While planning the new barn, I keep coming across conflicting information on barn orientation (ie., north-south vs east-west). Both sides list the various pros/cons and the preference does not seem to be geographically linked (cold vs hot climate).
I have been studying the old structures (dating back to the depression era or earlier) on our plot and see that all of the buildings and remaining pads have been rotated approximately 12 degrees from the east-west axis roughly like so:
There are multiple pads/buildings situated like this and they span over several acres so I believe that it was intentional. Any ideas as to why they would have rotated the buildings (does not appear to be topographically related)? Also. how has everyone else oriented their barn(s)?
