When it comes to sheds, stables, barns, or any good farm building, there’s one part you never want to cheap out on — the foundations.
Sure, they’re not the flashy part. You can’t hang a tool on them, you can’t back a ute into them (well, you shouldn’t anyway), and they won’t win “Best Dressed” at Fieldays.
But good foundations are the silent heroes that hold everything together — literally.
Without solid foundations:
Your shed can settle unevenly.
Doors and roller doors might jam or sag (good luck getting your tractor out).
You risk serious structural damage over time (and a hefty repair bill no one budgets for).
Worst case? You’ve got a lean-to that's really leaning.
And yes, quality foundations aren't cheap.
Proper concrete, extra steel, site prep, drainage — it all adds up faster than a Friday night meat raffle. But here’s the truth:
👉 Skimping on foundations is like buying a pedigree hunting dog, then giving it a cardboard kennel. It just doesn’t make sense.
The bottom line:
A great shed starts from the ground up.
It’s an investment you’ll never regret — but you might regret trying to save a few bucks with the “she’ll be right” method.
At AgBuild, we only build on foundations we'd trust under our own gear.
Because while we love a good DIY project as much as the next bloke, we also like our sheds standing straight and strong after a good Waikato thunderstorm.
Thinking about a new shed, stable, or barn?
We’ll make sure it’s built on foundations strong enough to handle whatever your farm (or Mother Nature) throws at it.
