478 Farm Implement Shed

Equipment shed buildings are for storage and maintenance of farm equipment. These structures are typically designed with an open front and only three exterior walls of either wood frame or steel construction. Floors are light concrete, asphalt, gravel or dirt. Electrical and water service is commensurate with the quality.

For this occupancy, which may have one or more open sides, you should always enter the actual walled perimeter. If the shape option is used, the program calculates perimeter based on a three-sided structure.

Availability of Elevators by Area for this occupancy: No
