The Barn Yard Blog

See it here before it's on TV! Our freshest commercial yet, this one is all about the Big E. Chris takes you on a fun tour of our biggest and best display ever. It's all about the details. From the smallest shed to the largest custom garage, The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages has over 20 buildings at the Big E with the best prices of the year!

Check out these three commercials now playing on a TV near you. Featuring co-owners Everett IV and Chris Skinner...with their kids! Watch and share the commercials in this blog post, plus see behind the scenes pictures from the making of the commercials.

Friday September 12 is finally here and we couldn't be more excited! For the next 17 days, we will be at the Big E ready to show you why you need a shed, garage, or pavilion from The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages. Read on for 17 pictures of our best-yet display.

Our display at the Big E is just about ready for Friday's opening day. Just take a look at these photos and be amazed. It's our 30th year at the Big E and we intend to make it the best yet!

Barn Yard co-owner Chris Skinner looks forward all year to setting up for the Big E. It's his favorite time of year. Even though technically Assistant Vice President of the company, you'll still find Chris backing up the trucks and using the forklift to position the sheds just right.

With design inspired by the Moulton Barn in Grand Teton National Part, we built this motorcycle garage originally with open overhangs on either side. When the customer needed more room, we were again on site to enclose the overhangs.

As this year will be our 30th year at the Big E, we're looking through the archives and remembering years past. Let's take a quick look at The Barn Yard at the Big E, circa 2005, when we were joined by Kara Wolters.

We had a team building and company outing on Friday. It was great to enjoy everyone's company without the usual distractions of...well, work! We talked about the current state of The Barn Yard, thought of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, & threats, listened to a motivational speaker, and worked together on a creative cover story contest. Of course, we also took group photos. Here is the entire TBY team, all proud to be working for the brand!

With every post and beam barn we build in CT, MA, RI, and throughout New England, we provide architectural 3D renderings of the timber frame prior to construction. These 3D renderings are from a 36' x 48' Saratoga Post and Beam 1 1/2 Story Center Aisle Horse Barn Combination Garage to be built in Sutton, MA.

Things change over the years and we've certainly grown. Take these aerial photos for example. The first is Windsor Locks, circa 1996 (our best guess!) and the second is Ellington, circa 2014.
