This gallery has images of details from a variety of barn roof structures.  Some are functional, and some are aesthetic.  Some are architectural wonders and complex, and some are basic.  Some are good for snow loads and hurricanes, and others are minimal in support.  Some have soundproofing, and others are tin and loud when it rains.

Hand made barn (except crane and cement footers). Hand cut hemlock structures, pine siding boards, pegs made of either hemlock or oak. Pegs soaked in home made boric acid to prevent insect damage. Copper plate between cement and post to prevent damage. All joints, slots, pegs and posts cut by hand . Pre assembled then torn down and then assembled on site with help from neighbors and a crane. 1 of 7 images.

Barn interior – Timber ceilings, surrounding ceiling windows, stalls form a courtyard with a statue of a bald eagle in the center.
Hurricane joist straps, Electric outlet for fan installation.
A simple and clean ceiling in a well ventilated FL barn. Note the well lit ceiling fixtures, the sprinkler system, the CCTV cameras, the music speakers and the poured rubber floor.

A beautiful ceiling with laminated and curved trusses. Bird control is poor as seen on the stall wall.
A well-built roof for a hurricane-prone FL. Note electrical conduit and ventilation through the roof and over the stalls. One problem is cobweb formation and cleaning.
