I have never seen a pole barn nor do I fully understand them, so bear with me on this one.
I understand that posts are banged into the ground, and a roof put ontop of that.
The sides can then be clad, with metal or something.
Now, the question. I assume that the cladding doesnt reack all the way down into the ground, otherwise it would rust/rot. So the question is, what fills the gap between the cladding and the ground, to stop animals/draughts/water?
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
If anyone has a barn of this sort with a dirt floor, and details of doors, and pointers would help.
As to why I ask, I have been 'needing' an extention on the shed for about a year. The other day a mate said he wouldnt mind helping if I kept him in drinks, and that spurred me into action. I've got plans, just need a few details.
