Talk:Dutch barn

message: Something is wrong in the statement, "Some of the hay that was a by-product of this process was stored in hay-lofts, and some in haystacks, but the latter was prone to spoiling by rain." Hay is not a by-product of grain processing. The stalk of grains makes straw.

thread_title: Dutch Barns in the United Kingdom

message: I put the UK examples at the end as they seem chronologically to be the youngest. Hay barns in general came in in the late C18, but I have a gut feeling (but as yet no proof) that the Dutch barns are a later development, prob mid C19.  I'll see if I can find a citation.  Certainly what are commonly called DBs in the UK nowadays are the pole barn types.  I'm going to put the US egs back at the start as that's where they belong, I reckon!Cobwall 13:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Organisation of the article

message: I have a concern with the statement "The New Jersey concentration of Dutch barns was greater than that found in the Hudson or Mohawk River valleys." I have seen no reference pointing out where this has been shown.  Another statement "The Bull family, who still own their 1722 ancestral home in New York's Orange County, claim the property's Dutch barn, shown in the lead photograph for this article, is the only New World one still standing" - while they claim such, they are not correct in saying so.  I know of at least fifteen within a 30 minute drive of my home.  I believe this statement should be removed or revised.  In the meantime I have put the word inaccurately before the word claim.
I have added two books and a newsletter to the article.  I have also fixed the link to the Dutch Barn Preservation Society.  Mention of a Low Dutch settlement in Kentucky places the guess that Dutch Barns in Kentucky may not be Dutch Barns in question.
The design section could use a little sprucing up.  Correct terminology would be useful - The mortised and tenoned and pegged beams are arranged in "H-shaped" units. could read as The mortise and tenoned beams are arranged in "H-shaped" bents, usually four or five to a barn but could be as few as three or as many as six. Mention of the variations of the standard Dutch Barn such as U barns, anglicized dutch barns, etc. would also be valuable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bathrick (talk • contribs) 07:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't speak for all of your comments, but would support removal of the claim of only Dutch barn standing based on what you say. This "The New Jersey concentration of Dutch barns was greater than that found in the Hudson or Mohawk River valleys." I believe comes from the Noble article if I am not mistaken. I will make sure.

replies: text: And reword anything you feel like, just make sure not to use too much jargon, remember our readers likely know nothing about dutch barns and their design. IvoShandor 08:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
