Custom sheds to make shearing easy

Locally owned by Peter Sweeney and Col Jones, Eco Enterac create shearing sheds, machinery sheds, hay sheds as well as industrial/commercial sheds.

All Eco Enterac sheds are manufactured using full structural steel and frames with universal beams.

They are built with open webb rafters, ventilated eaves, 0.47cm thick wall sheeting, complete with flashings, gutter, and downpipes to ground level.

Eco Enterac send standard plans and information on their shearing sheds to their clients, as well as a list of their shearing sheds in the clients area.

"This allows the client to visit a site and look at the layout and design of an Eco Enterac shearing shed, and also the quality of workmanship that goes into all Eco Enterac Sheds," Mr Sweeney said.

"I always visit the site to discuss the design and layout and offer advice on the best position for the new shearing shed with the client.

"We have designs for conventional flat or raised boards, curved and saw tooth.

"We have a front fill penning system, designed to make the sheep move into the catching pen more easily.

"We have slope catching pens rising 150mm at the rear of the pen which means the shearer no longer has to turn sheep when catching them because the slope is going with the drag.

"We also manufacture sheep yards and they can be designed to work alongside the shed."
