Our sister company, Great Country Timber Frames, was approached by CPTV (PBS) to be featured on their Made in Connecticut TV Series. CPTV came to Great Country Timber Frames' Ellington, CT facility to interview key team members and capture the CNC machine in action. The camera crew also came to a raising day in Ridgefield, CT.

The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages is excited to announce that we have a full page ad in the May 2016 issue of Boston Magazine! The same ad will also be in the upcoming issue of Boston Home Summer.

Dale is another valued member of our sales team. An Ellington native, he has worked at The Barn Yard for 10 years.

Jerry has worked at The Barn Yard for nearly 10 years. One of Jerry's favorite things about working here is the satisfaction he gets in truly helping people with their projects, from small sheds to complete barns/garages/workshops.

At The Barn Yard, we believe that having a welcoming, knowledgeable, and trustworthy sales team makes all the difference. Sales Manager Wade Mattesen says the sales team strives to go above and beyond.

The Barn Yard recently built this 30' x 50' Timber Frame Pavilion on the West Side Campus of Western Connecticut State University. Elements of powder-coated steel are used together with precise wood joinery to connect the timbers on the impressive pavilion.

Great Country Timber Frames hosts record-setting open house event on Saturday with over 500 people in attendance at new facility in Ellington, CT.

We were honored to be joined by Lindy Lee Gold, Senior Development Specialist from the CT Department of Economic & Community Development and Lori L. Spielman, First Selectman from the Town of Ellington, for our ribbon cutting this afternoon at Great Country Timber Frames. Everett IV, Chris, and Everett Skinner III cut the ribbon and hosted the event for members of the media, Chamber of Commerce, and government officials.

We appreciate the hard work & dedication of all the vendors & contractors we work with. For without their help, Great Country Timber Frames would still be a dream instead of the reality it is today. Accordingly, we welcomed our vendors & contractors to the new Manufacturing & Design Facility at Great Country Timber Frames yesterday afternoon for a private showing prior to the big open house on Saturday.

Building for the Future. Big Dreams in a Small Town.
