It is interesting to know that pole barn has varied uses such as shelter for livestock, storing machinery and storing feed. The size of the pole barn may be calculated according the purpose of it. If the purpose behind the construction of a pole barn building is to store two horses, then the size can be say 24-by-24 feet.

In the same way you may have to increase the size of the building depending upon other uses such as storing a farm tractor or turning it around within the building. Floor requirements have to be well determined in advance. Concrete flooring is a good option in case you would like to store grain and hay. Concrete floor of 6 inches is highly recommended. Determine also the lumber needs for the walls. Planks or tin may be used. Corrugated tin is an excellent choice when it comes to laying the roof of the building.
