Frequently Asked Questions
Has the government eased restrictions for single storey pole sheds and hay barns?
Yes, by the end of 2025 changes to the Building Act will enable Kiwis to build a single storey detached building between 10 and 30 square metres in floor area one metre from any boundary or other building without consent. Any single storey detached buildings under 10 square metres can be placed up to the boundary or another building without building consent.
What are the advantages of pole shed construction compared to other building methods?
Pole sheds offer several key advantages: lower initial cost due to simplified foundations, faster construction timeframes, flexibility in design, and excellent strength-to-weight ratios. The pole foundation system eliminates the need for expensive concrete slabs, making them particularly economical for larger structures and rural applications where cost-effectiveness is essential.
Can pole sheds be customised for specific uses?
Absolutely. Our pole sheds can be tailored with various features including different bay widths, door types (sliding, roller, hinged), windows, partial or full enclosure, internal divisions, and even insulation for climate-controlled spaces. Many customers incorporate specific elements like extra height clearance for boats or machinery, concrete floors in selected bays, or specialised workspaces.
How durable are Cyclone pole sheds in New Zealand conditions?
Our pole sheds are engineered specifically for New Zealand’s diverse climate challenges. We use pressure-treated timber poles that resist rot and insect damage, quality steel framing and cladding with appropriate coatings for your local environment, and engineering that accounts for wind, snow, and seismic considerations. With proper maintenance, these structures provide decades of reliable service.
What site preparation is required for a pole shed?
Site requirements are typically less demanding than for conventional buildings. The area should be reasonably level, with good drainage and appropriate access for construction equipment. Unlike slab foundations, minor ground contours can often be accommodated within the pole foundation design, making these buildings suitable for a wider range of sites.
