How far from a neighbor's fence can you build a barn

A farm building at a summer cottage, if there are any other buildings, cannot be placed in an arbitrary place. The planning of the site is carried out in accordance with the requirements of fire safety, sanitary standards and other things.

Where is the distance from the barn and other outbuildings to the fence indicated

Before determining how far to step back from the fence when building your barn. It is necessary to clarify to which category the land allotment belongs.

• IZHS - allotment intended for individual construction. The owner of a building on such a site can receive a postal address, that is, a residential building here is an object of legislative regulation. When building individual housing construction, a permit for any capital construction is required. If the shed is a metal box without a bottom, which is placed on a concrete platform, it does not belong to capital structures. No permission is needed for such a building.
• Private household plots - an allotment for a subsidiary farm: a garden, a vegetable garden, breeding poultry or animals. It is not prohibited to build houses for living here, but if the private household is located outside the boundaries of the settlement - the so-called field plot - any development is prohibited. A light shelter without a foundation, again, is not considered a building object.
• DNP - dacha partnership. Here the building should be present by default, although not necessarily capital. The barn does an excellent job of this role.
• SNT is a garden partnership. The construction of residential and utility buildings is permitted.

The choice is usually made taking into account whether the building will be sold or not. If this is an individual housing construction, a permit for the construction of any object is required, but it has a passport and can be the object of the transaction. The building on the site of the DNP, and even more so the private household does not have a passport. Here only land can be the object of the transaction.

Fire safety standards

The distance from the summer cottage to the neighbor's fence is determined by the material for making the box and similar buildings in the adjacent area. Restrictions are associated with the flammability of the tree. The norms are dictated by the need to create the maximum distance between such objects.

The rules are as follows:

• the distance between the wooden shed and the same residential building is 15 m;
• if the building includes only wooden partitions, the indent is reduced to 10 m;
• the distance from the stone building is 8 m;
• the barn is separated from the fence by at least 1 meter.

The latter value is subject to change.

If there is a wooden house or garage on the other side of the fence, you will have to build so that the distance from the barn to the neighbor's fence remains within the fire safety requirements.

Sanitary standards

Sanitation rules are no less demanding. Depending on what exactly the barn is, the distance must be kept different.

• If this is a utility block for gardening tools, the distance from the shed to the fence is kept within 1 m. The distance is measured not from the foundation of the building, but from the projection of the roof to the ground. If the building has a long overhang or a large visor, the distance is made larger.
• If the barn is intended for breeding poultry or livestock, the distance from the fence is 4 m. From a residential building on its site, such an object will be removed by 12 m or at least 8 m. From a sanitary point of view, it acts as an analogue of a septic tank.

The position is taken into account not only of buildings on your site, but also on the allotment of a neighbor.

SNiP norm for a plot and a summer residence

Most accurately, the distance of the outbuilding from the neighbor's fence and other objects is regulated by SNiP. The planning and development of rural settlements is described by SNiP 2.07.01-89. In more detail, the document regulates the position of residential buildings. However, there are also requirements for other buildings.

The most important requirement is the distance from the red line. The border does not always pass along the boundaries of the site and in the general plan. It may turn out that the line crosses the allotment or is very close. She dictates the distance between the barn and the fence without taking into account the latter.

The red line is the border of a public area, such as a road or motorway. But by default, land 3 m on either side of the line is also included in this territory. If such is within the boundaries of the site, the builder of the road can occupy it without the permission of the owners of the site. Any building on this site will be demolished.

From the red line at the boundary, you need to retreat at least 5 m.From the line that turned out to be in the center of the road, retreat by 3 m.

The recommended height of the shed is 2.2 m. Such a structure does not in any way affect the insolation of the neighboring area, so it is installed at a distance of 1 m from the fence. If the building is higher - two-story, the neighbor has the right to make a claim.

The distance from green spaces is determined by their height. From bushes - 1 m, from medium-sized trees - 2 m, from high trees - 4 m.

If the neighboring plot is not built up, objects are placed in random order.

The distance between the barn and the residential building

The distance between the residential building and the barn is determined by its purpose. At the same time, it is taken into account that the value is measured not from the basement or wall, but from the overhang of the roof, visor, bay window, or rather the projection of these elements onto the ground. The condition is met if the overhang or elements of the second floor do not protrude beyond the wall by more than 50 cm.

An extension of sheds to the house is allowed, and for any purpose. In this case, the distance between the entrances to the block and to the residential building is regulated. There should be a distance of 2-3 m between the doors to the shed for inventory and the house, at least 7 m between the entrance to the poultry house and the entrance to the building.

It is impossible to build a barn close to the neighbor's fence - this is a violation. However, if the latter does not interfere with the insolation of the site and is not a source of constant noise, such a solution is acceptable. To do this, they conclude an agreement with a neighbor, where the position of the shed, its purpose and dimensions are precisely indicated.

Difficulties can arise if neighbors are building a change house not only close to the fence, but also too close to the neighboring house. If the latter is built of brick or stone, you can do this, but only with the voluntary consent of the owners of both sites. If both buildings are wooden, it is better to avoid this: there is a high risk of fire spread.
