Manuel needed a barn to house his tobacco. He built a barn 52 feet long with three 16-foot sections. The two side sections are four tier poles high, and the middle section is five tier poles high. He did not need tier poles on the outside because the frame of the barn serves as a tier pole. The tier poles are placed on a 48-inch center. He used 16-foot-long 3X6s for tier poles that sell for $1.68 per board foot.
