Beginning with the earliest American farms,
corn on the cob was seasoned and dried by allowing
air to flow around it; this kept away mold.
From simple, square cribs of alternately piled logs,
covered by a sloping roof, the corncrib evolved
to the drive-in crib. The sidewalls always slanted
outward at the eaves. On a great many mountain
farms this was the beginning of barn architecture,
for by adding doors in the driveway wall.
you have the simplest American barn.
Today, a much more efficient structure for the
storage of corn along with large farm implement
storage is provided by the imaginative use of
the Laminated Rafter. The exceptional strength of
this aesthetically pleasing arch may be readily
combined with simple construction, requiring a
minimum amount of materials and erection time.-
It is a structure that permits great flexibility,
because all inside space is useable, offering so
many possibilities for a variety of farming needs.
