I went to HF and bought an IR thermometer with a laser pointer. The pole barn was so warm I removed my jacket and worked in long selves.
My barn has no insulation, just solar heat. The temp of the south wall of barn was nice and toasty when the full sun was hitting it at 1:40 today. I took the pic of the outside of the barn at 5:10 as I was clocking out. The doors are on the south end. The inside temp had dropped to 51. The sun was on it's way down. As long as the sun is out, the barn has always been warmer than outside temps. Just working out of the wind is good enough for me. The solar heat is a bonus.
