Pole Shed Applications
Hay Sheds NZ
Hay sheds need dry, accessible storage with sensible bay depth, airflow and protection from prevailing weather. Open-front pole sheds are a strong starting point for feed and bale storage.
Recommended shed sizes
Start with a practical size, then adjust bay widths, depth, wall closures and height around your equipment, storage and access needs.
Common bay layouts
- Open-front storage
- High eaves for stacked bales
- Protected rear and side walls
- Vehicle access along the front
Roof, wall and cladding options
- Skillion roof
- Spouting
- Colorsteel cladding
- Bay widths matched to bale handling
Design considerations
Think about the direction of access, prevailing weather, machinery turning room, lock-up needs, door clearances and how the shed may need to change as the property or business grows.
The Baier Group shed designer helps turn those choices into a visual layout before you request pricing.
