General Purpose Barn Plan No. 18

34 ft. wide, 70 ft. long and 36 ft. high from grade to ridge.

There is a wide driveway on the silo end from which hay can be unloaded into the mow. Driveway is separated from the rest of the barn by a tight partition, which prevents the dust from getting into the barn proper.

The barn contains accommodations for 12 cows, a cow pen and a pen for 5 calves. Pro-visions are made for 4 horses, including a box stall and a grain bin. The stock face out.

Hay mow capacity is 76 tons.

 

The barn is of a plank frame, trussed construction, as shown on page 148.

The foundation extends 3 ft. 6 in. above grade, and is of concrete.

The frame walls above foundation are sided with vertical siding.

The feed and cleaning alleys are wide and the cross alley is well located. The vertical siding above the high foundation gives this barn a pleasing and substantial appearance.

Here is a roomy and convenient barn. It is well lighted and well ventilated and is out-fitted complete with STAR Equipment, which means making it a building in which the greatest amount of work can be accomplished with the least effort.
