Now Buildings Shed Goes Viral

The Shed That Went Viral

Every now and then, a project comes along that makes people stop scrolling.

This was one of them.

What started as a custom-designed grain storage shed in Richmond, QLD quickly took off on Facebook, reaching over 1 million impressions and getting plenty of attention from farmers and operators across the country.

And when you see it, you understand why.

At 261 metres long, this shed stretches out across the landscape in a way that’s hard to ignore. It’s not just big, it’s the largest shed we’ve ever designed at Now Buildings.

The brief was simple. The client needed serious grain storage capacity. Not something standard. Not something that would just get by. Something that was designed properly for the job.

So that’s what we set out to do.

See the Shed for Yourself

Sometimes videos explain it better than words.

The finished shed comes in at 20 metres wide, 261 metres long and 7.4 metres high, with a total of 5,220 square metres of floor space. It’s hard to picture that kind of size, but to give it some context, you could fit around 520 Toyota LandCruisers inside, parked side by side.

There’s a fair bit that goes into a build like this too.

We’re talking over 12.1 kilometres of sheeting and 84,911 screws, all delivered to site across multiple truckloads. When you’re working at this scale, everything matters. Planning, logistics, engineering. It all has to line up.

But what really got people talking wasn’t just the size.

It was what the shed represents.

If you’re running a farm or a large operation, you know how quickly you can run out of space. And when that happens, “just enough” doesn’t cut it. You need something that actually works long term. That’s what people connected with when they saw this build. It’s practical, it’s purpose-built, and it’s designed to handle real workloads.

Like all Now Buildings sheds, this one was designed specifically for the site and built using 100% Australian made steel, with heavy-duty connections and engineering suited to Australian conditions.

Although it was designed for grain storage, it’s already showing how versatile a shed like this can be. At the moment it’s housing trucks, machinery, vehicles and even light aircraft. When the design is right from the start, you’re not boxed into one use.

Projects like this don’t come along often.

They start with a clear need and end up showing just how far you can go when you build something properly.

If anything, this shed is a good reminder of what’s possible when you stop trying to make do and design something that actually fits your operation.

If you’re thinking about your next shed, or you’ve outgrown what you’ve got, it might be time to look at something bigger

Why Trade Farm Machinery Says: Quality & experience behind NB success

Why Farms & Farm Machinery Says: “Quality and experience behind Now Buildings’ success”

This article was originally published by TradeFarmMachinery.com.au. Republished here with permission.

Quality and experience behind Now Buildings’ success

Thousands of happy customers cannot be wrong – and Now Buildings has almost two decades worth of reviews to back up the quality of its rural sheds

There is no substitute for either quality or experience, and rural shed manufacturer Now Buildings has an abundance of both these traits.

Producing top-quality, Australian-made sheds that last – and ensuring its customers are looked after – are unwavering values for Now Buildings.

Even the company’s origin story speaks to these values.

“I’ve been in the industry for about 30 years and I used to own half of a very large shed company which I sold in 2006,” Now Buildings director Trevor Walker says.

“The reason I sold out is because although it was a good company, I wanted to do things better.

“I wanted to do things where the customers were put first, and that is something we don’t take lightly.

“From our point of view, it is crucial that we exceed the customers’ expectations in every single thing in the whole chain.”

As Now Buildings nears 20 years in operation, this approach has helped the company grow its annual turnover from $2 million to over $30 million and develop a list of thousands of happy customers along the way.

Farmer’s mate

Now Buildings is not a residential shed builder who looks to simply increase the size of its products to accommodate farm machinery.

It is exclusively a rural shed manufacturer who knows that Australia’s farmers work in some of the harshest conditions imaginable and need sheds to match.

Made using BlueScope steel – something which has been the case since the company’s inception – these are locally-made sheds specifically designed for rural Australia.

High quality materials are used on all sheds. Image: Now Buildings

Another benefit of the company’s established presence in the market is having access to a strong network of shed builders it can draw upon when required, wherever the job may be.

“We have a network of 25 full time independent builders, and we don’t charge anything on top of their costs which means the customer saves money,” Walker says.

“We’ve also got about the same number again in part time builders and this gives us excellent building coverage right across the country.

“We also train the builders to make sure that customers are getting the very best quality in that regard as well.”

Now Buildings is a wholesale company which deals exclusively with ABN holders – which Walker says virtually all farmers are – and this enables final costs to be kept down.

While providing cost-effective sheds is something the company prides itself on, the ultimate guiding principle is to build top quality products that last.

Building nous

Quality materials combined with expert design and building help to explain what sets the company’s sheds apart.

All Now Buildings sheds use high tensile bolts and Class 4 fasteners, with gutters and downpipes included.

The expert team provides site-specific engineering from an independent structural engineer, heavy duty connection and footing design, along with using high-grade industrial strength materials throughout.

“The biggest difference with us is there’s no compromise on quality,” Walker says.

“Customers are going to end up with a fantastic product that they’re proud of and they’ll be raving about how good it is.

