List of structures

Construction is the process of building or constructing something, or used to describe the result of this process. For example, "That is a fine construction".

A cottage is a small house.

A cubby house or wendy house is a small building for children to play in. They are usually built in people's backyards out of wood.

A datestone is a stone with a date carved into it. You might see datestones on old buildings, graves, or monuments. They help tell the year or date for a house, a special event, or a person's life.

A dike is an embankment or a dam made of stone or earth to stop water flow from a watercourse such as a river.

A door is a way of closing off the entrance to something else, like the entrance to a house or room. Doors can be made of wood, steel or glass. You can lock some doors so that no-one can go through them.

A fence is a structure that people make. Fences are usually there to keep something on one side of the fence from getting to the other side, or just to mark a boundary. The horse in the picture is being kept in her paddock by the fence. Fences can be any height. In cities they are usually quite high, and on farms they are usually just high enough so whatever animal is being kept cannot jump over it.

A floor is the part of a building that you walk on. Floors can be made from wood or concrete and might have rugs or carpet on top of them.

A fort is a military structure used for defense against an enemy. Forts are usually large stone buildings surrounded by water or walls.

A foyer is the interior entrance of a building.
