These double-bay garages are on display at The Barn Yard’s Ellington Showcase. Spacious, durable, practical, and high-quality, both of these garages will fit in well with your home. Both the Classic Craftsman Garage and the Classic Vintage Garage have 9' x 7' overhead doors leading to two spacious bays, each with a 4' x 12' loft and our Super Floor system. But, these two garages have some distinct differences that make them unique.

One of the most popular shed series at The Barn Yard is the Classic Series.

Let’s take a photo tour of these three Grand Victorians.
Timber Framing the Airplane Hangar: Part Two
In January, we completed the landmark raising of a 76' x 105' timber airplane hangar. Over 77,000 board feet of Douglas Fir timbers were raised and joined with hardwood oak pegs. This raising was a significant feat for The Barn Yard. Since then, our crew has continued to work diligently to assemble the weather-tight shell, install siding, windows, and the 65' hydraulic tilt-up door. Let’s take a look at some recent photos.
