A fender structure includes a pair of fenders (14) provided at sides of an engine compartment (12). Each of the fenders has a platform portion (17) extending toward the inside of the engine compartment (12), and a longitudinal wall portion (19) extending downward from an inner edge (17a) of the platform portion (17) and joined to a reinforcing member (23) in the engine compartment (12).
