Just curious...

"my open vehicle sheds" vs. "the back wall"

Does "open" mean 3 sided - i.e. just no door?

Yeah, that's the critter :-) We're on an old farm and have a couple out
back which will take two (large) vehicles each (plus a big enclosed
garage nearer to the house, so the sheds mostly get used for random
storage).

Maybe there's a better term for them (I'm an ex-Brit and we would have
called them 'open' there, even though they have walls on 3 sides, but I
suppose that doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense!)

In the states we have an extremely technical term for that type of
building:

We call it "a shed without a door". ;-)


I always heard them called tractor sheds.

Much like carports, really, since the walls usually don't go down to
grade level.

Around here even the "driving shed" or "drive-in shed" has doors.
Otherwize you'd need to dig out the tractor before you could use it to
blow out the lane.
