When it comes to shearing sheds, we know that a functional design from durable products is key.
We also know that when you mix animals and metal, using materials that have a high corrosion resistance can make a huge difference to protecting your investment.
Unlike other things, we know that money doesn’t grow on trees. That’s why you’ll need something that will be robust and stand up to Mother Nature when you need it to. We offer an extended warranty over and above the standard materials warranty, plus ensure every design passes the ShedSafe safety test and are fully compliant.
You can also design exactly what you need – off-the-ground designs with partition walls to separate space uses (such as equipment storage, sorting and shearing), plus whirly birds and insulation to protect your workers and sheep, open bays for easy access and seasonal ventilation. These and other inclusions could make all the difference to creating a shearing shed that will work just as hard as you do.
Let’s take a look at what you need (and confirm what you don’t).
