From Then to Now: Catalogs & Logos

Plenty has changed since 1984, and our catalogs are no exception. We found a copy of the first catalog we offered. A two-page flyer, this first catalog showcased five sheds and a single bay garage on the inside. Today, it’s 136 pages, featuring a multitude of post and beam structures, garages, pavilions, and sheds. Check out these pictures to see how much has changed in 40 years.

From Then to Now: Commercials

We took a look through the archives during our 40th Anniversary, and found some old commercials that aired in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Check them out below!

Why Choose a Shed from The Barn Yard?

When you decide it’s time to purchase a storage shed, it’s important to choose a company you can trust to provide quality structures that last a lifetime. At The Barn Yard, we’ve been committed to providing the best quality sheds and single bay garages since 1984. We have built a strong reputation, having delivered thousands of sheds to countless customers across New England. This commitment to quality sets us apart, evident in our staff, our showcases, and our product.

From Then to Now: Aerial Views

Since 1984, we’ve been serving the Connecticut and New England area with quality sheds that will last a lifetime. What started in a small office across from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks has turned into thousands of sheds delivered across New England, two showcase locations in Ellington and Bethel, a 26,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, and an expansion into custom garages, post and beam barns, timber frame pavilions, and custom timber frame structures. Reflecting on our 40 years in business, we took a look through our archives and found some aerial shots of our first location in Windsor Locks. Our Windsor Locks location closed in 2015, when we constructed our manufacturing facility and relocated our main operations to Ellington. Compared with aerial shots of our Ellington Location taken in May 2024, we’ve come a long way.
