The Barn Yard Blog

You're invited! We're hosting our fourth annual open house at Great Country Timber Frames on Saturday, January 19, 2019 from 9am - 12pm. Tour our advanced manufacturing facility and watch us cut a timber frame Carriage Barn on our CNC machine.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

This 24' x 32' Custom Pool House, with timber frame accents & open lean-to overhang, is the stunning centerpiece of a backyard paradise in Tolland, CT. And that's just the outside. Wait until you see the inside.

Without a doubt one of our favorite projects of the year, this 2,500 sq. ft. Party Barn has our signature style in every detail.

This particular 12' x 24' Classic Cape Garage in Ellington, CT has clay Duratemp siding, white trim, 30x36 6/6 windows, a 9' x 7' overhead door, and more.

Rustic refined. With pine siding & natural stain, this Victorian Cape Garage is the envy of the neighborhood.

This Grand Victorian Cape Garage features a 6' timber frame porch, including a 14' timber truss with arched bottom chord, two posts, and composite decking.

The ultimate poolside pavilion with full kitchen and fireplace.

Located on a working farm in Kensington, CT, this Carriage Barn is right at home. Just like barns built in the 1800s, this one has all the same features, like sliding barn doors, authentic strap hinges, sash windows, and vertical pine siding with classic barn red paint. The true beauty of this barn, however, is on the inside, with authentic timber framing throughout, again like its 1800s inspiration.

Copper gutters? Check. That's The Barn Yard style. Copper gutters can add a lot to the overall look of your Barn Yard building. Here are a few notable examples.
