What is a pole shed?
A pole shed is built using timber poles that are concreted into the ground to provide both structural and foundational support. These types of sheds are typically made from timber or steel framing or a combo of both. Pole sheds are relatively simple in their construction which is why they can be a popular choice. Talk to the team about your pole shed options.
Do I need a building consent for a pole shed?
Consent can vary depending on your location and the size of the shed. We can help you navigate the permitting process or connect you with the appropriate resources.
What is the building code for a pole shed or hay barn in NZ?
The pole shed or hay barn must only be one storey. The height must not exceed 4 metres above the floor level. The floor level must not exceed 1 metre off the supporting ground, and the unsupported roof span must not exceed 6 metres.
