Customer Requirements
The iconic Banongil South property was purchased by the client, a stunning property located 18km south west of Skipton, VIC. The share of the property our client purchased did not have a shearing shed on the farm, and with the plans to increase the flock size considerably on the property, it was apparent that the investment had to made for on a new sheep yard and shearing shed complex.
The client came to Commander Ag-Quip, looking for a state of the art facility to cater for his shearing and sheep handling needs.
Having seen the previously completed project by Commander Ag-Quip at Lal Lal Estate, it was evident Commander Ag-Quip could be the team that brought his vision to life & deliver his new Sheep handling complex.
The Shed
Commander Ag-Quip worked in collaboration with Action Steel who supplied the shed and yard cover. Working closely throughout the entire design process ensured that the fitout was seamless and that the installation was completed and finished off to an impeccable level.
Shed Details: 88m x 24m x 5.5m
