At Tim Riley Pole Sheds we use a variety of respectable companies to ensure all of our sheds are of the utmost quality. We can design to meet the customers needs and are also happy to put up kit-set sheds if requested. Our main reason for building our own range of sheds like we do is that we can source and control the materials we use ensuring quality all the way throughout the building process. We have full confidence in the products, which are in most cases locally sourced, that we use, and make sure they are eco- friendly.
We may use sub-contractors for various parts of the build depending on circumstances or size but with the majority of builds we use our own skilled staff.
We maintain a fleet of specialist equipment and vehicles to high standards of safety for the likes of lifting poles into place and lifting heavy timbers and roofing materials etc. In this way we do not have to rely on availability of hired equipment and, importantly, ensures we are meeting our Health and Safety objectives.
Some Things You Should Consider When Building A Shed
When you look to build you should take into consideration some of the valued ideas below.
“A shed is never big enough and the bigger the shed, the more you put in it”
It is cheaper to build a shed slightly bigger now than it is to add onto it at a later stage. For this you will need to plan for the structures future use. Are you needing it for storage, are vehicles able to access it with ease, if it’s for stock can they flow freely.
Secondly the materials – where possible it is best to be eco-friendly by using products that are renewable and locally sourced or New Zealand made. Wooden poles and timber framing are both strong and friendly and with iron cladding that meets NZ standards your shed will be strong, durable and weather proof. You may also want to consider the type of iron you want to use, whether you need doors, either roller or sectional, any windows, roof underlay and netting to the roof and perhaps a vermin flashing around the base of the shed, or maybe spouting.
Where are you putting the shed on the property. Things to take into account here are boundary offset distances, wind (speed and direction), snow loadings, closeness to other trees or hazards, land contour, even an apparently flat paddock can have some fall over the length of the shed and may require some site works, and if you are looking to have power proximity to source.
