The barn, depending on your location, can be enclosed on 3 sides (or with half of the front covered). Another choice is to open it on the side, facing the sun in winter. This way you will have prevailing winds for summer cooling of the horse. Make the roof from fiberglass or sheet metal. Both of these come in varying lengths and are 26 inches (10. 14 cm) wide. The wall cladding is the same material used for the roof.
Use 2 x 4-inch (5. 08 x 10. 16 cm) wood grits, or lattice board, 2 feet (. 61 meters) apart from the bottom of the skirt board to the top of the wall on 3 sides. Opt for 2 x 6-inch (5. 08 x 15. 24 cm) treated wood board all around the outside of the pole barn for the roof frame to sit on the top grit. Set the stringer top edge (on the side wall section) 6 feet (1. 83 meters) from the ground. Now raise the front end up to the 8-foot (2. 44 meters) mark on the front. Cut the post off flush with the roof stringers.
The holes are pre-drilled and use special #12 2-inch (2. 12 cm) metallic steel hex drill-point roofing screws. Cut to fit using a circular saw fitted with a metal cutoff blade on the sloped sides.
