Birds just love this barn.

The webs in these trusses are easy nest areas for birds. They also restrict air flow which leads to poor ventilation and moisture buildup in the building.

MINIATURE HORSE FULL SERVICE FACILITY Lessons • Specialized programs for all ages • Tack Shop Stud Service • Miniature Horse Sales • Driving Equipment

W24141 Starwood Ln., Independence, WI 54747 Website:

Tom & Jeanne Caine Jamie Lynch The arched rafters create a more open barn allowing better ventilation. Also since there are no open webs in the trusses, there are no places for birds to nest
