Barn is an agricultural building used for storage and as a covered workplace.

It may sometimes be used

to house livestock or to store farming vehicles and equipment. Barns are most commonly found on a farm
or former farm. A barn meant for keeping cattle may be known as a byre.[1]

Greenhouse (also called a glasshouse) is a building in which plants are grown. These
structures range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A miniature greenhouse is
known as a cold frame.

Animal pound was a place where stray livestock such as pigs would impounded in a dedicated
enclosure until claimed by their owners, or sold to cover the costs of impounding.[1]
Tower mill
The advantage of the tower mill over the earlier post mill is that it is not necessary to turn the
whole mill ("body", "buck") with all its machinery into the wind; this allows more space for the
machinery as well as for storage. However, select tower mills found around Holland were
constructed on a wooden frame so as to rotate the entire foundation of the mill along with the
cap.

Farmhouse is a general term for the main house of a farm. It is a type of building or house which
serves a residential purpose in a rural or agricultural setting. Most often, the surrounding environment will
be a farm. Many farm houses are shaped like a T. The perpendicular section is referred to as the ell.

Chicken coop (or hen house) is a building where female chickens are kept. Inside hen houses are
often nest boxes for egg-laying and perches on which the birds can sleep, although coops for meat birds
seldom have either of these features.
Gulf house (German: Gulfhaus), also called a Gulf farmhouse (Gulfhof) or East Frisian house
(Ostfriesenhaus), is a type of farmhouse that emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries in North Germany.[1]
It is timber-framed and built using post-and-beam construction. Initially Gulf houses appeared in the
marshes, but later spread to the Frisian geest.

Shed is typically a simple, single-storey structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is

used for storage, hobbies, or as a workshop.

Slaughterhouse or abattoir or meatworks is a facility where animals are killed for consumption as
food products. Slaughterhouses which process meat not intended for human consumption are sometimes
referred to as Knacker's yards or Knackeries.
Smokehouse is a building where meat or fish is cured with smoke. The finished product might be
stored in the building, sometimes for a year or more.[1] Even when people in some rural American areas
during the twentieth century, notably where electricity still was not available, did not use smoke, they
nevertheless called such a building--typically a small square unpainted wooden structure in the back yard-
-the "smoke house." Hogs were slaughtered after the onset of cold weather, and hams and other pork
products were salted and hung up or placed on a shelf to last into the following summer.

Watermill is a structure that uses a water wheel or turbine to drive a mechanical process such as flour,
lumber or textile production, or metal shaping (rolling, grinding or wire drawing). There are two basic
types of watermill, one powered by a vertical waterwheel via a gearing mechanism, and the other
equipped with a horizontal waterwheel without such a mechanism.

Fish hatcheries are used to cultivate and breed a large number of fish in an enclosed environment.
Fish farms use hatcheries to cultivate fish to sell for food, or ornamental purposes, eliminating the need to
find the fish in the wild and even providing some species outside of their natural season. They raise the
fish until they are ready to be eaten or sold to aquarium stores. Other hatcheries release the juvenile fish
into a river, lake or the ocean to support commercial, tribal, or recreational fishing or to supplement the
natural numbers of threatened or endangered species, a practice known as fish stocking.
Poultry hatcheries produce a majority of the birds consumed in the developed world including
chickens, turkeys, ducks and some other minor bird species. It is a multibillion dollar industry, with
highly regimented production systems used to maximize bird size versus feed consumed. Birds are
produced and maintained under high density, which makes production and harvesting more economical,
but can also generate problems such as the spread of pathogens, which can move very quickly through the
population when animal densities are high.

Stable is a building in which livestock, especially horses, are kept. It most commonly means a building
that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals. There are many different types of stables in use
today such as the American barn which is a large barn with a door each end and individual stalls inside or
free standing stables with the classic top and bottom opening doors. The term "stable" is also used to
describe a group of animals kept by one owner, regardless of housing or location.

Supplies Storage Based on your storage requirements, metal farm buildings can be customized
to provide the space needed to store supplies that keep your farm running. Whether it's storage
space for animal feed or a place for short- or long-term crop storage, agricultural metal buildings
offer farmers a low-cost, versatile means of storage.

Animal Storage Whether the cows on your dairy farm need a place to call home or you're
looking into constructing metal horse barns, the farm storage buildings available from Heritage
offer a cost-efficient, durable alternative to traditional barns.

Equipment Storage While different farms use varying sizes of equipment, chances are every
farm has at least some piece of large machinery. From tractors to combine harvesters, farmers
need a place to store and maintain their equipment when it isn't in use. Options such as metal
barns and our clear span metal storage buildings give farmers the extra open space they need to
effectively use and maneuver equipment within the structure itself.
