The present study is an attempt to familiarize ferrocement technology for the construction of low-cost structures for farm uses. The selected structures that have been identified for farm uses are storage structure, cattle trough, irrigation and drainage canal lining, and manhole cover. Utilizing locally available materials the design and fabrication of the structures have been made using .simple techniques. The cost of construction of ferrocement structures has also been estimated on the basis of present cost of materials and labour. It is hoped that the observations made in this study will bring new idea in achieving wide acceptance of this technology for the construction of low-cost structures for farm uses.
