Then, to protect that section of track, a V-shaped de-flector will be placed on the uphill side which will deflect alldescending material so that it passes ovei; the sheds. Solid crib § 366. MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS. 393 work is largely used for these structures. Fortunately suitabletimber for such construction is usually plentiful and cheapwhere these structures are necessary. Sufficient ventilationis obtained by longitudinal openings along one side immediatelyunder the roof. Summer tracks are usually built outsidethe sheds
