The Barn Yard Blog

You already know that The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages is unique. From our unparalleled offering of mini barns all the way up to mega barns, there's no one quite like us. But did you also know that we offer an exclusive 3D Design Service with every custom building project? Seeing 3D renderings of your building before it's built helps you fine-tune the design and make sure everything is just right.

This question often arises at this time of year. Why buy an in-stock building instead of ordering and building one? In this article, we hope to "shed" some light on the subject.

Sunday is the last day of the Big E and the last day of our Big E Sale, our biggest sale of the year. Don't wait for the winter to figure out where to store your stuff: now is the time to get a new shed or garage from The Barn Yard. Why The Barn Yard? Because our buildings are built better. They are built to withstand strong wind, rain, even 40" of snow. So stop by The Barn Yard at the Big E Gate 9 or any of our stores today before winter is here and it's too late! Ask your salesperson about special in-stock savings on inventory buildings ready to deliver fast.

We built the new Wine & Cheese Barn at the Big E inside Gate 9. So far, it's been a great success. From open to close, there's a line out the door to taste the wines, cheeses, and shop from local vendors. If you haven't visited yet, be sure to check it out when you're at the Big E! While you're sipping on wine and enjoying the cheese selection, glance around and admire the building you're standing in! It was our great pleasure to build the new Wine & Cheese Barn for the Big E. Cheers.

We've been busy this summer, to say the least. Our brochures are refreshed for the Fall with over 80% new photos. They will arrive at the Big E this weekend but you can view the new brochures online now.

The Grand Opening of our Bethel Showcase Location on September 7 was a huge success. Cars filled up the parking lot across the street at Hollandia Nurseries (where they kindly allowed our customers to park), Scot Haney had a line of 30 people for 2 hours, and we met so many new faces and introduced them to our products. We're proud to be a part of Bethel. The Grand Opening is the beginning of something great!

We gathered on the evening of Friday September 6 to celebrate with family, close friends, and associates.

The Barn Yard and Great Country Garages is a family business. Pictured is owner Everett Skinner, Sr. and his sons Everett Jr. and Chris standing proudly at their new Bethel Showcase Location, on the afternoon of September 4.
