This afternoon, we welcomed the family of Gunnery Sergeant Thomas J. Sullivan and the Mayor of Springfield, Domenic Sarno, to our manufacturing & design facility in Ellington, CT. Tommy gave his life while defending his country on Thursday July 16, 2015 during an attack on a Naval Reserve Center in Chattanooga, TN. The Skinner Family, owners of The Barn Yard & Great Country Timber Frames, have donated a timber frame pavilion to be built at Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Sullivan Park, a new park currently under construction in East Forest Park, Springfield, MA. Mayor Sarno and Tommy's family were able to view the pavilion being manufactured on The Barn Yard & Great Country Timber Frame's state of the art CNC machine.

We're proud to have the most skilled, professional, and experienced build crew around. They are all our employees, not subcontractors.

For the second year in a row, The Barn Yard was voted Best Place to Buy a Shed or Garage and Best Family Business by the readers of the North Central News.

Our previous brochures have been combined into one beautiful new catalog with more information and photos than ever before. We think you'll find it to be the best catalog yet. Pick one up at the Big E or our stores, or download online.

Our one-of-a-kind authentic Timber Frame Pavilions are a customer favorite. So, we decided to create Special Packages for the most popular styles & sizes. Each package includes a built price, a timber frame kit price, as well as pricing for a larger size.

A gazebo is a great gathering place. Think wedding ceremonies, picnics, gardens, and poolside uses, among many more. Featured here is a 12' Bell Top Gazebo in a neighborhood park in South Windsor, CT.

You know The Barn Yard for our quality buildings. Now, get to know our outdoor furniture: Adirondack chairs, dining sets, cafe tables, pub tables, benches, picnic tables, and more. Made of quality maintenance-free poly construction and available in many different styles, it's the perfect way to complete your outdoor living space.

It was a great day to celebrate 33 years of quality! We were excited to show off our new buildings on display, including the Victorian Carriage House with painted interior and southern yellow pine floor, and the new Bridger timber frame pavilion with optional rusty metal roof. We also served up a tasty lunch complete with deluxe chocolate-dipped ice cream sandwiches for dessert.
