What is the price for a pole shed?

It’s important to view your structure – be it a pole shed or any other type of shed – not as a cost, but as an investment. The right construction will enable you to work better, while protecting the things that you need protected. As such, the lowest initial price doesn’t often work out to be the lowest price in the long term. Quality matters. That fact aside, the cost of pole sheds and other large farm sheds can vary greatly. There are a number of factors that will influence the price of your construction, including: Width, length, height and overall square metreage Width in relation to length (on a square metre basis, a short and wide structure is less efficient to build than a long and wide structure) The application of the design The importance of the structure Location factors that will affect the design (e.g. altitude, snow loading and wind ratings) Ground conditions that will influence the design of the foundation The site location (the more easily accessible the site, the lower the cost of construction) The configuration of options (e.g. end walls, doors, side eaves, guttering, etc.) Contact a member of our experienced team today to discuss a truly smart shelter solution for your property.
