Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of timber do you use in your pole sheds?
We use high-quality, H5 treated timber poles and kiln dried timber for all our pole sheds. Kiln drying reduces moisture content, which helps prevent twisting, warping, and shrinkage — resulting in a straighter, more stable frame that performs better over time. All poles are anchored to a concrete pad for maximum durability and compliance.

Are your pole sheds only for rural or farm use?
Not at all. We design pole sheds for lifestyle blocks, residential storage, hobby spaces, workshops, and more. They’re versatile and suitable anywhere a traditional shed would be.

Can I add doors, windows, or internal walls?
Yes — pole sheds can include roller doors, PA doors, sliding doors, windows, and framed internal partitions to suit your purpose.

What’s the main benefit of a pole shed vs. a steel frame?
Pole sheds typically allow for more flexibility in bay width with a lower overall cost. They’re ideal when you want flexibility of design or fewer internal frames.
