Stockman’s Popular Shed Sizes
We can build sheds as big as you need them. We recently completed a farm shed in Gombungee that’s 36-metres long by 11-metres wide. She’s a real beauty, you can have a look in the images.
Many of our sheds come in around the 100-square-metre mark. That size gives a good balance of functionality and cost effectiveness, finding a sweet spot for property wonders with a bit of extra space on their property.
Here are some examples of shed sizes we regularly build:
10m x 10m (100m²) – The perfect multi-purpose shed. If you’re looking for a workshop, vehicle storage, or both, you’ll have more than enough room to move with this size shed.
9m x 12m (108m²) – The added depth comes in handy here, making it easier to store larger items while keeping access clear. This is a good option for storing farm equipment, boats, caravans, or running a home business.
7m x 12m (84m²) – There’s ample versatility in this mid-sized shed, mking it perfect for, keeping your vehicles and dirt bikes safe and secure, while still having space to tinker on them!
We create fully custom sheds at Stockman and can easily meet your specific size requirements. Get in touch with our team and let’s chat about your shed idea!
Are Bigger Sheds More Cost-Effective?
How big you go on your shed will obviously be budget dependant too. Bigger sheds require more materials and construction time, so will cost more than your standard shed.
If you talk to us about what you need the shed for and your budget, we’ll put figure out the best shed for both.
Here’s a handy hint we always give potential shed owners - going taller is often a smarter investment than increasing the floor space. Cubic storage is more cost effective than square storage - you don’t need to increase the size of your slab, or add any additional roof space. The additional cost is in the walls and pillars, which will work out less.
You gain more storage capacity without a massive increase in material costs. You then get the following benefits of having a taller shed:
More Stacked storage (ideal for shelving and racking)
Room for overhead hoists or even a mezzanine level
Better airflow and ventilation
Efficient use of space without needing a bigger footprint.
If you’re debating whether to go wider or taller, At Stockman we recommend adding the extra height. It’ll work out more cost effective for you!
Why Shed Size Matters
Size equals functionality with sheds, so landing on the right dimensions is crucial to your ongoing happiness with your shed. You don’t want to run out of space, and although we always feel you’ll find a use for your shed space, you don’t want to overestimate either.
Here are five key reasons why size matters:
More Storage, Less Clutter
You build a shed for a purpose, and if it doesn’t meet that purpose you’re going to get frustrated. One of the main reasons this happens is it turns out to be undersized for what you need it for. A large sheds means less clutter and less rearranging to make space.
Future Proofing
When you build with Stockman, your shed will be standing for decades to come. You need to ensure it matches your needs over time. Your business is going to grow, your family is going to grow, and you want your shed to keep up. Allowing for extra space to grow into is the answer!
Better Workflow
If your shed is a functional centre for business operations, like a farm shed or a workshop, you’re going to need room to move. Having a spacious layout let’s you work comfortably.
Value Adding
A large shed is a big asset. When the times comes to sell your property, it could be seen as a major advantage. People love a big shed, and it could be the feature that gets your sale over the line!
Versatility
A larger shed gives you more options, and its not just about storing more stuff. That extra space is multi-functional and could be used as a workspace, home gym, studio or office. More space means more possibilities.
What Else Can You Customise?
Size is just one part of the equation when it comes to designing your Stockman Shed. For true functionality and the shed of your dreams, you need the right features. Other customisation options to chat with our designers about include:
Colour
We use COLORBOND® cladding for the roof and walls of our shed, and it comes in 21 sublime colours. Pick the one that matches your space!
Roller Doors
Need extra-wide access for machinery or vehicles? Go big on the size and number of your roller doors.
Design and Layout
We can tailor your shed to how you’ll use it. Think open bays, enclosed internal areas, mezzanine floors - let’s hear your ideas.
PA Doors
Personal access doors are a handy addition to improve access for foot traffic, and even enhance the security of your shed.
Windows
We use Bradnams for all our windows and sliding glass doors. Improve airflow, access, and natural light by adding multiple windows or upsizing your windows.
