America 250 | To Craft a Better Life

We recently had the privilege of raising a 30' x 50' Bitterroot Timber Frame Pavilion for the Springfield Boys & Girls Club. This nonprofit located in Springfield, Massachusetts provides a safe environment for children and teenagers, offering academic support, mentorship, and engaging programs. The club recently added an outdoor park to the grounds, and turned to The Barn Yard for an authentic timber frame pavilion. With a large footprint and a clear span king post timber truss system, the Bitterroot Pavilion is the perfect choice for this space. Several picnic tables under the pavilion provide space for youth to eat, learn, and play throughout the day. 

This 24' x 30' Plymouth Carriage Barn on Cape Cod is a great hangout spot for friends & family. The barn is a bank barn, built into the side of a hill with entrances on both the lower and upper levels. A 10' x 30' open lean-to with hipped roof creates a porch area on the side of the timber frame barn. The shiplap pine siding, entry doors, overhead door, and cupola have weathered naturally, fitting in with Cape Cod’s coastal aesthetic. The surrounding area is beautifully landscaped, and with a view of the water, it’s a spot that can’t be beat. 

In the month of May, our skilled team of drivers delivered hundreds of sheds across New England. From Traditional Mini Barns to Grand Victorian Cape Garages, the team delivered sheds of all shapes, sizes, colors, and customizations. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.

On display at the Ellington Showcase is a new 18' x 24' Montauk Timber Frame Pool House. A versatile design with a clear span interior and high-class details sets the scene for the ultimate poolside retreat. This Montauk Pool House has prefinished 1x8 Western Red Cedar siding, a standing seam metal roof, and a NanaWall glass folding door. Andersen 400-Series windows and an Andersen A-Series full glass patio door let more light inside. The pool house’s rafter tails are exposed—an added detail to bring some of the timber framing to the exterior. The pool house ready to inspire your next timber frame project. Read on for a photo tour, and plan your visit to our showcase to see this pool house for yourself.
