General Purpose Barn Plan No. 20

30 ft. wide, 36 ft. long and approximately 29 ft. high from grade to ridge.

There are stalls for 5 cows, a cow pen and a calf pen. Three horses are stabled across one end.

Access to hay mow is by a stairs conveniently located in the feed room.

Feed can be stored in bags, or spouted from an overhead bin. Hay mow capacity is 34 tons of hay

 

Ground floor height is 8 ft. 6 in. in clear.

Ground floor and foundation walls are of concrete and extend 2 ft. above grade.

The construction is of the plank frame, braced rafter type, shown on page 154. The exterior walls are covered with horizontal drop siding. The barn is well lighted and ventilated by a STAR System of ventilation.

The studs, sills, plates, and rafters are of 2 in. material. Joists are supported by two built-up girders. STAR Steel Supporting Columns are specified.

There are a number of small farms where a barn of this type will furnish all the accommodations needed—a farm where the owner does all the work and wishes to keep but few cows and horses.
