The logistics crossroads
Palmerston North is where the lower North Island’s freight changes hands, and our Ashhurst yard puts containers right beside it. Distribution overflow, seasonal stock and site storage move through here constantly.
The flat Manawatū makes for easy placements, and regular runs cover Horowhenua down to Levin and Rangitīkei up to Taihape.

FAQ
Palmerston North questions, answered

Yes, and we would prefer you did. Our Ashhurst yard is open Monday to Friday with viewings by appointment - call ahead and we will have the grades you are considering ready to walk through.
For temporary storage during a build, generally not. For a permanent structure it can count toward site coverage, and anything habitable needs building consent. Rules vary by council, so for anything permanent check with your local one first.
