If you’re considering adding a pole shed to your Canterbury property, you’re probably wondering about the investment required. Whether you’re on a lifestyle block in Rolleston, managing a rural property in Darfield, or need extra storage space in Lincoln, understanding pole shed costs is crucial for planning your project.
Two-Bay Pole Shed Pricing: Real Numbers from Canterbury
At Peter Built Sheds Canterbury, we regularly construct pole sheds across the region, and here’s what you can expect to pay for a quality two-bay pole shed:
Price based on these Standard Two-Bay Pole Shed Specifications:
- Size: 9.0m deep × 12.0m long
- Configuration: 2 bays at 6.0m wide each
- Height: 4.0m at the front, sloping to 3.250m at the back
- Enclosure: Both bays fully enclosed with roller doors
- Price: $58,830 (excluding GST)
This pricing includes full installation on a level, accessible site. The pitched roof design provides excellent water runoff while maximising internal height for vehicle access and storage.

Factors That Affect Your Pole Shed Cost
Bay Configuration
The quoted price above is for two fully enclosed bays with roller doors. If you opt for open bays instead, you can expect a reduction in cost as this eliminates the need for roller doors and some structural components. Open bays are popular for machinery storage where weather protection is needed but full enclosure isn’t necessary.
Concrete Flooring
Our standard pricing excludes concrete floors, but this is an extremely popular upgrade among Canterbury customers. A concrete floor provides:
- Clean, dust-free surface
- Easy maintenance and cleaning
- Better protection for vehicles and equipment
- Improved property value
Site Conditions
Pricing assumes a level, accessible site. If your property requires significant site preparation, earthworks, or has challenging access, additional costs may apply.
