Is the acid and alkali storage area with a canopy considered a factory building or a warehouse? What is the exact definition of a warehouse, and what is the fundamental difference between it and a tank storage area? If a storage tank is placed inside a house, does it then count as a warehouse? Thank you!

A warehouse is a building used for storing items; it is enclosed and has doors and locks. The storage tanks are outdoors; flammable liquid storage tanks are not allowed to be placed in warehouses as this is not conducive to fire safety. If some acid and alkali tanks are stored in a warehouse, it can be considered a warehouse
It’s still the storage tank area; you’ve just built a rain shelter
