2019, Waiting on lambs!

[secuono]

I need to build walls that "collapse" away for the summer heat, but then fold out for winter & spring lambing...

Here's a terrible pic of what I was thinking of.
Red are heavy hinges.
Blue is where the boards will swing to.
Orange is plywood panels.
Top row of boards would swing up & latch to roof beams.
The boards at the end wall would swing in & latch to wall.
And the ones on the open support posts would swing out & latch together as to not take up barn space.

Then, yesterday, the horses decided to open up the barn further...
I have to do this project before winter.
I need to buy new wood to replace the two red lines. I'll then enclose that rectangle.

Then, I need to dig & install a new concrete support column. Tie in wood from left to the right.
I'll leave that big opening & make a temporary wall for winter use.

Welp...that huge beam on the concrete, ya see it in previous pics?

Its NOT attached to the concrete...

Horses shoved it 2ft out. I shoved it back, but the whole thing, all 15+ feet of it, holding the rest of the barn wall up, is sticking out a few inches.

Horses....
