What are the different farm shed design options?

Flat Roof Rural Sheds

Our Flat Roof rural sheds are a popular choice for their simplicity and practicality. These farm shed designs offer a modern look and are perfect for areas with height restrictions. Whether you need compact fodder storage solutions or large farm sheds for substantial equipment shelter, our flat roof designs can be customised to fit your specific requirements.

Skillion Roof Rural Sheds

If you're looking for something a bit more distinctive, our Skillion Roof rural sheds may catch your eye. This design features a single, sloping roof surface, making it a stylish addition to any farm. The angle of the roof can be adjusted based on your preference, allowing for better control over sunlight and rainwater direction.

Gable Roof Rural Sheds

For those who prefer a traditional touch, our Gable Roof rural sheds are a fantastic option. Characterised by their triangular shape, these sheds provide excellent ventilation and extra headroom. The pitch of the roof also allows for efficient rainwater runoff, preventing water damage over time. The timeless appeal of gable roofs makes them a favourite among our clients.
