A Shed Can Increase Your Property Value
Having quality, heavy-duty sheds on your rural property will increase the value of your property if/when it comes time to sell.
A Shed Can Capture Waste Stormwater
By installing a rain harvesting and storage system your shed has the potential to capture a large amount of waste stormwater (depending on the area’s rainfall).
Harvesting this storm water can reduce operational expenses and help fire-proof your shed.
A Shed Can Maintain The Quality & Value Of Your Produce
A hay shed helps protect your hay from weather and heat damage and, if it’s a hot dip galvanised Action hay shed, it will do this year after year.
- Hay that isn’t heat or weather damaged is a lot more attractive to buyers because they know that quality and nutritious hay will boost livestock performance and productivity. As a result, buyers will be prepared to pay more, and this is reflected in the market value of shedded hay.
- The other advantage from a seller’s perspective is the market flexibility a hay shed offers. A hay shed allows you to store your hay with no storage fees and wait until market conditions are ideal and prices peak.
A Shed Can Improve Machinery Resale Value
- A machinery shed will help you receive the highest possible resale or trade-in price for your machinery and protects equipment and parts from weather damage.
- The security that a full-enclosed lock-up machinery shed provides also means your machinery is less likely to be targeted by thieves or vandals.
A Shed Can Save You Time & Money
- A workshop makes keeping your machinery in tip-top condition easier and maintenance can be done in even the most inclement weather.
- Like a machinery shed, a work shopt shed contributes to a better resale or trade-in value as well as saving time (and money) – there will be less time spent locating tools when they are stored in a designated area and less unscheduled downtime at harvest working on repairs.
