Why Farmers Depend on 6x6 and 8x8 Timbers for Barns and Corrals
Strong, reliable lumber is the backbone of agriculture. From barns and corrals to hay storage and fencing, farmers and ranchers need heavy timbers that can handle the toughest jobs. At Dark Horse Timber, we supply rough cut 6x6 and 8x8 timbers designed for strength, durability, and long-term performance across Utah and the Intermountain West.
Barn Framing and Post Construction
Barns and agricultural sheds must stand up to high winds, heavy snow, and years of daily use. That’s why most farm builds rely on 6x6 and 8x8 posts for framing.
6x6 Timbers are commonly used for vertical posts in pole barns.
8x8 Timbers provide even more stability for load-bearing applications.
Rough cut dimensions mean true size and extra strength compared to dimensional lumber.
For farmers, that extra strength ensures barns remain safe, stable, and dependable for decades.
Corral Fencing and Livestock Shelters
When it comes to livestock, fencing and shelter need to be tough enough to withstand pressure from animals while lasting through harsh weather.
6x6 posts are ideal for corral fencing, keeping livestock secure.
8x8 beams make excellent support for shelters and lean-tos.
Rough cut timbers resist wear, impact, and long-term outdoor exposure.
Whether you’re building corrals for cattle, pens for horses, or shelters for smaller livestock, heavy timbers deliver unmatched reliability.
Grain Bin or Hay Storage Reinforcement
Storing feed, hay, or grain requires lumber that can carry extreme weight without bowing or shifting. Heavy timbers are perfect for:
Supporting grain bins with structural posts.
Hay barn beams that hold tons of bales without sagging.
Raised storage platforms to keep feed dry and secure.
The bulk and density of rough cut timbers provide long-term stability, reducing risk of collapse or damage to valuable supplies.
