Double plank doors in west gable and single plank door in east

run to arcade plates and to tie beams. On the central, free

arched braces to the crown purlin and collar. 2 passing braces
drop from the crown purlin through the tie beam, arcade posts
and arcade struts to floor level. East and west walls with
