We bought a house and had to strart from scratch for every thing Just land & a house... So money being an issue & needing a barn for the mini's, a building for the chickens, a fenced in pasture for the mini's and fenced in yard for the dogs, we need to spend carefuly.
I was only going to use half of it... But I took over the whole thing LOL, but he will get a barn to soon.
Mini Barn 18 feet by 20 feet - peek is 8.5 feet tall - New car port, installed for 699.00 about 200.00 in wood & screws, 2 days of work for us.
We took ply wood and ran it down the sides... The 10 inch opening will be inclosed with clear roofing panels in cold weather, open other wise for air flow.
We still need to make solid doors for the front for the cold cold nights & we will put something over the side door to.
The side door is made out of fence with a piece of plywood blocking them from pawing at it.. That was a temp thing, BUT i like how i can see through the barn from the house.
View from my side porch
Doing the loop in the drive
Comming in our drive view
The 2 huge trees are being removed in the next week, didnt think that through before we put in the carport.. I was thinking about giving them shade, not think of the storms comming through and maybe dropping one on the barn.. Dahhh they will be gone and they still have shade trees away from the barn.
We did the chicken building the same way but it is 18 feet by 30 feet it was 1200.00 installed and we made the pens inside & out.
So if you on the hunt for a new barn, heres an idea for you.. Most of the hard & high work is done by workers and the rest can be done in a few days with a helper.
Ply wood
2by4's
self tapping screws
wood screws
Clear roofing panels
few bags of pine shavings
Hay rack
and you have a barn
I have mine open with no stalls
not sure if I will keep it as it is or do stalls, its working well open
But you know how it is - all ways changing or adding to what you have LOL
I am all ready plotting on a dry lot to the side were the trees are being removed from with its own shelter.
