Monitor Style Barn
A post frame monitor style barn is a distinct type of agricultural building characterized by its efficient construction and practical design. The barn features a central aisle with a raised roof, commonly known as the "monitor," flanked by lower shed sections on each side. This design allows for natural light to penetrate the interior space through the higher windows situated along the monitor's walls. The structural support comes from sturdy posts buried directly into the ground, reducing the need for complex foundations and allowing for a spacious, open interior that is ideal for storage, livestock, or workshop areas. The post frame construction not only makes it cost-effective but also provides flexibility in terms of interior layout and future modifications.
