Wide clear-span machinery sheds
Open bays with no internal posts, wide roller doors and reinforced portal frames to house headers, tractors, harvesters and spray rigs.
Rural machinery shedsbuilt for the paddock
Custom farm sheds and rural machinery sheds across Bundaberg, Fraser Coast, Gladstone and North Burnett. We design and build wide clear-span machinery sheds, farm workshops, implement bays, hay sheds, stables, arenas, and rural storage buildings - engineered for local wind and site conditions and constructed by our own tradesmen.

Farm workshops
Secure, lockable workshops with power, lighting, benches and ventilation - built where you actually need them on the property.
Open-bay implement sheds
Quick-access bays for tractors, slashers, tillage gear and trailers. Optional partial walls for weather protection.
Hay & fodder storage
Tall, ventilated sheds designed for hay, grain and feed storage with easy truck access and reduced condensation.
Stables & arenas
Covered yards, stables and dressage arenas engineered for animal use, ventilation and long-term durability.
Built for the paddock
Engineered for your property's wind region, with cast-in slab rebates and heavy-duty connections that outlast bracket-kit sheds.
Genuine Australian steel
Every Spartan Shed is built from 100% Australian BlueScope® steel with genuine COLORBOND®, COLORBOND® Ultra or ZINCALUME® finishes - backed by BlueScope® steel warranties and our own workmanship guarantee. Ask us for full warranty details on your specific building. More on the steel we build from.

The build process
From first enquiry to handover,here's exactly what happens
Building a rural shed should be simple and well managed. We take care of the entire process - from design, engineering and approvals through to earthworks, slab, construction and handover. Your project is managed in-house by one experienced local team, giving you a clear point of responsibility from start to finish.
Typical timeline: Project timeframes depend on the size and complexity of the building, engineering and approvals, manufacturing lead times and our construction schedule. Timings vary between projects, with some stages dependent on external approvals and manufacturing lead times. We provide an anticipated project timeframe as part of the quoting and scheduling process.
- 01Week 1
Enquiry & design
Tell us what you need, or start by creating your own concept in our 3D Shed Designer. We’ll then work through the building size, span, height, access, doors, cladding and intended use to develop a design that suits your property and requirements.
- 02Week 1–2
Detailed quote
We prepare a detailed, site-specific quote based on your proposed design and property - not a generic kit price. It considers the engineering, wind classification, slab requirements, site conditions and access needed to deliver the complete build.
- 03Week 2–4
Engineering & certification
Once you’re happy to proceed, we prepare the site-specific engineering and construction documentation for your building and coordinate the required building certification to suit your property, design and wind classification.
- 04Typically 2–6 weeks
Council approval
Where council approval is required, we prepare, lodge and manage the application through to decision. This may include matters relating to boundary setbacks, building size or height, amenity and aesthetics.
- 05Week 4–8
Fabrication & delivery
Your BlueScope® steel structural frame is fabricated with heavy-duty welded steel plate connections, while all other materials and components are sourced, manufactured and prepared to suit your approved design, specifications and selected COLORBOND® finishes.
- 062–4 weeks on site
Slab & construction
Our own tradesmen carry out the earthworks and slab preparation and pour, before moving through structural frame erection, cladding, doors, flashings and final building components. The construction phase is managed in-house from slab through to completion.

Everything to sort outbefore your machinery shed goes up
Size, materials, kit versus custom, and the boundary setbacks, height limits and site cover rules that apply where you're building. Our Building Guide covers it in plain English - and we handle the approvals, engineering and certification in-house.

Rural shed FAQ
How wide can a machinery shed be without internal posts?
Clear spans depend on wind region, door loads and column size. We commonly build clear-span rural sheds up to 24 metres wide and can engineer wider with the right column and portal frame design.
Do you build on farm sites outside Bundaberg?
Yes. We travel throughout the Wide Bay, Fraser Coast, Gladstone Region and North Burnett for rural builds, and we supply shed kits Australia-wide with phone support for owner builders.
Can you add a workshop or office into a machinery shed?
Yes. We can incorporate enclosed workshops, amenities, offices and mezzanine storage into the same building envelope.
