SPECIFICATIONS. 



FOR 



BARK AHD WAGON SHED 

 26 '0" x 42' 0" 



This barn is designed especially for use where 

 loose hay is fed, and where need prevails for the 

 accommodation of a large number of horses. 



If baled hay is fed, the space in the hay mow will 

 be larger than needed. The surplus space may be utilized 

 to good advantage by installing an upper floor at a hight 

 of 12 feet. This may be done by setting a ribbon of 1" x 6" 

 material into the studding at a point 11 feet above the 

 floor, lower the ceiling joists on two foot centers to 

 this ribbon. They will serve as upper floor joists upon 

 which 1" x 12" flooring with 5/8" x 3" battens under the 

 cracks may be placed. The grain room may be partitioned 

 off on this floor and the remaining space used for a 

 store room. In case, the upper floor is installed, the 

 roof must be securely braced with 2" x 6" collar beams 

 and 2" x 6" struts placed about 612" above the upper floor 

 level. 



. ., This barn is not adapted to regions of heavy- 

 snowfall. In tjhe Sierra Forests, it should not be built 

 at elevations over 3500 feet, or where the snowfall 

 exceeds four feet of ordinary light snow, two feet snow 

 well settled, or water-soaked pnow. 



These specifications are intended to embrace 

 all material necessary in the erection and completion of 

 the building in all its parts, and to furnish such 

 instructions as appear necessary to give the builder a 

 general idea of the plan. Variations due to different 

 locations and accessibility of lumber markets have been 

 considered and estimates prepared accordingly. 



The general plan as regards construction of 

 frame and other vital parts of the structures is to be 

 followed unless permission to deviate from the plans and 

 specifications has first been secured from the District 

 Forester. Deviations of minor consequence, however, to 

 take care of unforeseen local conditions and circumstances 

 may be made by the builder.
