Plan 8161

Open-end Pole Barn

This plan consists of 4 sheets giving details for a general-purpose livestock loose-housing barn. This barn is open at one end (for ventilation and livestock traffic) instead of along one side. This makes it especially suitable for sheltering a bedded area for beef or dairy cattle: with over 3.4 m (11 ft) clearance from floor to roof trusses, the manure pack can accumulate all winter and be removed easily with tractor and manure loader when fields are ready for manure spreading. For versatility and ease of cleaning, this building has a post-free interior using roof trusses spanning 12, 15 or 18 m (40, 50 or 60 ft), depending on requirements.
