Ready to make the smart choice?
Vehicles and heavy machinery are investments worth protecting. If you’re looking for the highest quality shelter, look no further than SmartShelters. Agricultural and industrial equipment is generally a New Zealand business owner’s most valuable asset, both in terms of cost and the potential to generate revenue. It makes sense then that this equipment is given a good home – one that offers complete protection, lasts as long as the machinery inside, and does all that without costing the earth.
Agricultural and industrial vehicles in New Zealand can really take a beating when left to the elements. They are highly-valued assets, not only because of their cost but also because of their potential to generate revenue for your business. Whether you’re storing, repairing, or simply just parking your heavy vehicles, they need a safe, durable, and appropriately sized space to call home. At SmartShelters, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide strong, reliable, fit-for-purpose, and easy-to-maintain shelters for heavy vehicle workshops that meet your technical and functional needs.
Machinery sheds are wide-span constructions designed to house all manner of machinery, whether for dairy farming, cropping, rearing livestock or felling trees.
Our sheds are commonly designed and built to house the specific machinery that they will be covering. Depending on the level of protection your machinery requires, the shed may have a simple open bay design or a closed bay featuring entry points with hinged, sliding, or roller doors. Traditionally our commercial sheds are metal constructions with concrete foundations – simple steel shells that keep the rain and sun off. However, a new type of construction is becoming increasingly popular amongst NZ farmers.
SmartShelters sheds see a supergal steel frame covered in a super strength membrane structure fabric, granting your machinery the protection of a traditional structure while generating airflow and allowing in natural light, making the shed a more comfortable place to be.
Lightweight materials and clever construction methods allow a SmartShelter shed to be erected in a fraction of the time that it takes to build a traditional structure. They can also be made larger (spans go up to a massive 35m) and mounting on containers or poles allows you to move the shed if you need to. But flexibility doesn’t come at the expense of durability – SmartShelters are the industry choice for all workshop machinery.
Machinery sheds can either be divided up into sections, much like a garage, or can feature a single gabled span. They may be built with an open face, a single closable face, or a combination of the two, i.e. half of the shed being open bay, the other half featuring doors.
SmartShelters sheds are single span designs, which can be built all the way up to a massive width of 35m, larger than the traditional offerings of metal shed builders. They can be built as an open bay, closed bay or a hybrid of the two. And their clever pole-mount or container-mount design allows them to be erected in areas where traditional machinery workshops and sheds could not.
Your choice of an open or closed bay shed will depend on several factors. Ask yourself:
Still struggling to choose? A hybrid shed may be worth considering, as it allows you to better protect your most important assets while granting easy access to the rest.
"It’s such an easy storage to use. The quality and the service that we have received has been brilliant."
"The white roof is fantastic, it reflects away the heat and keeps us nice and cool in summer. And dry on the harsh rainy days."
"Our customers and colleagues and team on site are amazed at these huge shelters creating our state-of-the-art workshops."
The size of your machinery shed will usually be guided by the size of your machinery. Their clever lightweight construction means that SmartShelters machinery sheds can be built to almost any width, depth and height; spans can reach up to 35m, while the height is only limited by the amount of containers you can safely stack on top of one another.
TypesAs mentioned above, machinery sheds can generally be grouped into three categories:
