| Value | Photo | Comment | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| shelter_type=public_transport | _Bus_station,_%C5%BBywiecka_street,_Bia%C5%82a.jpg)
|
Small shelters found at stops/platforms along public transport routes. For larger structures, refer to building=transportation or building=train_station. | |
| shelter_type=picnic_shelter |
|
A shelter at a picnic site to provide shade and protect from rain, usually open on all sides. | |
| shelter_type=gazebo | 
|
A  gazebo.
|
|
| shelter_type=weather_shelter | 
|
Used for small shelters in the mountains or alongside roads in the countryside, primarily intended for short breaks only. In contrast to alpine huts or shelter_type=lean_to, these are not meant as a place to sleep, eat, or live, except in emergency situations. | |
| shelter_type=lean_to | 
|
A lean-to is a small shelter, typically with three walls and a slanted roof, located in the countryside and primarily intended for camping.
|
|
| shelter_type=pavilion | 
|
A pavilion.
|
|
| shelter_type=basic_hut | 
|
A small building located in the countryside intended to provide basic shelter and sleeping accommodation. Note: if it has a fireplace it should instead be tagged as a tourism=wilderness_hut. | |
| shelter_type=sun_shelter | 
|
A shelter designed to offer shade from the sun. Unlike a shelter_type=weather_shelter, a sun shelter offers very little protection against weather such as rain, as the sides may be open and the roof is designed only for providing shade. | |
| shelter_type=field_shelter | 
|
A field shelter is a building located in the countryside intended to provide shelter for animals (e.g., horses). In case of bad weather it could be used also by humans, if it is accessible. Consider adding the access=* tag to specify its legal accessibility, especially access=private if people are not allowed to use it. | |
| shelter_type=rock_shelter | 
|
A rock shelter is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or cliff. | |
| shelter_type=pergola | 
|
A pergola offering partial shade and, if supporting plants, some light rain protection.
|
|
| shelter_type=wetterpilz | 
|
A solitary and free-standing shelter. | |
