Agricultural Storage Shed, Worcestershire

Richard and Sarah Pinfield are established livestock farmers based near Bromsgrove, managing a successful mixed farming enterprise. Initially focused on sheep and cattle, they diversified their operations in 2010 into the poultry sector, specifically with laying hens and expanded this in 2015. Their current emphasis is ensuring the efficiency of all activities, which has increased the need for infrastructure to support their growing farm operations.

With the expansion of the farm and the increase in equipment and machinery, Richard identified a critical need for an additional and versatile storage space. They required a robust, multi-purpose building to accommodate their growing operational demands while integrating with their existing farm layout.

A new agricultural storage shed was designed and constructed to meet Richard’s specific needs. The key features of the building are:

• Dimensions: 100ft (length) x 60ft (width) x 16ft (eaves height)
• Design Feature: A 10ft cantilever is included to provide additional covered external space
• Purpose: Secure storage for feed, equipment, machinery, and other essential farming supplies
• Construction: Steel-framed structure for durability and low maintenance
• Integration: Positioned strategically for ease of access from livestock and poultry areas

The completed storage shed has significantly improved the operational efficiency of the Pinfield farm:

• Consolidated storage under one roof, reducing clutter and improving workflow
• Provided weather protection for high-value equipment and feed
• Increased accessibility for farm vehicles and equipment loading/unloading
• Supported the seamless integration of their poultry enterprise into their broader farming operations

Why Powells?

Richard and Sarah expressed satisfaction with the outcome, as this is their third build project with Powell & Co Construction Ltd, citing the shed’s practicality, space optimisation, and smooth construction process as key positives. They praised the team from Powell’s for the seamless and quick build programme that did not affect any of the farm operations. The shed has become an essential asset, supporting the long-term sustainability and growth of their farm.
