Whether you're a seasoned farmer or you're embarking on a new chapter of life with a flock of sheep, there's one structure that every sheep farm needs - a shearing shed! More than simple buildings, shearing sheds are the beating heart of your operation, and they can provide a multitude of benefits.
At Fair Dinkum Builds, we know how important it is to create a shearing shed that fits your needs and stands the test of time. That's why we design and construct tailor made shearing sheds, which are built using the best quality materials and are backed by a 30-year system warranty.
Customisable Shearing Shed
It doesn't matter if you've only got a handful of sheep or you're shearing a herd of hundreds; every element of your shearing shed is customised to perfectly match your requirements. From the size of the shed to those finishing touches, you have complete control over its performance and aesthetic.
To see what's possible, take a look at our Shed Designer App and start bringing your dream shearing shed to life!

Building a shearing shed comes with some obvious benefits, but there are also some hidden advantages, including:
-
Comfortable Working Environment: Shearing sheds are designed to provide you with a comfortable and safe working environment, and features such as adequate lighting, ventilation, and ergonomic design can boost both comfort and productivity.
-
Optimised Workflow: With designated areas for different tasks, such as sheep handling, shearing, wool sorting, and baling, shearing sheds help to create a smooth workflow and minimise downtime between tasks. This improves overall efficiency and reduces stress on both workers and the sheep.
-
Quality Wool Production: By providing a clean and controlled environment for shearing, shearing sheds help maintain the quality of the wool, meaning you're able to produce high-quality fleece that meets market standards and commands premium prices.
-
Improved Hygiene: A shearing shed also offers you the opportunity to implement effective hygiene and disease prevention measures, reducing the risk of sheep illnesses and improving overall animal welfare, which will also contribute to higher-quality wool.
-
Storage: Shearing sheds can also double as a storage space for shearing equipment, tools, and supplies, as well as acting as facilities for maintenance and repair.
-
Weather Protection: You can use a shearing shed as protection for your livestock, too, keeping them safe from rain, wind, and extreme temperatures whenever you need to.
