Sheds and rural buildings in Narromine.
Narromine sits about 40km west of Dubbo on the flat, irrigated cropping country of the western Macquarie. It is serious broadacre and cotton territory, which means big machinery, big grain stores and sheds that have to stand up to wind off some of the most open country in the Central West. That is the work we do.
What the western plains demand from a shed.
Big machinery, big spans.
Narromine farms run large cropping and cotton machinery: wide headers, air seeders on big bars, boom sprays and the prime movers that cart it all. That calls for generous clear spans and tall eaves, so a 9m bay width and a 5m to 6m eave is a common starting point for an open-front machinery shed out here. We size the bays around the gear, so nothing has to be folded or jiggled to fit.
Grain and fertiliser storage.
With the cropping comes bulk storage. Grain and fertiliser push hard against the walls, so these sheds need a heavier portal frame, a sealed and reinforced slab and good ridge ventilation to keep condensation off the stack through a cold plains winter. We design the bracing and the footings for the actual stored load, not for an empty shell.
The most exposed Region A sites we build on.
The flat, cleared country around Narromine and Trangie is about as exposed as Region A gets under AS 1170.2. With little to slow a westerly, the terrain category on an open paddock pushes the design wind speed up, and that has to be engineered into the portal spacing, the bracing and the footings. This is exactly where a generic kit rating falls short and a site-engineered shed pays off.
Typical Narromine jobs.
- Large open-front machinery sheds for cropping and cotton gear
- Enclosed grain and fertiliser stores with reinforced slabs
- Tall hay and fodder sheds on irrigated blocks
- Commercial sheds for ag contractors and transport
- Garages and carports on town and lifestyle blocks
What a Narromine shed costs.
As a 2026 worked example, a 24m x 12m x 6m open-front 3-bay machinery shed on a cropping block near Narromine runs around $58,000 to $88,000 supplied and erected, before slab and power. A 21m x 12m enclosed grain store with a reinforced slab sits higher again because of the wall loads and the slab spec. Every quote is fixed and written, with the frame, cladding, doors and slab itemised. See the full pricing page and the shed cost in Dubbo guide for the bands.
