It's unclear what caused the shed, which was along Canobolas Road, to catch alight on Thursday, but Rural Fire Service Canobolas Zone operations manager Brett Bowden said cardboard and boxes caught alight to begin the blaze.
Firefighters extinguished most of the blaze "just after sundown" on Thursday, and were back on the scene on Friday to finish dispensing with smouldering boxes on Friday.
No-one was in the shed at the time of the blaze, and no-one was injured.
The fire began in the mezzanine level of the shed, with seven RFS tankers taking three to four hours to extinguish the blaze on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, the RFS responded to a call with Fire and Rescue NSW to a shed on The Escort Way in Borenore.
A tractor had been completely destroyed by fire, with the shed also damaged. The blaze is believed to have started about 8am.
It's unclear what caused that fire, but firefighters weren't treating the blaze as suspicious.
