While using the foam packing materials, make sure that you use a size larger than what is needed for the object to be packed.

The walls can be constructed of concrete block, wood frame with plywood sheathing or metal stud framing with aluminium siding. Because hay sheds are highly durable, most people prefer metal hay sheds as they require little maintenance. Hay shed designs using concrete blocks or timber studs offer additional insulation from cold winds in winter and hot sun in summer. \r\rTo start building a hay shed, first determine the total size of the shed you need. Measure the length and width of the area in which you want to locate the shed. Allow a minimum of 10 feet between structures or trees so that tractors can easily pull large equipment into position. For longer sheds requiring a centre aisle, allow at least 20 feet between structures or trees. \r\rThe dimensions of the shed will depend on the height of your hay bales and the size of your tractor. Allow for enough clearance to open doors on the front and back permanently and wide enough to pull containers in through each door. There should be ample area to feed the animals.

An overhang for the hay sheds at the front of the building prevents water from running off the roof and falling directly onto the bales. This overhang is normally about 8 feet high but will vary depending on your climate and what suits you best. The overhang should extend from the top of the wall down to the ground. This overhang for the hay sheds should be angled slightly to allow a small amount of water to run off the front of the roof and also extend further forward than the rear extension of the roof so that water cannot collect on top. \r\rThe maximum height for storing straw bale in hay sheds is 8 feet, but you can store them at any height up to this. For round or square bales, it is important to store them off the ground. Also, consider what kind of vehicle will be used to transport hay from the field into your barn. If it has tall tires or lifts high when loaded with hay, you may need to consider building a taller storage area.\r\rYou might need council approval to build a hay shed, or even just a large shed.

The hay bales can be stacked in hay sheds in rows four high on an average width aisle to take up 16 cubic metres of space, which means 80 bales per stack or 160-200 bales in a two-aisle structure with 6 stacks on each side.\r\rSheds or barns should also have areas to store machinery.
