Frost damage prevention around outside of old dairy barn ?

[Cycledude]

That will be what handles the bulk of the problem. As a builder & framer, I saw more damage from missing & clogged gutters than I can remember.

Now make sure you have the downspouts piped a good distance away from the foundation. The best gutters won’t help unless the downspouts carry the water away from your exterior walls.

Yes the new downspouts do direct the water away from the building nicely and the ground at that end of the barn has a very nice slope for the water to be able to drain away.
