The Barn Yard Blog

Our Open House is fast approaching. As we count down the days in anticipation, we can't wait to share our passion for timber framing with you. We thought we'd compile some of the most interesting photos of our timber frame facility & recent projects as a sort of "appetizer" if you will for the big event on January 20, 2018.

This timber frame kit consists of Eastern White Pine timbers with Douglas Fir key beams and Oak pegs. It's as authentic as you get: complex timber frame joinery, classic design, and fit-like-a-glove construction thanks to being precisely crafted on our CNC machine. This frame, along with our Saratoga frame, is available for shipping nationwide.

You're invited! We're hosting our third annual open house at Great Country Timber Frames on Saturday, January 20, 2018 from 9am - 1pm. Tour our advanced manufacturing facility and watch us cut a timber frame Carriage Barn on our CNC machine.

Merry Christmas to you & yours from The Barn Yard & Great Country Timber Frames family.

The interior of this bank barn in Pound Ridge, NY is spacious, beautiful, inspiring, _________. You fill in the rest.

Based on our Carriage Barn, this authentic post and beam bank barn located in Pound Ridge, NY is a masterpiece of design and construction. In this blog post, we'll focus on the exterior features of this unique bank barn.

Our timber framing crew recently raised the 22' x 22' Jackson Timber Frame Pavilion that we donated to the new park in Springfield that is named in Sullivan's memory.

Go inside this red post & beam barn located in Hartford County, CT amidst a stunning backdrop of fall colors. Featuring authentic mortise & tenon post & beam construction, a 12' enclosed lean-to, pine faced overhead doors, and a 22' x 36' upstairs floor space with 3' knee wall and 8' collar tie height.

It's barn tour time. Let's go inside this beautiful barn in Haddam Neck, CT. Sporting two pine faced overhead doors, a sliding barn door with authentic horseshoe track, transom windows, and a spacious and bright interior, this authentic post & beam barn was painted white to match the customer's home.

This post and beam barn is special inside and out. The interior of this barn was customized with one bent left open (no loft above) to allow room for a car lift. A John Deere tractor fits perfectly inside the enclosed lean-to. The exterior features vertical shiplap pine siding with rich wood stain, wood grain overhead doors with arched glass, and many windows (especially notable is our bow top window). It's a true post and beam barn garage.
