About These Cooperative Extension Plans: These plans
were developed over many years by engineers at U.S. Land Grant
universities. They are generally older plans that need to be
revised for today's construction methods, codes and standards.
They provide design ideas and conceptual information for
planning purposes. The plans were prepared through the USDA
Cooperative Farm Buildings Plan Exchange.
Buildings must
resist various forces from snow, wind, earthquake and use. They
also must adhere to local building and zoning codes. A local
building inspector, engineer, building supplier, or building
contractor can help you determine what is a safe and legal
building for your area.
