Rural Sheds Built for New Zealand Conditions
Robust engineering and functional design for all your sheed needs.
At Waikato Sheds, we design and build custom rural sheds that are engineered to handle the demanding conditions of New Zealand farms and properties. Whether you need a secure farm implement shed, hay storage, a workshop, or a multi-bay open-fronted shed, we provide durable, functional structures tailored to your needs.
Custom Designed for Your Land and Operation
No two farms are the same, which is why our sheds aren’t one-size-fits-all. We work closely with you to design a shed that fits your land, equipment, and goals. From layout to access points, roller doors, open bays, and internal divisions — everything is customizable. Whether you need a 3-bay hay shed or a large implement storage solution, we’ll design it right.
Proven Performance Across the Waikato and Beyond

Extras and Features
Extra height
Whether it’s for getting the boat, campervan or machinery inside. We can help! We make most our Shedhouses 3.5m high to the eave which allows for a 3m x 3m roller door, perfect for getting that new boat in. If you’re after a mezzanine in your shed, we can do that too! 5m to the eave is typically the height we use for our two storey builds.
Additional Bays
We are also able to add extra bays to either side of the sheds if need be, as well as being able to customise the size of each of your bays. This allows you to have the shed you want.
