479 Farm Utility Storage Shed

These structures are designed with an open front and only three exterior walls of either wood frame or steel construction. The interior is usually unfinished, with no doors and a dirt floor. No electrical or water service is included in the costs. They can be used for commodity or equipment storage only (no repair shop) or as a livestock loafing shed.

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
