Why timber pole sheds are so popular in NZ!

Timber pole sheds, a Kiwi favourite for over 100 years!

Timber pole sheds have stood the test of time for Kiwi farmers and are well proven in the harshest conditions. For hard working types who are looking for a durable and long lasting solution to protect their assets, timber pole sheds are the popular choice. Pole sheds are typically built using H5 treated timber poles that are set in a concrete footing deep into the ground. The poles support the main framework and provide the backbone of the shed structure.

One of the big benefits of timber pole sheds is their durability. Timber is able to withstand corrosive elements such as sea spray and animal urine making them an excellent option for rural applications and where the shed is fully or partly open to the weather. In animal housing situations, a timber pole is able to withstand impact or a knock from animals without damaging the structural integrity of your shed.

A timber pole shed with properly designed footings can withstand the forces of nature even in high wind zones and will last for a lifetime in harsh conditions. Deep pile foundations are ideal for situations where a concrete floor is not required as these are well proven to withstand extreme uplift without the need for a concrete floor.

Pole sheds are very versatile. They come in a wide variety and range of sizes and styles and can be customised to suit most applications and needs. From a small storage shed for garden tools or a larger structure used for all types of farm equipment, a timber pole shed can be designed to best meet your particular requirements. Pole sheds are also simple and easy to build often saving on labour costs.

With a natural aesthetic appeal, the natural wood grains and textures of the timber are a popular choice for when a rustic, timeless look is desired. Timber gives a warm feel and will complement any outdoor setting.

Timber pole sheds are an environmentally friendly choice. Timber is a renewable resource that can be sustainably harvested and used for construction. By choosing a timber pole shed, you can reduce your environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. Find examples here: https://www.fortbuildings.co.nz/pole-sheds
