By today's construction standards, many of the early pioneer structures seem rough and partially finished. But finished wood was not available from your local Home Depot or Lowes, the early American pioneers had to manufacture all of their wood as well as build the structures. The gaps in the beams were covered by shingles or any other available substance. This photo shows the interior of a grain drying shed and the original covering is still on the roof but the covering on the sides is open for air to get in.
