Best Answer

A pole barn has a very basic structure. Poles (or posts) usually of wood are sunk into the ground and made level. Essentially, a roof is then affixed to the top. Walls are optional.

They are common on farms to store livestock, food and machinery.

A regular barn will not usually have posts throughout the middle, but will rely on the strength of the walls to keep it upright.
