A lot's changed at our New Manufacturing & Design Facility since our last blog post. The exterior of the building is now complete and the landscaping is going in. Inside, the drywall is up and timber frame accents are in place.

When shopping for a storage shed, you want a building that serve you well into the future. The shed should have quality craftsmanship, plus-just as importantly-feature a timeless style. Look no further than our Classic Series sheds & garages. Because a Classic is always in style.

When The Barn Yard was called to design and build a Carriage Barn in Colebrook CT, we were faced with an interesting challenge. On the homeowner's property are several 1800s period post & beam barns. In addition, the property is in a historic district. Therefore, it was essential that the new barn compliment the old ones, in both the construction style (post & beam) and exterior features.

When Rose & Chris wanted to add a garage to their home in Lunenburg, MA, they remembered seeing The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages at the Big E. They fell in love with The Barn Yard's barn-style garages. They knew The Barn Yard could design, engineer, and build a barn garage that perfectly complimented the main residence. And that's exactly what we did.

We build barn garages every day. In fact, barn-like garages are The Barn Yard's signature look. Why build a standard garage when you can bring rustic charm to your new building. Find many pictures of barn garages to inspire you in this blog post.

Radiant in floor heating was selected as the best way to efficiently heat the new 12,614 manufacturing & design facility. Rather than heating the entire air space, a radiant floor system heats just the floor space people actually use. Hany Mechanical of Ellington, CT was on the job this week installing the heating system.

31 years of quality...now that's a reason to celebrate! Thanks to everyone who visited to celebrate 31 years with us today! It's hard to believe it's already been over 30 years since Everett Skinner started The Barn Yard, back when his son Jr. was only one year old.

Introducing the post and beam shed, done right. With the same precision joinery, same authenticity, same finished planed surface, same windows, same dormer options, and same heavy timber roof rafters as our Carriage Barn, this is the whole package, in a smaller package.
