Casting shadows through objects

… IF there were to be a space between the object (shed) and the wall, there would then not be any shadows on the ground as expected as you would have disabled shadows on ground or the floor plane to avoid the object casting shadows through the other side of the wall.

In reality there may not be a ground plane to receive shadow (disabled) infront of the wall, but there would be a face (with or without texture) that receives shadow. Like in OP’s image above.
