NOTES FROM YOOR
EXTENSION SERVICE
Lew E. Hanks
There has been considerable
terest shown in the use of pole
from construction of farm build
ings. Pole frame construction is
suitable for almost any farm
building. Basically this type of
construction is: Poles, treated to
prevent rot and set about four
feet or more in the ground, 8 to 16 i
feet apart to provide the basic
farmework of the building. They
are braced, cut off at the roof
line, plates and bracing provided
and a conventional type of roof
construction used. Siding of any ,
type may be used over girts or
stringers between the posts. The
main advantage of this type of
construction is the use of less
material by eliminating footing^
foundations, and wall studding.
Plans for several types of budd
ings are available through the
Plan Service at the Extension of
fice.
Basic to pole frame construc
tion is the use of treated poles.
They will last 20 years or more.
Untreated poles will rot out in
4 or 5 years. Information on pole
treatment can be obtained at the •
Extension Service office.
It may be possible to get treat
ed cedar poles from Outside in
car load lots at very reasonable
prices. If you are interested, drc^)
in and see us. I will be glad to
pool orders if enough farmers are
interested.
Speaking of poles and your
shortage of ^bedding—the Palmer
Soil Conservation subdistrict’s
wood chipper is still here for use.
I still think it’s easier to chip
chips than to wash cows. Do you?
