Designing the Best Pole Barn For Your Animals

Pole barns come in all shapes and sizes and serve many different purposes. One of the most popular types of pole barns we build is the agricultural pole barn, one that provides safety, warmth and shelter for your animals. Cultivating a habitat for healthy animals starts with designing a barn that’s best for them.

Milmar can help you conceptualize any type of pole barn project. We have many years of experience blending together unique Amish craftsmanship and expert design, all at a good price. We’re a go to source for quality residential, commercial and agricultural pole barns.

Constructing the best barn with your animals in mind is very important to us. When we build an agricultural pole barn we design it to optimize the living quarters for your animals. We understand the best barns not only look great but provide an excellent habitat: one that’s nice and cool during the dog days of August, and also heated in the winter months. A barn that maintains good air quality and clean floors. When we build barns, we make it as easy as possible for you to follow the standards of Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

• Ample Ventilation — Your agricultural barn must be designed with good air flow as one of the most important features. Eliminating odors, toxic gases and condensation is easy with a barn featuring adequate windows, doors and other types of ventilation such as fans or blowers.
• Temperature Requirements — Part of the APHIS requirement outline that the temperature of a barn housing animals must be prevented from extremes, specifically that the facility must stay above 45 degrees and below 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Accessible Feeders — Appropriately designed barns with easily accessible automatic feeders are a must-have feature. Taking the leg work out of this process can save you significant amounts of time while efficiently feeding multiple animals at once.
• Continuous, Fresh Water — Having a system for your animals to drink fresh water that is separate from the feeding units is a sanitary and safe way to keep your animals hydrated.
