The load on the walls is critical to the answer, but typically barn walls are framed with 8x8 posts, 8x10 girts, 4x6 braces and 4x6 nailers. The beams are joined with traditional mortise and tenons and held with hardwood pegs. Each member should be sized for the load it carries. The girts should be able to carry the weight of the joists and all floor loads, and the roof plates should be able to carry the weight of the rafters, roof decking and snow. Braces keep the frame from 'racking' (leaning under wind wind loads). Racking can also be prevented by running the barn siding on the diagonal, or by using plywood sheathing.

How is a solid different from a frame?
In a frame the structure is not continuous throughout the panels of the building, but is in connected lines of structure that form a frame. For example in timber framed buildings: the timber is a structural frame that does not completely fill in the walls, roof and floor. These are clad over and lined within the framing to form panels. The framing bears the structural loads. In concrete or brick masonry construction: the walls are formed by the masonry units being put together to form solid walls. This means the loads of the building are distributed throughout the entire wall.

It all depends on the wall construction. Timber frames can have conventionally framed 2x walls or SIP (structural insulated panel) walls.

To see a typical timber frame SIP wall configuration, see the link below.
