The structural stability of a simple-typed cultivation facility with a width of 5.6 m for growing Pleurotus ostreatus was analyzed by modeling the facility as three-dimensional steel frames. The computation was done by using the finite element analysis program, ANSYS and the criterion of determining structural stability was based on the allowable stress design (ASD). The computational results showed that the structure with a straight-typed bed column was more stable than those with other types of bed columns against snow depth but there was little difference against wind velocity. As results, the interval of rafter had a more influence on safety wind velocity than that of bed column, while the interval of bed column was more important to safety snow depth. Finally the bed column against buckling was stable in all cases considered in this paper.
