
Professional Choice Sheds will be very competitive on any quote you get for your farm shed. It will also demonstrate how to check out any quote to ensure that a back-yard ‘engineer” is not just signing off on a certification.
If nothing else, your Professional Choice Farm Shed quote will show you how to test out any sales claims.
