When it comes to versatile, durable, and cost-effective structures, pole sheds remain one of the most popular choices for property owners across Christchurch, Selwyn, Waimakariri, and the wider Canterbury region. Whether you need extra storage, a farm shed, a workshop, or shelter for livestock and machinery, a well-built pole shed offers unbeatable value for money.

At Southern Buildworks, we’re Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) specialising in custom pole shed design and construction. Every shed we build is tailored to suit your needs, location, and budget.

Why Choose a Pole Shed?

1. Affordability Without Compromise

One of the biggest advantages of a pole shed is its cost-effectiveness. The construction process requires fewer materials and less labour compared to traditional buildings, making it a budget-friendly choice without sacrificing strength or durability.

2. Faster Construction Times

Because pole sheds rely on deep-set poles for structural support instead of full concrete foundations, they can be built much faster than conventional buildings. This means you get a fully functional, weather-resistant structure in weeks – not months.

3. Built for Canterbury Conditions

From strong Nor’west winds to heavy rain and even snow in inland areas, Canterbury’s weather can be challenging. Our pole sheds are engineered to withstand high wind zones and harsh climates, keeping your assets protected year-round.

4. Unlimited Uses & Customisation

Pole sheds are incredibly versatile. We design and build for:

• Farm and lifestyle block storage

• Hay and feed shelters

• Workshops and implement sheds

• Horse stables and equestrian shelters

• Carports, boat, and caravan storage

Whatever you need, we can design a custom pole shed in Canterbury that fits perfectly.

5. Low Maintenance, Long Life

Using Zincalume or Coloursteel cladding, quality fixings, and proven construction techniques, our sheds require minimal maintenance – saving you time and money for decades.
