Don’t Let Your Expensive & Valuable
Farm Machinery & Equipment
Deteriorate In Our Harsh Aussie Weather

"Grant Sheds “Aussie Tough” Galvanised C-Section Shed Range"

Farming is a tough job. It takes a tough attitude and tough equipment.

When you’ve worked hard and invested in your expensive farm machinery you don’t want them damaged by our harsh Aussie weather or stolen or damaged by dirty, rotten low-life thieves.

Harsh…?

Maybe, but the truth is you want your valuable farm equipment protected, safe and well looked after.

I’m sure you’d also like to have all your smaller vehicles, implements and workshop equipment stored neatly and out of harm’s way so that when you want to use it, it’s in good working condition.

That’s where an “Aussie Tough” Grant Sheds Machinery Shed provides you with protection and peace of mind.

Protect Your Farm Assets

Summer Sun & Heat Damage Can Ruin Your Vehicles & Machinery

Sun and heat damage from our searing hot summer sun can quickly damage the paintwork as well as the internal upholstery and the rubber hoses and plastic fittings on your farm tractors, harvesters, headers and spray units as well as other vehicles and equipment such as air seeders, trucks, utes and ATV’s.

Protect these items under cover of an Aussie-Tough Machinery Shed from Grant Sheds and you’ll be increasing the re-sale value and extending the life of your vehicles and equipment compared with ones that are left out in the weather.

Any sign of sun damage, such as fading duco, cracked vinyl dashboards, rubber hosing and plastic parts will immediately tell a future buyer that this vehicle hasn’t been well looked after and will automatically cause them to dramatically lower their price offer, or even walk away, disinterested.

And if it’s a change-over price you’re seeking when considering a new or second hand farm vehicle through a trader, surely you want the highest trade-in price you can get.

Wind Storms & Hail May Decimate Your Farm Vehicles!

We all know that storms bring high or even gale force winds that can topple trees or blow debris across paddocks and properties to badly damage anything left out in the open.

Whether it’s a tree branch that falls and crushes your spray cart or if it’s flying debris that scoots along with the wind to scrape up against your tractor, leaving it scratched or dented, surely you’d prefer to avoid that.

And then there’s hail !

With a thunderstorm approaching, you always worry about the catastrophic damage hail can cause to your crops and also to your expensive harvester or other farm vehicles. While you can’t protect your still-growing crops, you just don’t want that awful possibility of your vehicles being pock-marked with dents because you just didn’t have anywhere to safely store it undercover.

Avoid Theft of Your Valuable Machinery, Vehicles and Workshop Equipment

You know that statistics demonstrate the extremely high level of theft from rural properties.

It’s not a matter of IF you’ll have items stolen from your property but WHEN!

And if your costly and precious vehicles or personal items are left unprotected, there’s every likelihood that you’ll be an easy target for thieves to take advantage of your lack of security.

You’ve worked too long and hard to have these opportunistic low life’s steal your stuff.

To avoid all these fears, it’s critical that you invest in an ‘Aussie Tough’
Grant Sheds Machinery Shed or Farm Workshop
For Your Rural Property..

By storing your valuable tractors, trucks and other farm equipment securely inside a super-strong Aussie made shed, you’ll have much greater security and peace of mind.

Protect your

Expensive Tractors
Valuable Harvesters
Costly Spray Units
Important Air seeders and
High-priced Trucks

You’ll also have room for other smaller and none the less important farm and personal items to protect and help you keep your farm and back yard tidy. Things like

Utes
ATV’s
Stock Crate
Hay Baler
Cultivator or
Vintage Farm Vehicles and Implements

And of course you can also set up your shed (or part of it) for your very own

High Efficiency and Comfortable Workshop
Farm Machinery Parts & Tyres Store
Secure Chemical Storage Area
or even your very own “Man Cave”

Whether you are a

Broad acre farmer with grain cropping, sheep or cattle interests;
Horticulture or Viticulture Grower of fruit, vegetables, wine grapes, almonds etc
Hay Producer of lucerne, grain or other hay types or even a
Successful Aquaculture Specialist…

Your new Super-Tough Farm Machinery Shed will have so many uses that you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

Benefits for You

Of course, when you decide it’s time to protect your farm vehicles and equipment, you’ll likely be looking to invest in a Farm Shed that’s just right for you. But often, new buyers don’t know what’s available or what they really need when designing the size, layout and accessories for their new shed.

And so you may be left at the mercy of a fast-talking, high pressure hustler … not unlike a 4^th generation market stall owner in an over-crowded, smelly fish market in a third world country!

However, our team at Grant Sheds is different … and instead, we’re dedicated to helping you.

We know all the right questions to ask you to find out

What you’ll be using the shed for
The space you have available
How it will be sited in comparison with any other buildings and boundaries and
Your budget

And we can then help you to determine the best shed plan for you with our Exclusive Farm Shed Design System that includes the specific ways to assess what will suit you best in terms of

Size
Layout of openings
Type of doors
Accessories and
Colours

“Suggestions Provided That I Hadn’t Even Thought About…”

“I would just like to say that on recommendations from friends in the Riverland, I had no hesitation in selecting Grant Sheds to erect a new shed at our home. I was extremely impressed with Brenton Halupka and his extensive knowledge. I had some ideas of what I wanted, but Brenton was able to help me bring it all together. Nothing was too difficult for him and I was very impressed when he came out home and went over the site where I wanted the shed placed and came up with suggestions that I hadn’t even thought about. I was very happy with the total cost and am looking forward to the completed construction.”

