How to Build a Pony Barn
Buy the lumber, hardware, cement, wood paneling and tin at your hardware store.
Pick a flat location, out of wind gusts and not in a rain run-off area. Dig four, 4 foot holes in each corner of a 7 foot square for your 4-by-4 foot posts.
Pour cement in the holes. Set the 4-by-4-foot posts into the ground. This will give you an inside barn height of 8 feet, plenty of room for a pony's head.
Decide which side is going to be the front of the barn (avoid facing North for wind protection). Leave this side open until last. Screw the solid sheet of plywood against the North side of the barn, using the power drill. Attach the 2 plywood panel walls to the other two side posts. Attach the 1/2 plywood panel to post with hinges, to make an opening stall door. Attach hardware to post and to panel for a latch.
Screw your 4 2-by-4 foot cross member boards across the roof to support the tin. Attach the tin roofing to the 2-by-4 foot boards with power drill.
