3 Fantastic Benefits of This Clever 10m Monopitch Farm Shed
When you need high-performance storage on your property, you don’t always need a massive, wide-span footprint. Sometimes, the smartest solution is a sleek, streamlined design that maximizes boundary lines or narrow spaces. The Fair Dinkum Builds Clarence Valley team recently handed over the keys to a custom 2.8m x 10m farm shed that is an absolute masterclass in spatial efficiency. If you’ve been trying to figure out how to add secure storage or a dedicated workshop to a specific section of your land, this clever build offers plenty of inspiration.
1. The Monopitch Advantage: Modern & Functional
Instead of a traditional peak, this client opted for a 5-degree Monopitch (skillion) roof. This sloping design shoots the height up from a 2.9m eave to a 3.14m apex.
- The Look: It gives the shed a sharp, architectural, modern look that complements contemporary homes and rural properties alike.
- The Benefit: It allows for excellent water runoff in one specific direction—perfect for harvesting rainwater into a tank or keeping water away from adjacent structures.
2. Premium Colorbond® Wallaby in a Classic Profile
To ensure the shed looked right at home in the Clarence Valley landscape, it was finished in Colorbond Wallaby. This warm, earthy mid-grey blends beautifully with native timber, stone, and dirt. Rather than the standard industrial look, the client chose the classic Corrugated profile, giving the building a timeless, traditional Australian character with all the benefits of modern steel.
3. Effortless Dual Access
Getting your gear in and out of a long, 10-meter shed requires smart access points. This build features:
- The Main Entries: Secure roller doors measuring 2.50m high x 2.65m wide, providing a generous 2.5m height clearance. This makes it incredibly easy to back in a boat, park a side-by-side vehicle, or roll in heavy machinery.
- The PA Door: A dedicated personal access (PA) door was installed, meaning you don’t have to roll up a massive steel door just to grab a screwdriver or check on your gear.
Do I need Council Approval to build a Shed in NSW?
In NSW, if you require council approval depends on a few factors such as the size, shed location and what you will be using the structure for. Many smaller, standard sheds can be built without council approval while larger or more complex structures may require council approval. Generally speaking, if your build meets the below conditions, it could meet exemptions and won’t need approval, remembering that every council across Australia builds and approves to a different set of rules. We can assist with the council process and advise accordingly.
You generally don’t need council approval if:
- The build floor area is 20 square meters or less
- It is no higher than 3 metres above grand level
- It is set back at least 900mm from the property boundaries
- It is not located in front of the house
- The build is for domestic purposes
- It doesn’t have any living areas or bathrooms
- The property exists under a residential zone
- There are no heritage or environmental restrictions on the site
