What exactly is a bay in barn?

The drive through center section is the center bay, the left and right Bays are from the main beams to each side. Usually (often) 16 feet each. Jim's opinion from old timers and remembered terminology. Jim

The old fashioned barns that were timber framed in sections, for example a haymow, then a threshing floor, then a haymow on the other side, each being divided by timber framework, each section is a bay.

Chances are it can vary geographically. Around here it is, or was, as Farmer John says.
