What is the most important thing to do to my barn?
Uncontrolled moisture and water is the most destructive element to the continued stability of your barn. Keep the roof in good condition to insure water does not get inside and rot essential, structural parts. Keep the foundation clear and stable by having effective grading that directs water run-off away from the wooden sills and foundation of the building. Remove vegetation growing close to the barn. Remove trees and shrubs to keep roots from undermining and damaging the foundation.
