This shed style barn is constructed with solid 6 x 6 pressure
treated poles placed 3' deep into the earth in concrete. The rafters are constructed on 2' centers - not 12' spans as many Georgia barn builders will profess as "quality." The 2' overhang functions to protect the siding of rough sawn board and batt. The walls are studded and covered on both sides. The ground plates are made of pressure treated 4 x 6 milled lumber. Mary's barn won't be leaking as the 29 gauge siliconized polyester metal is NOT secured to the rafters, but rather to the lathing constructed of 2 x 4s on 2' centers.
