A Motorsport Lover’s Dream: A Custom 22.5m x 12m Workshop Shed in Canterbury

At Heartland Sheds, we pride ourselves on delivering high‑quality, purpose‑built structures that suit the unique needs of our clients. Our latest build—a spacious 22.5m wide by 12m deep Workshop Shed is a perfect example of how smart design and innovative construction can transform an idea into a functional and durable reality. Constructed in the heart of Canterbury, this project showcases what’s possible when traditional timber craftsmanship meets the strength and versatility of steel.

Hybrid Construction for efficient design and an economic build 

To achieve the client’s goals, our team designed and built the shed using our proven hybrid building system, combining:

* Steel Rafters – essential for achieving the impressive **12‑metre clear span**, allowing for a completely open interior without any centre poles or obstructions.

*  Timber Poles – offering natural strength, resilience, and cost‑effectiveness.

*  Timber Purlins and Girts – creating a robust structural frame that ties the building together and enhances durability.

This combination results in an exceptionally strong, long‑lasting structure while also maintaining the classic aesthetic appeal of timber‑based construction. It’s a popular choice among clients looking for Workshop Sheds and Storage Sheds that deliver both performance and visual appeal.

A Shed Designed for a True Car Enthusiast

The client for this project is a dedicated car enthusiast and motorsport aficionado who needed a space capable of housing multiple vehicles—while also allowing several to move in and out simultaneously. That vision demanded more than just a standard shed. It required:

*  A wide, uninterrupted floor area

*  Generous access points

*  High structural integrity

*  Ample room to maneuver vehicles safely and efficiently

Our 22.5m x 12m clear-span design delivered exactly that. With no centre poles to work around, the shed offers unobstructed movement for cars, tools, and equipment. Whether storing classic cars, working on performance builds, or preparing race vehicles for the weekend, this shed provides all the space needed to operate freely.
