Don’t Build a Barn Until You Know This Rule

If I were building a barn from scratch, where would I start? In this video, I walk through how I’d design a barn that works whether you’re starting with one stall or planning to grow over time. This isn’t about building the biggest or fanciest barn. It’s about designing something functional, flexible, and realistic for a working homestead. I share the core components every barn needs, why a 12×12 stall is the ideal modular starting point, and how to lay things out so you can expand later without tearing things down or wasting money. If you’re building on a budget, dealing with winter weather, or trying to make daily chores easier, this approach will save you time and frustration. I also show how stall layout, breezeway width, ventilation, access, and storage all work together — and what I think through before I ever start setting posts. 👉 Read the full blog post and see the barn layout breakdown here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/barn-d...
