Transforming Your Farm with Custom QLD Shade Sheds

One of the biggest challenges faced by a farming operation is creating sheltered, weatherproof spaces in a convenient, cost-effective way. Farms need to protect their harvest, their machinery and also expand or reduce the number of shelters on their property to adapt to changing circumstances. Here at QLD Shade Sheds, our custom shed manufacturing team works closely with Australia’s farmers to provide them with shelters that are reliable and easy to install.

Modify to Suit Your Needs 

The versatility of portable shade shelters is tremendously useful for agriculture professionals. Success in the farming sector requires specialists to make quick decisions in order to solve problems in a timely manner. Need to erect an additional structure on short notice for storing the harvest? Do you need to purchase new machinery and protect it from harsh weather? A shade shed can be installed or modified to keep up with the pace of your farming operation.

Shade shelters can be set up anywhere and are available with several hold down options such as ground anchors for grass as well as saddles and bolts for installation on a concrete slab.

Strong, Affordable Shelters 

Although versatility is important for all weather shelters, the real test of the product is in its ability to withstand extreme conditions while providing unparalleled protection. At QLD Shade Sheds, we manufacture open ended shelters using strong, durable materials that provide an excellent solution for protecting valuable farming machinery from the harsh weather.

Protect Livestock 

Shade sheds are made using high-quality galvanised steel frames, Colorbond® sheeting and come with hold down options for concrete and grass. This allows customers to set up structures that can be extended or reduced in size, and protect large numbers of livestock using shed materials that are stable, durable and non-toxic.

Durable Tractor Shelter For Your Farm

Does your farming operation need portable shade structures or all weather shelters for livestock and machinery? QLD Shade Sheds specialises in building made to order shelters that are certified Wind Regions A, B and C in Australia. Contact our team for sheds delivered right to your doorstep with detailed DIY assembly instructions.

Shade Sheds vs. Traditional Structures in Queensland

shade sheds

If you’re interested in adding a structure to your space that will protect a boat or vehicle, or act as a horse shade shelter, you may find yourself with several options to choose from. For some, a traditional structure that requires a builder and the laying of a foundation might be the best investment, while others may be in the market for a more convenient, versatile and lightweight solution. At QLD Shade Sheds, we design portable shade structures that are cost-effective, easy to install and easy to transport. In this blog, we discuss the reasons why our portable shade shelters are superior to traditional structures.

Easy to Relocate

Shade sheds are made from extremely durable, lightweight materials that are easy to store and transport. This allows a client to move, repurpose and readjust their shade shed as per their requirements. Looking to turn a horse shade shelter into a boat shelter? Simply take the structure apart and relocate it in no time at all.

A Great Choice if You’re Renting or Selling

A traditional structure requires the laying of a foundation slab, and a number of other regulations that take time and cost money that you may be unwilling to invest in a property that is not your own. QLD Shade Sheds on the other hand, offers a completely relocatable shelter that is easy to install. Similarly, if you’re thinking of selling your home, QLD Shade Sheds offers car or boat shelters that can be taken with you.

Easy to Install 

Whether it’s a boat shelter or a shed for a 4WD, you can rest assured that your new shade shelter will be easy to install with detailed assembly instructions from our team. Portable shade shelters come with a concrete free hold down option should you wish to install it on grass.

All-Weather, Multipurpose Shade Sheds in QLD 

QLD Shade Sheds manufactures high-quality shelters that meet the highest Australian standards. Each product is made using galvanised steel frames with Colorbond® sheeting. Contact us today to find out how our shade sheds are superior to traditional structures.

Tips for Keeping Your QLD Shade Shed in Top Condition

shade sheds

Whether you’re looking for all-weather shade shelters or transportable shade sheds, QLD Shade Sheds has the products you need. Our shade shelters are specially designed to withstand Australian weather conditions and are remarkably easy to maintain. Regular maintenance of a shade shed helps you get the most out of your investment by identifying potentially serious problems early and keeping your shed in excellent working condition even during heavy storms. Read on for maintenance advice for your shade shed.

Maintenance Tips for Your Shade Shed in QLD

QLD Shade Sheds provides customers with a detailed maintenance schedule once their shed has been dispatched. The first maintenance should be carried out three months after installation and, following that, an annual maintenance should suffice.

Nuts and Screws 

The first step is to do a complete check of all nuts and screws used in the structure. Tighten the components if needed, and if some are missing, replacement parts can be purchased at QLD Shade Sheds.

Check Structure 

Inspect your all weather shelter for leaks and cracks, as well as the steel frame. Over time, dents and cracks can appear in a shed and if left unaddressed, can lead to expensive repairs down the road. At QLD Shade Sheds, we are known for providing excellent customer support, so if a client has a concern about their shed, our sales team is always there to help.

Check for Rust

If you live in an area that receives a lot of rainfall, you should look closely to spot any signs of rust on your shed. In case of rust, we recommend sanding down the affected area to remove rust, and then respraying it with a couple of coats of high-quality silver zinc spray for protection against moisture.

Pressure Wash Exterior 

Even the most robust shade shed will experience wear and tear due to dust, debris and other environmental factors. One of the best ways to protect the sturdy exterior of your shed is to regularly pressure wash the shed to dislodge corrosive materials.

Shade Shed in QLD For Residential and Commercial Use 

QLD Shade Sheds delivers custom made shade sheds for a wide range of applications. Our shed kits are designed with easy installation in mind and include detailed instructions for assembly. Contact our team today for transportable shade shed products, shed maintenance tips and more.

Protection From the Elements

The Australian climate can be harsh, with intense heat, strong winds and intense storms.

Each Shade Shed is built to order using RHS galvanised steel and Colorbond® sheeting and flashing, in your choice of colour from their standard range. As a standard, we build our Shade Sheds with one Colorbond® sheet in each side wall, but this can be easily modified to include half and full side walls on one or both sides for added protection.
