agree  cjohnstone: sounds fine, my idea (below) may be mistaken was that a wall or two were replaced by railings but who knows !!! not that the godds were just covered by netting in the open air
34 mins
  -> Thanks. See my note above...you weren't wrong
agree  Odette Grille (X): except for the «cover» I would rather think it is a backroom, a storage room
11 hrs
  -> thanks. That's what I meant by cover too.
agree  Bourth (X): Though in the absence of info. on the exact nature of the "grille" (wire netting could work, but seems a bit slim), I'd say the stocks are "caged off".
15 hrs
  -> yes, caged off sounds good. Thanks