“Our screws are a grade above everybody else. We use Grade 4 screws which can go right up close to salt or oceans and it doesn’t rust or degrade.

“It’s the same with the high tensile galvanised bolts – your whole building is held together by these components and if those components aren’t good, your whole building is useless. “Our double bracket footing system are not the cheapest options but they’re the best.

“We are proud of the product and we won’t compromise.”

The sheds can accommodate multiple pieces of large machinery. Image: Now Buildings

To know how to construct a top quality shed, it is necessary to know where the shed is most vulnerable and which sections need the most attention.

Walker says there are three main areas of vulnerability that Now Buildings focuses on, to ensure its sheds withstand the test of time in any conditions.

The first point is the base of the shed, right at the footings.

“We have a heavy-duty hot dip galvanised footing bracket that goes down into the concrete,” Walker says.

“There’s reinforcement in that footing that bends over the top of it, so we have never lost a shed being pulled out of the footings out of many, many thousands. It’s the strongest footing system in the country.”

The next most vulnerable point is the eaves, Walker says, and Now Buildings has a two-fold approach to eliminating any issues there.

“We have that double bracketing system folding through both sides and we also have a series of high structural Tek screws go in so there can’t be any movement in the bolt holes,” he says.

“Then we close up the Purlin spacings on the roof and the walls when it gets close to that corner and then we screw off both the roof sheets and the wall sheds for the same Purlin, creating an enormous bracing through the shed.”

The third point is the shed’s apex – and Walker says a bolted double bracketing system, along with closing up the Purlin spacings, ensures it is impossible for the wind to pull the shed apart.

Another point of difference with Now Buildings sheds is an open gable end which avoids knee braces, something which removes difficulties in storing tall machinery commonly used on Australian farms.

Building rural sheds only means they are suited to remote environments. Image: Now Buildings

Genuine service

Beyond just the rock-solid design of the sheds, Now Buildings has built a reputation for its customer service.

The company can build sheds anywhere in Australia, with one recent project being around a basketball court at an indigenous community near Uluru.

Its network of builders meant this was a straightforward job, while Walker knows the importance of getting things right the first time.

“If you send out wrong components to that, and the builders have travelled a long way to build it, it’s a disaster,” he says.

Much of Now Buildings’ success – and the reason why thousands of customers are enjoying their sheds – can be traced back to the fact the company genuinely cares.

“We started this as a family and we wanted something where we could sleep at night knowing that we were proud of it,” Walker says.

“We also wanted something where we would get an unprecedented amount of return business from it, and we have.

“Repeat business is very high, referrals are through the roof. We’ve got many hundreds of customers writing into us and thanking us for the quality of the material and also the quality of the service.

“From our point of view, we want to put a product out there 100 per cent of the time that we’re proud of.

“We’re proud of what we do. This is how we wanted to run the company and this is the way we’ve grown our business.”

No One Knows Tough Like Aussies

sales@nowbuildings.com.au (Now Buildings) — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 13:00:00 GMT

When it comes to battling Australia’s extreme climate, not just any shed will do. You need a structure that stands the test of time—one that can handle the scorching sun, relentless rain, and powerful winds. That’s exactly what Now Buildings delivers: premium, Australian-made sheds built from BlueScope steel for unmatched durability and longevity.

Built to Last: Sheds That Go Beyond the Ordinary

Australia’s harsh conditions demand strength, resilience, and reliability—especially when it comes to sheds. That’s why Now Buildings doesn’t just meet expectations; we exceed them.

✅ Z350 galvanised coating, delivering exceptional protection against rust and corrosion
✅ Minimum strength of 450 MPA, making our sheds tough enough to withstand decades of heavy use

What Our Customers & Builders Have to Say About Our Farm Sheds

A shed isn’t just a structure—it’s an investment in your farm, business, and future. That’s why farmers and builders across Australia trust Now Buildings to protect their machinery, livestock, and livelihood.

“Strong shed, easily built, great company to deal with, prompt delivery of components, excellent client service before, during & after purchase. My next shed will be from Now Buildings.”
– Brett & Paula B, Stanthorpe, QLD

“As a recommendation we would like to say we found Now sheds great to deal with and really like that it is all Australian made. The shed is well designed and structurally very strong with bracing in every bay and would thoroughly recommend Now Sheds to any potential customer.”
– Helen & Michael M, Biddeston, QLD

“With over 30 years of experience building sheds, I am proud to be a Now Building’s recommended builder. The footing design and component strengths allow me to assemble fully completed wall sections on the ground and lift them into place with our telehandler. It creates a neater, quicker and safer job allowing a few extra years on a broken body. We haven’t found another shed-building product that allows us to do that. Now Building’s ordering and support systems are second to none. Their product is very strong yet simple in design, and we unreservedly recommend Now Buildings for any shed build project that you may have.”
– Brian J, Builder, QLD

Hay Sheds: The Ideal Storage Solution for Australian Farmers

sales@nowbuildings.com.au (Now Buildings) — Wed, 15 May 2024 14:00:00 GMT

A Hay Shed is essential for protecting your hay. Keep your livestock feed safe from the elements and ready for use, no matter the season.

