473 Material Shelter

These light commercial urban structures have many uses. These shelters are open (non-walled) sheds used as weather shades for commodities, equipment, etc. Roof systems are either steel or wood, and the floors are concrete or asphalt. These structures are generally heavier than their farm counterparts, with adequate security lighting at the better qualities.
