pole barn

Open farm building

A pole barn is a simple agricultural building framed with wooden poles or posts set directly into the ground rather than on a continuous foundation.

The poles support the roof and walls, making construction faster and cheaper than conventional framing.

Originally for storing hay and sheltering livestock, pole barns now serve as garages, workshops, and storage buildings: We're putting up a pole barn for the tractor.
