Northam Western Australia
Northam is a town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, the largest in the Avon sub region, and the largest inland town in the state not founded on mining.
The town of Northam is firmly situated in Ballardong Noongar country, and was known for Burlong Pool, just outside of Northam, on the Avon River.
The area of Northam was first explored by Europeans in the 1830s, and was founded in 1833 and was named after a village of the same name in England.
The initial importance of Northam declined with the growth of York and Beverley, but the shire is one of the largest in the Wheatbelt, and encompasses the towns of Bakers Hill, Clackline and Wundowie.
Northam has a hot Mediterranean climate, with cool wet winters and hot dry summers, with most years reaching above 40 degrees in the summer and below freezing in the winter. The annual rainfall of Northam is a mere 425mm, however it remains green thanks to its proximity to the Avon River and low lying position.
The areas in and around Northam are home to a vibrant farming community, and the most common forms of agriculture are livestock, grains and pulses, including wheat, barley, oats, sheep, wool, cattle, canola and hay.
Farm sheds serve a variety of purposes in Western Australia, with such a diverse and strong agricultural industry, and this means a wide range of available farm sheds need to be available for the state’s farmers to choose from and customise.
Wheatbelt Steel offer a range of farm sheds for all industries, including Workshops, Machinery Sheds, Hay Sheds, Fertiliser Sheds, Grain Sheds, Aircraft Hangars, Shearing Sheds Equestrian Sheds and more, to ensure that your needs are not just met, but exceeded.
These sheds can be customised with roller doors or sliding doors, windows, skylights or ventilation, insulation or open bays, mezzanine floors, offices and more.
Buying a shed can be a confusing time, as there is a lot of information to process – particularly if it is your first shed, or your first time purchasing a shed. The experts at Wheatbelt Steel have been providing quality farm sheds to Western Australians for more than 40 years, and are available to help answer any questions and guide you to the best decision for you and your farm when it comes to your new shed.

Agricultural Sheds with Local Expertise
Buildings like farm sheds are large investments, and Wheatbelt Steel understands it’s important to customers to deal with a truly local company, who understand the Western Australian agricultural industry, and how the businesses that operate within it run.
Wheatbelt Steel have been suppliers of farm buildings including sheds, equestrian arenas and airport hangars, that don’t just meet but exceed Australian standards, while delivering fully custom and personalised designs to ensure that each customer is content with peace of mind when it comes to their shed.
The Strength of Australian Steel for the Australian Environment
The Australian environment can be cruel and unforgiving at times, and those who work in it every day, all year round, know just how harsh the weather conditions can be to structures and machinery alike, and as such how important it is to have storage that will reliably protect your vehicles, tools and other assets.
Wheatbelt Steel makes sure to use materials made from quality Australian steel, with the roof and wall sheets made from genuine BlueScope products, that have been tried and tested in the Australian outback for decades, and improved to meet and create new standards for building quality and durability.
Benefits of an In-House Engineering Team
Wheatbelt Steel has an in-house engineering team, which not only saves you money in the long run, it also enables us to provide quotes and plans much quicker, without waiting for turnaround from an external engineering company.
So if you need to change your open gable roof, add features like windows, skylights or insulation, or include additional clearance for roof heights for a mezzanine floor, you can rest assured, knowing you’re in safe hands, and the plans for your shed can be updated and modified with ease.
