CORE LIST 



BARN-- 10 STALL 



PLAN NO. 6170 



( 1 SHEET ) 



A horse barn should be well planned, durable, and 

 attractive. Its basic purpose is to provide an environ- 

 ment that protects horses from injury and temperature 

 extremes, keeps them dry and out of the wind, elimi- 

 nates drafts, and provides fresh air in both winter and 

 summer. 



Barn styles are determined by the distinctive shape 

 of the roof. The size and spacing of the structural 

 members and the type of roofing used are determined 

 by engineering design. This gambrel roof shape is used 

 mainly on two-story barns up to 40 feet wide. 



This plan features two rows of stalls, five in each row, 

 serviced from a 5-foot-wide center alley. Each side has 

 two rear windows for light and ventilation. During hot 



Washington, D.C. 



weather, the top sections of the dutch doors can be 

 left open for cross ventilation. 



Stall partitions should be of 2-inch plank or no less 

 than 3/4-inch plywood solidly supported by vertical 

 posts. The lowest three planks can be pressure-treated 

 with a wood preservative to minimize deterioration. 



Complete working drawings may be obtained from the extension 

 agricultural engineer at your Stttte university. There may be a small 

 charge to cover cost of printing. •

 request to Agricultural Engineer, Extension Service. I .S. Department 

 of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. He will forward your requi*t 

 to the correct university.