At Now Buildings, we specialise in Hay Sheds designed for the specific needs of Australian agriculture. We provide strong storage solutions for hay, straw, and more. Our Hay Sheds are built to handle the heavy weight and bulk of hay bales, keeping them safe from Australia’s tough weather.

Choosing a Hay Shed helps preserve your feed’s quality, boosts storage efficiency, and can even increase your property’s value.

Why Now Buildings’ Hay Sheds Are the Best

Known for exceptional sheds across Australia, Now Buildings offers sheds that embody flexibility and strength. Made with 100% Australian BlueScope Steel, our Hay Sheds are designed to suit your needs with features like internal walls, roller doors, and insulation. Our dedication to quality is evident in our unique double bracketing system, universal footings, and ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND® finishes.

Choosing Your Hay Shed from Now Buildings

Selecting a Now Buildings Hay Shed means you’re choosing a leader in agricultural storage solutions. Our use of premium Australian BlueScope Steel guarantees a shed that can endure Australia’s most severe conditions, offering you security and peace of mind.

Maximising your Space

Efficient use of space is extremely important when it comes to hay and fodder storage. Understanding this critical need, Now Buildings has innovatively designed our hay and fodder sheds without the traditional knee braces. Usually found in agricultural sheds, knee braces aim to cut manufacturing costs by allowing for thinner columns and rafters, which ultimately benefits the manufacturer significantly more than the customer.

Furthermore, knee braces can obstruct up to 35% of the column height, posing significant challenges during the gable-end loading process. Consequently, these knee braces make it particularly difficult to load large hay bales, as collisions with the braces can compromise the shed’s structural integrity, potentially leading to severe damage or even collapse.

However, by employing larger columns and rafters alongside heavy-duty haunch brackets, Now Buildings effectively eliminates the need for knee braces. This design innovation not only safeguards the shed’s durability but also maximises usable space, enabling you to stack hay up to the roof.

As a result, our hay and fodder sheds facilitate hassle-free loading and unloading, ensuring your storage practices are as efficient and worry-free as possible.

A Hay Shed for Every Farmer

Understanding the varied needs of agriculture, our Hay Sheds are versatile and adaptable. Firstly, if you require additional storage, our sheds offer ample space. Secondly, for those needing specific door setups, we provide a range of options to suit any requirement. Lastly, if climate control is a priority, our sheds are designed to accommodate this need as well. Consequently, our sheds are prepared to meet your diverse needs, ensuring that whatever your requirements may be, we have you covered.

Made to Suit Your Farm

Upgrade your business operations this year with a new shed!

Get ready for a successful year ahead by making strategic and informed choices when it comes to big purchases. Take a look at our top 10 tips for picking out a new shed or machinery, so you’re always getting the best for your farm or rural business!

1. Durability

Rural businesses need products that are going to last. Ensure your big purchases, such as machinery and sheds are robust, durable, and can withstand the challenges of the agricultural environment, including exposure to weather conditions and heavy, daily usage.

2. Quality Materials

Given the importance of shed durability, the use of high-quality materials like BlueScope Steel is a significant factor for farmers. We choose to use BlueScope Steel as it is renowned for its strength, reliability, and longevity. You can read more about our use of BlueScope Steel here.

3. Ease of Build and/or Maintenance

Choose products that are easy to build and maintain. Access to replacement parts, user-friendly build or maintenance guides, and clear documentation can significantly reduce build time and repair costs.

4. Customer Reviews and Recommendations

Read customer reviews and ask for recommendations from other farmers who have used the product. Real life experiences can provide valuable insights into the performance and reliability of a product. You can check out our customer and builder testimonials here.

5. Site-Specific Design

Customisation and site-specific engineering or design are crucial considerations, as the agricultural landscape can vary. Products and structures need to be tailored to the specific needs and conditions of your property or business.

6. Price vs Performance Balance

It is very rare that the cheapest option will be the best for your business. While cost is a factor, make decisions based on a balance between quality and price. Focus on the overall cost-effectiveness of the product by assessing factors such as build price, maintenance costs and the product’s lifespan to determine long-term value.

7. Brand Reputation

Consider the reputation of the brand or manufacturer. A well-established and reputable brand often indicates a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

8. Warranty and After-Sales Service

The availability of reliable customer support and after-sales service is crucial. Look for businesses that provide assistance and support throughout the lifespan of the product.

9. Adaptability and Versatility

Look for products that offer adaptability and versatility. This is especially important in agriculture, where tasks and needs can vary. Versatile equipment can be more cost-effective in the long run.

10. Australian Made Status

Preference products that are locally made or owned. This reflects a commitment to supporting the local economy and ensures alignment with Australian standards. Just look for the green and yellow kangaroo symbol!

Keeping these tips in mind will help you make the right decision when looking at big purchases this year. To ensure you are buying the best for your farm or rural business, make sure your purchases not only address your immediate needs but also contribute to long-term success and sustainability.
