Barn Plans and Outbuildings

Byron David Halsted

4.9/5 (19952 ratings)

Description:The proper and economical erection of Barns and Outbuildings requires far more forethought and planning than are ordinarily given to their construction. A barn once built is not readily moved, or altered in size or shape, and the same may be said of a corn house, a poultry house, or even a pigpen.Only the most general rules can be laid down to guide one in the selection of a site for Barns and Outbuildings. Much depends upon the wants to be consulted and met. Individual taste may, and often does, have very much to do in determining decisions. If possible, the barn should be located upon a rise of ground, where a cellar can be built, opening upon the lower ground to the rear. The outbuildings chould not be so close to the house as to appear a part of it, nor so far distant as to be inconvenient. The old practice of scattering the buildings over the farm, a sheep barn in one place, and a cattle barn in another locality, etc., has been found more inconvenient and expensive than to group them near each other. The labor of getting the crops to one locality is less than that involved in passing to and fro to feed them out in winter. All the outbuildings are more or less dependent. The corn crib bears certain relations to the pigpen and tlie poultry house, etc. The same ]mmp may serve the sheep,cattle, and other farm stock, provided they are housed close by it, and therefore near one another.The farmer who intends to erect any building should first consider the amount he wishes to store in it. This calculation must be based upon the present and prospective size of his farm, the number of acres of each crop, the kind and number of head of live stock, etc., etc. It may not be within one's power to go into every minute detail; but it is far better to canvass the ground thoroughly, and base the size of the buildings required upon calculations carefully made, than upon none at all. In constructing farm buildings, the error is usually on the side of too small structures, as the thousands of lean-to sheds, ''annex" stables, and hay stacks, etc., through the country testify to.After the site and size have been carefully decided upon, there is much still to be done, to make the out-l)uildings present a neat appearance. Barns can be pleasing objects, and impart an impression of comfort and completeness upon all who see them. This attractive appearance will depend upon the symmetry and exterior finish of the buildings themselves, their grouping, the ])lauting of suitable shade trees, etc., etc.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
