A '''barracks''' is a [[room]] defined from an indoor [[bed]], [[armor stand]], or [[weapon rack]].  Barracks provide places for your dwarves to [[sparring|spar]] and sleep.

[[Sparring]] requires enough clear floor space inside the barracks to dodge and maneuver in; 3x3 is a safe lower limit.

When a [[bedroom]] is set as a barracks, dwarves will not claim the room when they sleep.  If no beds are available, they will sleep on the floor of a barracks.  If that isn't available, they will fall asleep where they stand, potentially leaving dwarves in dangerous locations.  Military dwarves may be ordered to sleep in a barracks, even if they have a bedroom.

If your barracks is full of damaged, bloodstained clothes, this is because sparring dwarves have ripped them off of each other while practising their [[wrestling]].  Presently, there seems to be no way to get rid of the clothing, aside from killing the owner (and his/her spouse, if any).  More importantly, wrestlers will occasionally spill the content of [[backpack]]s. The latter can result in rotting food that can not be moved because it is owned by a dwarf (who doesn't bother to collect it). It might therefore be advisable to make barracks a room that can be locked up to avoid dwarves getting in contact with [[miasma]].
