RE: OLD BARN № 095 - revisited, now a house!

in Ladies of Hive14 days ago

What a transformation, the owners did a great job. Are these barns are built of timber, and what about the foundation? We're used to brick or stone buildings here, less of timber (I think)

Sort:  

Yes, most barns here are built of timber, and then treated with linseed oil or other things to make them a bit more weather resistant. I've seen a few stone barns, but they're more rare in this part of the world. I'm not an expert on barn foundations, but I think some are built on poured concrete slabs, for stability. Not sure about some of the older ones, though, but it's a great question! Thanks for stopping by! 😊
