Our new battle ground receives not only a military area, also a little village. A church and some other buildings are present; but a barn is still missing. A typical barn for the area eastern Berlin.
I have researched some photos and then were drawings made. A mixed method of construction is the aim; partly a timbering and the long sides with a clap board closed. The barn has a rectangle floor plan and receive a way through in longitudinal direction. The overall size is round about 0,90 m x 0,60 m; in original were this round about 15 x 9 m and big enough, to pass through with some of our vehicles.
For a minimal weight at this size it receives a skeleton from square pine stripes 10 mm x 10 mm. Now to realization; I’ve started with cutting pine stripes and to assemble the first gable side.
Vertical I’ve used additionally wooden dowels from wooden skewers as at my timbered house. This gives more stability.
The first gable side is almost finished.
I decided me to give my gates archways. The necessary bows were saw from a 10 mm thick board.
The parts were drawn, cut and…
…thereafter glued in.
The counter side is also finished.
My precast side parts for the barn reminds at the sides of a child’s bed…
After subsequently assembly of all single parts was the base framework finished; it follows some struts for a better stability.
Continued soon…
