Gall farm bulk storage shed
Project overview
Graeme runs a mixed farming enterprise between Moree, New South Wales, and Taroom, Queensland. As his operations expanded, he needed a new dual-purpose farm shed — one that could function as both a grain storage building and a machinery shed.
During the height of COVID-19 restrictions and supply chain uncertainty, Graeme was concerned about delays and material shortages. He approached Central Steel Build with initial design ideas and clear functional requirements: a clearance height of over six metres and open access at both ends for large equipment movement.
Our design and engineering team worked closely with Graeme to develop a custom solution that balanced practicality, cost-efficiency, and performance — ensuring his new shed would support long-term productivity and value across seasons.

Project success and impact:
To meet the operational requirements, Central Steel Build designed the structure with a large sliding door at one end and open access at the other, providing dual-entry functionality while maintaining budget efficiency.
Despite lockdowns and interstate restrictions, the project proceeded without delay thanks to our streamlined supply chain and project coordination. The shed was completed on schedule, purpose-built to handle heavy machinery and bulk grain storage.
This project highlights our ability to deliver custom agricultural sheds that meet the unique demands of Australian farmers — designed for strength, flexibility, and performance that lasts.
“We run a mixed operation between Moree and Taroom in Queensland. Some time ago we decided that with the expansion of our business we needed an undercover area for much of our machinery to be stored. It was at that juncture that we approached Central Steel Build to see if they could do something in terms of a shed. That process took a few months because we had to conceptualise everything and understand the best design configuration and we came up with this shed that has dual purpose. We can store machinery in it or if the need arises we can store grain in it as well. Its quite high so we can get our machinery in and out. One of the things we tried to do was make sure the shed is dual purpose. We can store some gear on the other side of the shed that is stationary – we don’t want to use it day to day. We have the doors at the end of the shed which allows a couple of lanes of machinery that we can move in and out as required. I think Central Steel Build did a good job. When we approached them with some concepts we were able to work through the different alternatives and come up with a design that was going to work for us, so that was appreciated. The drafting process flowed well and then we were put through a number of processes and teams in the business as we progressed towards construction. We’ve had a number of sheds that we’ve put up in Queensland and we were certainly impressed by Central Steel Build and the quality of their construction materials. The columns are great – you can see that there’s some proper structure. We’re very happy with the way Central Steel Build handled the process right from conceptualising through to construction and everything went smoothly. The construction was in the middle of Covid-19 which was challenging but everything happened in reasonable timeframes given the restrictions at the time.”
