Your hay shed should do more than keep fodder undercover. It should help protect feed quality, simplify handling and support the way your farm operates throughout the year.
Whether you're storing round bales, square bales or mixed fodder, TechSpan designs hay sheds around your storage requirements, machinery access and future growth. Every structure is planned to protect valuable feed while making loading, unloading and day-to-day handling as efficient as possible.
Not sure where to start with a hay shed?
We guide the shed layout, orientation and site preparation early, helping create efficient storage and long-term protection for your fodder.
How do you configure a hay shed for maximum storage?
We design the shed layout around bale stacking, bay spacing and airflow to maximise storage capacity while maintaining practical access.
What size hay shed do you actually need?
We design the shed around your bale volumes, stacking methods and machinery access, ensuring the right storage capacity for your operation today and into the future.
Common Challenges When Planning a Hay Shed
Planning a hay shed involves much more than deciding how big it needs to be. Every decision, from site orientation and airflow to machinery access and future storage requirements, can influence how well your fodder is protected and how efficiently your operation runs.
When planning your project, it's worth considering:
- Protecting hay from wind-driven rain, moisture and excessive heat.
- Designing efficient access for loaders, trucks and daily handling.
- Providing sufficient space for bale stacking and future storage growth.
- Optimising shed orientation to improve airflow and reduce spoilage risk.
- Allowing for future expansion as your operation changes.
- Creating safe vehicle movements around loading and unloading areas.
- Maximising the long-term value of your investment.
