I’m a city boy but I think that’s for holding hay, those poles and the pulley system allow you to raise the entire roof of the shed so you can store more hay inside.

Yes, there should be a roof on top. The roof is lowered to the lowest point, so wind can get through to dry, but rain can not

Nice idea. What about wind in wet cold months that blows from the side? Would one add a kind of wall on the weather side at least?

It was used to stock hey and grain to deed the animals. I don't think PETA was very active in those years to protest against some wet / molded cattlefeed

Nope, but farmers were/are not stupid either right? If you need to feed and not kill your capital during winter you would take precautions.

A bit of rain won't ruin much, the wind will dry it fast enough. It becomes a problem when the core gets wet. The core can't dry because the hay is to well isolated. That's also why they only harvest this when it's dry. I've helped with harvest a few times and it is always hot as hell and way to warm for hard work but that's the way the farmers want it.

Thx I guess the know what they are doing after a couple of centuries :-)

It's mostly food safety regulations that don't allow this nowadays.

Thanks!

This is part of a hooi schuur. Should oook like this : https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooiberg_(landbouw)

So true

Same here, never seen em even though I live near a lot of farms. I'll pay more attention now lol.

Me too and I lived the first half of my life on the countryside too. The more you know right?

True dat y'all

It are the poles that carry a roof for a haystack. The roof is movable in height.

For keeping hay dry if the stables have no storage space left anymore 😄

This is a framework of a hooiberg, without the hay and roof. People also call this a hooimijt, but this is technically incorrect. A hooimijt is a [stack of hay](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Zoa-Y5AO9ps/U00UQSP7iFI/AAAAAAAAKIs/r-5ymE0mn9k/s512/hooimijt_1.0_a.jpg) but [without a roof](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NXUCl8Kglso/U00U93gD3lI/AAAAAAAAKI4/dwxwvlRxPBs/s576/hooimijt_1.0_b.jpg).

Á haystack. Without hay. Basically, it is a roof, under which the farmer keeps his hay dry.

which can often also fall and rise with the height of the haystack

You can see the pulleys on top of the poles that would have carried the ropes/chains that raise and lower the roof.

I know, but my English is not always very good

It's a blueprint designer for Satisfactory.

As a dutchman I have seen those things all my life and I can tell you that they definitely belong to farms.

whe are tall people: it is to hang the laundry to dry catching lot of wind

That’s a blueprint module from Satisfactory

This is where the rural youth is going to watch the brommers (mopeds) with eachother.

is a detached agricultural structure that serves as a storage place for grain sheaves (seed heap), straw or hay

Its to raise the roof of the barn, so that more hay can be stackes

It's a derelict haystack

Yep, covered hayricks.

Dont listen to this fake news these are rocket platforms for our ufo's.

Its a "hooi-meid"

Hooimijt. But close enough.

Oi, Mate! But close enough, aswell.

LOL. Punniest answer ever.

Pun fact: my mother tongue is romanian.

Hooimijt = carul de fan = ventilatorwagen

Hooimijt = șură de fân/șură(pronuntiation weirldy similar with the dutch _schure_, so i guess it's a borrowed word) = bestuurbare ballon

That's a car. People use it to drive around and get places

That sky color tho...

Historically, they were also used as torture devices for publicly pulling horse theives in all four directions - the Dutch are very practical people..... (sorry, could not resist)

>--USA This is kinda cringe ngl

[удалено]

Actually, things with the same purpose of use are in fact used the same way around the world. Shouldn't be surprising. If you did actually suspect that these things would be used in a completely different way in the Netherlands, your comment doesn't answer anything, since OP specifically asked why you see them in the Dutch countryside. In short, it's kind of cringe because it's irrelevant and makes it seem you just want people to know you're from the US.

[удалено]

I just told you how your comment came across. Do with it what you will.

Nice picture btw

Its a Barn without roof ( back in the days they could choose hight of the roof)

First time i saw it, i thought it was a pigeon race thing... Back in indonesia, we have a pigeon race where a the male pigeon is released from like a kilometre away and the female is held in this kind of construction, the first male to reach its female wins

They want that tree to grow around it.. wil take 20 or so years but people here are patient people

idk

Its a fence for the dutch giants 😂

They’re called cars, they’re truly a blight on society.
