Pentcho,

In one frame, the pole is length contracted to fit inside the barn,
and the barn doors are closed simultaneously, trapping the pole
inside.  The doors are then opened, allowing the pole to pass through.

In the other frame, the barn is length dilated, but the barn doors are
closed, first one, then the other, and opened one after another,
<different times>.  We have to drop simultaneity in order to get the
pole through the barn.
Hope this helps.
