Has anyone built or had built a pole barn with an earth floor? Does anyone know a company that could build one?

I know these are very common in North America but everyone in the UK seems to build barns and stables onto concrete and I don't actually need concrete as the soil is so well drained.

Any recommendations?

Hello,

My place had one when I bought it.

You can buy North American books of barn plans on amazon and
just convert the materials to metric. The design is very
simple, with the most important part being able to put the
poles in upright and in line so the roof timbers line up.

The earth floor stays dry and firm, so I have not seen any
need for concrete.

Good luck - dene
