[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 511540, member: 2324"] I would go wider. When we built our barn, 42' was the cutoff before truss prices skyrocketed. Set posts on 6' centers. Plan for electricity, water and phone lines. A clear 12' path from end to end is nice for driving through. 36' width would allow for 12' x 12' pens on each side, and a 12' road through the middle. We thought about a hay loft, but it's cheaper to go bigger than higher. I don't think you can build a barn too big. [/QUOTE]
