Star General Farm Barn Plan No. 1738 ft. wide, 70 ft. long and approximately 37 ft. from grade to ridge. A small ensilage room is built adjacent to the silo. The cow barn is partitioned off from the horse and pen barn. There are stall accommodations for 20 milch cows, 4 single horse stalls, a cow pen and a calf pen. The stock face out. An enclosed stairway to mow is planned in relation to the driveway above. A spreader can be driven through the barn. Bedding and roughage can be brought into the barn through the same driveway. |
The foundation walls are built of local field stone.
The ceiling height is 8 ft. 6 in. in the clear.
This type of gable barn is a favorite in certain sections of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It has all the good features of the old timber framed barn, but is modern in construction.
The frame is built of plank and the roof is supported by trusses.
Hay mow capacity is 85 tons of loose hay.
