I can not express my gratitude in text to the degree that I would like. This video inspired me to build a tiny barn using your design. I don't have access to a timber lot, so I had to make do with the farm store and lumber yard. I did add a four foot "porch" roof to the long front due to the summer Florida rains and I enclosed the feed trough area so Julie doesn't get her head wet. The siding is 6" wide fence pickets. It looks great! But more importantly it gives me a dry place to milk the cow. Thank you so much!

He grew up in the depression and didn't throw away anything. My first job when he was building something was to straighten the nails that we pulled from old houses on our property.

For the poles and sills.. does it matter what type of tree it is? You mentioned cedar but my property in North Western Ontario is flooded with birch, will using birch instead of cedar make a difference ?

Hey Tanner, for the poles that are in contact with the ground, you need a tree type that is resistant to rot. I think birch would rot too quickly as poles, but might be a good option for the horizontal sills.
