Custom Machinery Shed Build on the Yorke Peninsula: Designed for Modern Farming

February 9, 2026

A purpose‑built machinery shed engineered for modern farming on the Yorke Peninsula


Magnus Australia has completed another high‑quality rural shed project—this time a purpose‑built machinery shed on the Yorke Peninsula, designed specifically to support today’s larger, more advanced farming equipment. With strong, practical design and premium Bluescope steel, this shed delivers the durability, accessibility, and ease of use that local farmers rely on.


A Shed Built for Modern Machinery


This new machinery shed features impressive dimensions of 27m long x 18m deep with a 6m height clearance, offering an exceptional internal height for a wide range of cropping and broadacre implements. Whether it’s air seeders, tractors, sprayers, or harvest gear, the generous footprint provides flexible, accessible storage all year round.


To maximise usable space and ensure smooth operation, the shed includes 12 floor‑rolling sliding doors. This system reduces strain on the structure, improves long‑term reliability, and allows the doors to glide easily—ideal for farmers needing fast, safe access to equipment during busy seasons.

Large openings along the front of the shed make manoeuvring machinery straightforward, with plenty of clearance to drive in, turn, and park without hassle.


Purpose‑Built for the Yorke Peninsula Farming Landscape


Farming on the Yorke Peninsula demands infrastructure that can withstand harsh coastal conditions, strong winds, and the demands of high‑output cropping operations. That’s why every Magnus shed is engineered to handle local environmental loads while offering the strength, efficiency, and comfort that modern farms need.

This machinery shed was designed not just for storage, but also for daily practicality, including:


  • Ample clearance for oversized equipment
  • Smooth floor‑rolling door operation
  • Wide access points for large headers, trucks, and seeders
  • Strong, engineered framing that stands up to tough conditions


Australian Steel, Local Expertise


With more than 36 years in manufacturing and three decades of rural shed construction, Magnus continues to deliver sheds that farmers trust for their strength, longevity, and value. Every shed is built using premium Australian-made steel, ensuring consistency, reliability, and structural integrity you can count on.


Kev and Brendan work closely with farmers to understand exactly what they need—from machinery access and building orientation to door configurations and long‑term site planning.


Custom Solutions for Every Farm


This Yorke Peninsula shed is just one example of how Magnus designs and builds infrastructure that supports the way real farmers work. While this project focused on machinery housing, we regularly deliver tailored solutions for:


  • Grain storage
  • Hay sheds
  • Workshop sheds
  • Shearing and livestock facilities
  • Shearing sheds
  • Mixed-use rural buildings
