The Barn Yard Blog

We’re thrilled to welcome Cole Hauser to The Barn Yard family, and we couldn’t imagine a better fit for our brand. Within this new partnership, Hauser will showcase our signature custom-built timber frame barns in a series of campaigns that highlight their versatility and appeal. The first campaign was filmed locally at the Bradway & Bald Hill barns. Cole’s natural authenticity and deep appreciation for the good things in life came through on screen—check out these photos from filming for the proof.

New to our lineup of timber frame pavilions are two new designs: the Sonoma and the Telluride. These two pavilions, featuring unique designs and authentic post & beam construction, are available fully built in New England, and in kit form nationwide. Read on for details and more photos of these two timber frame pavilions.

Without further ado, here are the winners of our 2024 Photo Contest.

This 30' x 36' Plymouth Carriage Barn is often filled with music. While the first floor has three overhead doors for parking, the spacious second floor is home to drums, guitars, keyboards, and amps. Soundproofing panels along the ceiling, plus bright seating areas and two reverse gable dormers for added space, make this loft ideal for band practice. Let’s take a closer look at this remarkable timber frame barn. 

Just in time for the holiday season, we are now offering 2025 calendars and camo trucker hats. Read on to learn more about these two new offerings. 

Barns have been at the forefront of history since the early years of America. And legendary actor Cole Hauser has been in some of the most extraordinary barns in the country. When he decided it was time for one of his own, Cole knew he wanted to work with a company dedicated to quality and passionate about the craft, raising barns that look towards the future while paying homage to a storied past. He knew he could trust The Barn Yard to build his ideal barn. Introducing Cole Hauser × The Barn Yard.

Surrounded by nature, and met on one end with a stone waterfall, this 20' x 75' Custom Timber Frame pergola is simply stunning. Douglas fir timbers form the posts, beams, rafters, and braces of the structure. Details, like scrolled ends and arched braces, add visual interest. A walk through the pergola showcases the intricate craftsmanship, from the base of the posts to the tops of the rafters. And, accented by gardens, two stone waterfalls, and a miniature pond, you’ll feel right at home. Let’s take a closer look.

Immaculate details, authentic post & beam construction, and rustic design combine to create a place for family and friends to enjoy a day by the pool. This 20' x 32' Montauk Timber Frame Pool House has reclaimed barn board siding, sliding barn doors, and a Teton Pavilion inspired entry portico. Inside, a full kitchen, bathroom, and seating area await. Hosting guests for food and drinks by the pool is a breeze with the Montauk. Read on for a photo tour. 

A bank barn is characterized by ground level entrances on each floor. We commonly see bank barns built into the sides of hills, like this barn here. A 24' x 32' Plymouth Carriage Barn serves several uses on this property, thanks to its placement on a hill. The first floor has two overhead doors, making it the ideal garage, and upstairs, the barn is used as a pool house, with French doors leading to the backyard. Let’s take a closer look.

Inspired by Daryl’s House—a restaurant and live music club belonging to Daryl Hall of the legendary Hall & Oates—this 1,900 sq. ft. custom timber frame barn is a place for performing and recording music. The 22' x 24' main barn, with soaring ceilings and clear span timber trusses, is a studio and stage in one. Attached is a 24' x 28' two-story section, with a two-bay garage on the first floor and a loft with entertainment on the second floor. These two sections of the barn are joined by two entry doors on the first floor and a Juliet balcony up above. This barn truly has it all. Read on for a full photo tour.