Chris Boyce, Loveday SA

Geoff Tucker, Yorketown, SA

Farm Machinery, Implements & Vehicles

Grant Sheds has a huge range of high quality sheds for your rural farm property.

They are perfect for secure parking of your farm vehicles and undercover protection from the weather.

Easy To Build

These sheds have been designed to be easy to build. So if you know a local builder or you’re happy to build it yourself, you’ll certainly be glad you invested in a farm shed from Grant Sheds. The time you’ll save over many others will be dramatic.

“EASY TO BUILD OURSELVES”

“My sons and I erected the shed ourselves and found it very easy. There were absolutely no problems at all putting the shed up.

I’m very happy with the design of the shed. It was extremely easy to put together and extremely strong. It’s all pre-punched… everything just fits together. And other sheds brands for equivalent size sheds were using 3/8” (10mm) structural bolts for bolting frames together, where as Grant’s are a lot bigger. . . at 5/8” (16mm).”

Lewis Bennett, Corny Point, Yorke Peninsula SA

Getting Council Building Approval Is Easy
When You Invest In A Machinery Shed From Grant Sheds.

Many people worry about how to get Local Government Building Approval for their new shed. We understand that it can seem quite daunting.

There are generally two tiers of approval required in most cases.

Planning Approval
Building Approval

But there are also some circumstances where Building Approval is not required.

Confusing hey…?

Planning Approval is all about whether you are allowed to build where you want to build.

For example,

You can’t build under powerlines or over septic tanks
There may be height and size restrictions where you want to build
How close you can build to a property boundary or other farm buildings
Whether you need to consider ‘Essential Safety Provisions’ such as fire fighting equipment, fire escape doors, etc
The colour of your shed may be subject to local, state or federal government rules and
Heritage areas often have very specific building requirements.

This planning aspect of seeking approval to build your new shed is often subject to your own local Council or Shire by-laws so it isn’t necessarily the same set of rules in all areas.

Building Approval is more about the structure and whether it is considered strong enough to stand up against strong winds.

And there are different terrain categories depending on the topography of the area where you’ll be building.

For this, a full set of site specific Engineering Calculations & Computations is required as proof that the shed has been designed correctly. Those calculations then have to be checked by a second, independent design engineer, as proof that the first one did the job correctly.

Phew… it can be a lot of hard work!

That’s where we take all that hassle away for you!

We provide the full set of Engineering Calculations that you’ll need. And to make things even easier, they have already been certified by a 2^nd design engineer. So the Building Approval aspect of getting your Council approval will usually be easy!

We also supply the required Plan and Elevation Drawings which will show the size of your shed and the layout of doors, openings and accessories.

We’ll need some information from you too, but that’s all discussed and covered with you to ensure we make it easy for you.

tax Then there is the OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE TAX
While this web page is about Machinery Sheds, these same sheds can also be used for hay storage or, with alterations, can be used for other forms of fodder storage.

New tax depreciation measures, that include sheds for fodder storage, mean that you may be able to claim an immediate tax deduction if your shed is used for fodder storage.
See below for further information.

tax New Tax Depreciation Measures For FODDER STORAGE SHEDS
While this web page is about Machinery Sheds, these same sheds can also be used for hay storage or, with alterations, can be used for other forms of fodder storage.

The Federal Government announced new tax depreciation measures for primary producers. It opened the door for farmers and other primary production businesses to claim an immediate tax deduction on fodder storage infrastructure.

For example, the following shed types, when used for fodder storage:

– Hay Sheds
– Grain Sheds
– Silage Sheds
– Sliding Roof Sheds used for stock feed
– Other sheds used for storing other stock feeds

Under the new measures, primary producers may be able to claim the full cost of a fodder storage asset.

* Conditions Apply – Before ordering or otherwise relying on information within this publication, you must seek advice from your own independent advisor on how the tax rulings may apply to your specific circumstances.

Crawford says “The quality just stood out compared with other sheds.”

I was concerned about other companies sheds and I walked into a Grantshed that’s built locally here and I was really impressed.

And it was an obvious thing as soon as I walked in to this other Grantshed-the quality just stood out compared with other sheds.

The professionalism, the help from you guys-it’s been great. I’d definitely come to you guys again.”

After ringing around David Rasheed went with GrantSheds due to his positive experience with the sales team. Particularly help with designing the shed size and layout so that he got a higher shed than he originally intended for not much more money.

“The builders were very good and the job took about a week from footings to completion

Virtually as soon as the truck was unloaded they just checked to make sure everything was here to start with and then started marking out the corners and had the holes dug in just two hours. We had the concrete truck in that day.”

“Good Value”

Warmington-Greg,-Penong,-2012-15x42x6.3-Machinery-Shed

“It was Grant Sheds reputation and a Grant Sheds building contractor he knew which made the choice easy.

Building the shed was made easy. It’s good value as we were busy with harvest.

From design to completion, the planning and the build went smoothly even with alterations we requested after the original order was placed.”
