Is it Time to Replace those Old Farm Buildings?

Sometimes, the familiarity of an old building can be a source of comfort. Consequently, we have a tendency to hold on to our old farm buildings long after they should be torn down. What others may see as an eyesore or an accident waiting to happen, we still see as an old friend. Sometimes, though, it’s time to let go of the old, and bring in the new.

Is your barn or machinery shed full of holes and patches? Are there structural damages that look like they could be trouble someday, but are still holding on? Do they need a little more than just another paint job to truly look good again?

We have the answer for you. At Action Sheds Australia, we can deliver anderect a barn, machinery shed, stable, or farm shed for a lot less money than you might think it would cost. If you want to erect the shed or barn yourself, we can just deliver it for you.

We have plenty of options for you. You can get afarm shed with a roller door and an open bay for versatile use. If you need everything closed, we can also give you a double sliding door. If, on the other hand, you don’t need a closed shed, and just need to cover up bales of hay, you can get an open front farm shed. You can build stables out of a farm shed with open bays.

Our farm sheds are built of ultra-high quality BlueScope steel, which exceeds all known industry standards, with a rating 450MPA or higher. We provide a structural guarantee of ten years on all farm shed, and can deliver them throughout Australia.

Betta Warwick Storage is Up and Running with 30 Storage Sheds and 90 More to Come

Sheds are great for storage. For personal or business use, they give the most bang for your buck of any building. You can build a huge shed for a fraction of the cost of a frame or brick building, but the reliability factor is close to being the same.

This month’s spotlight is on Betta Warwick Storage in Warwick WA. The facility, owned by Yve Stocks and Phil Ariel, is managed by Landmark Harcourts, and is on their property at 17-19 Betta Pl in Warwick WA. The owners have found storage sheds to be a perfect solution for storage facilities because of their durability and economy.

Though the word “shed” sometimes evokes images of simplicity and bare necessities, the reality is that sheds are now being used for increasingly modern applications. Landmark Harcourts’ advertising refers to the facility as “purpose-built and high-tech.” According to Yve Stocks, self-storage using industrial sheds is an effective solution for “de-cluttering your home” and “storing items knowing they’re safe and secure.”

Thirty of the sheds are currently ready for use, with another 90 being planned, for a total of 120 storage sheds. The facility has no onsite management, and is considered “purely customer-responsible,” but it features a high-tech security system working round the clock to ensure that only those who are authorised to access the site are able to do so.

Each customer gets their own unique user code, so they can enter and exit the facility whenever they need to. Customers will be responsible for their own padlocks and keys. The site has numerous security cameras installed all over the facility. When combined with the pass codes, they ensure that customers don’t have to worry about theft.

The sheds are also sealed, so as to be virtually leak-proof. The facility currently offers an opening special of $35 per week for a shed measuring 6m by 3m.

For us, this is just a confirmation of the popularity of sheds for so many uses. More and more businesses are coming to the conclusion that sheds make more financial sense than expensive bricks and mortar buildings. All sheds in Australia must come with an Engineers Certificate of Compliance. This virtually ensures that your shed will be safe for any usage for which it is designed.

At Action Sheds our industrial sheds come in Zincalume® or Colorbond® steel. Both are heavy duty steel, but resist corrosion up to four times the rate of galvanised steel. They can stand up to any Australian weather, and can protect your valuables as well as conventional buildings.

If you’re a business that is looking to expand, or one that just needs a little more storage space, sheds make sense. If you are someone with a small plot of land looking for a nice little commercial operation, you could easily do the same thing Landmark Harcourts is doing, but on a smaller scale if necessary.

But what if you are just a homeowner who needs more space? There are plenty of shed options available for you, too. A garage or workshop shed can double or triple the amount of space you may have for storage in your house, but for a lot less money than an addition. Garages don’t comply with building codes for living space, but that is a large part of what makes them such an economical solution for storage.

A well-conceived storage shed or garage can give you the freedom and effective living space of a much larger house. Why? Because it can allow you to remove a lot of your personal goods from your living space. Consequently, you can use the space that you just cleared as more living area within your house, while your possessions are safe and sound in a shed that is economical and out of the way.

Not only do you get more space inside, but you get less clutter, and your house is more organised simply by the act of having moved goods fit for storage into a storage area. In other words, a garage or workshop-sized shed can help you organise your house, leaves you with less clutter, and gives you more living space, all for a fraction of the cost of an addition or the cost of moving up to a larger house.

For retirees who want to dial down and move to a smaller house for retirement, a workshop or garage shed might maximise your lifestyle by allowing you to spend as little as possible on living space and as much as possible on enjoying retirement.

If you want some more space, or if you want a storage solution, take the example of Betta Warwick Storage to heart. Call us today at 1300 778 628 for an estimate, or visit our website for a quote.
