The tag building=barn can be used to tag a building as a [W] barn, an agricultural building that can be used for storage and as a covered workplace.

How to map

Map the building as usual and tag it with building=barn or alternatively as building=* with a different value and the tag building:use=barn. The latter variant is recommended in case the building was not originally built as a barn, but is now used as one.

Examples

Tags Description
area building=barn A building that was built as a barn.
area
building=*
building:use=barn
The building is now used as a barn, but was not originally built as one.

Disambiguation

If primarily animals are kept in the building, other tags should be used, e.g. building=stable, building=sty or building=cowshed.
