AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES
“FARM WORKSHOPS AND MACHINERY SHED”

Presented by:
GROUP 3
SCOPE
It specifies the general requirements of farm shop and machinery
shed.

This standard includes location, space, structural and functional


requirements of farm shop and machinery shed.
DEFINITIONS
A. Workshop
- Building for fabrication, repair, and maintenance of tools,
implements, equipments and parts of structures
- Provides place where tools, supplies and spare parts are stored
DEFINITIONS (Cont.)
B. Machinery Shed
- An area to protect machinery from weather, theft and vandalism
- Allow easy maintenance and adjustment of machines

NOTE: Machinery shed and farm workshop may be placed close


together or house in one building.
DEFINITIONS

C. Hazardous Materials
- Substance on farms that are highly flammable or poisonous

EXAMPLE: Engine fuels and oils such as gasoline, diesel,


kerosene, and lubricating oils; gases such as butane, propane and
acetylene; paints containing flammable solvents, cellulose thinner
or alcohol; herbicides, insecticides, rat poison; acids and alkalies
such as detergents, cleaning liquids, lye and quicklime (CaO); and
wood preservatives and corrosion inhibiting paints.
LOCATION
1. The building shall be constructed in a well-drained area.
2. The building shall be situated at least 45 m from other
buildings to reduce fire hazard, to allow for future
expansion, and maneuvering and parking of machinery.
3. The site shall be accessible to service drives, electrical
and water lines.
SPACE REQUIREMENT
1. The minimum area for farm workshop shall be
calculated as the sum of the area occupied by
the largest machinery plus service space, and
workbench, and equipment area as shown in
the figure.
SPACE REQUIREMENT
2. The minimum storage area for machinery
shed shall be calculated by multiplying the
width plus 0.6 m by length plus 0.6 m for each
machine (Refer to Annex B). The area
calculated for each machine shall be added to
get the total area.
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
A. FLOOR
1. The floor shall be at least leveled and gravel packed for
ease of movement of machines and attachment and detachment
of tractor-mounted equipment.
2. For the approach aprons, the slope shall be 3% - 5%
away from the building.

B. WALLS
1. The building should be enclosed with solid walls or wire
netting.

STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
C. ROOF
1. When the roof span is 3 m or less, a beam shall be used.
For larger spans or very heavy loads, a truss should be required.
2. The minimum clear height from floor to truss shall be at
least 3 m. For machines higher than 3 m, the height shall be the
sum of the machine height plus 0.3 m.
3. Roofing materials shall be made of G.I. sheets.
4. Skylights (i.e. plastic roofing sheet) at strategic
locations for natural lighting are recommended.
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
D. DOOR/GATE
1. Minimum dimension of a doorway shall be 3 m high
and 3.7 m wide. For bigger equipment, a clearance of 0.6 m on
both sides shall be added.
2. The door height shall be provided with a clearance of at
least 0.3 m above the tallest machinery.
3. Overhead or rolling doors are recommended to be used
than the hinged doors.
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
D. DOOR/GATE (Cont.)
4. There shall be provision for a smaller service door so
that the large door does not have to be opened for routine
activities.

NOTE: Other matters concerning structural design of the


building not provided in PAES 420 shall conform with the
provision of the National Structural Code of Building.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT
A. WORKSHOP
1. Gravel packed apron to work on equipment outside the
shop shall be provided. This provides a firm surface to park
machinery on and reduces the amount of dirt carried into the
shop by implement tires.
2. Facilities for lifting and supporting heavy load such as
A-beam and portable hoist shall be provided.
3. Workbenches shall be at least 1 m high. The bench width
shall be 0.8 m and least 3 m long. Benches shall be equipped
with a large vice and anchored securely.

4. For a welding area, a welding hood with a fan that will
move air about 28 m^3/min – 57 m^3/min shall be provided.
5. If vehicles are to be operated in the shop for a period
of time, an exhaust hose through the wall or small suction fan
pulling exhaust through a tube from the exhaust pipe shall be
provided. The fan shall be capable of moving air about 7
m^3/min per vehicle through the pipe.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT
B. FUEL AND CHEMICAL STORAGE
1. A concrete storage room shall be provided for the
hazardous materials inside the workshop.
2. The floor shall be concrete to form a reservoir to
contain any accidental spills. Drain in the floor shall not be
provided to prevent any spillage or wash down water
containing the materials from entering any watercourse.
3. Ventilation openings such as louvers or decorative
blocks shall be constructed at both low and high levels.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT
B. FUEL AND CHEMICAL STORAGE (Cont.)
4. The storage room, including the ventilation
openings, shall be vermin proof to prevent rodents from
breaking open packages.
5. Appropriate security device shall be provided to
keep unauthorized persons, in particular children, from
accidentally coming into contact with the hazardous
materials.

1.2 m along workbenches and every 3 m along walls. If power tools are
located away from walls, outlets shall be provided on the floor or
suspend from the ceiling.
2. At least one welder outlet near the large door shall be installed
so welding can be done outside.
