Over the years, The Barn Yard has been featured many times on Better Connecticut with Scot Haney. Here are all of the Better Connecticut segments in one place. Enjoy, and keep watching Better Connecticut on TV, WFSB Channel 3!

It's projects like this when our love of western design really comes in handy. The customer had the idea to build a saloon off an existing barn. We thought, what a great idea and why not! From designing to engineering to building, The Barn Yard accomplished the task in classic western style, crafting a building located in New England that might as well be in Wyoming. Read on for more details and photos from the construction.

The Barn Yard's garages & sheds stand the test of time. Be it 80 mph winds or 40" of snow, our barns & sheds are engineered to withstand the elements. You can rest assured that when severe weather strikes, your stuff is safe. So don't wait another year to build that new garage or storage building. And don't waste any more time scraping off your car. Watch the latest commercials with Everett Skinner IV and Chris Skinner.

The 4 new pergolas at Arbor Park in Ellington CT were built by The Barn Yard...during the rain, no less! The new maintenance-free and long-lasting vinyl pergolas replace the old wooden pergolas previously at the park. Take a look next time you're at Arbor Park in Ellington!

You already know that The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages is unique. From our unparalleled offering of mini barns all the way up to mega barns, there's no one quite like us. But did you also know that we offer an exclusive 3D Design Service with every custom building project? Seeing 3D renderings of your building before it's built helps you fine-tune the design and make sure everything is just right.

This question often arises at this time of year. Why buy an in-stock building instead of ordering and building one? In this article, we hope to "shed" some light on the subject.

Sunday is the last day of the Big E and the last day of our Big E Sale, our biggest sale of the year. Don't wait for the winter to figure out where to store your stuff: now is the time to get a new shed or garage from The Barn Yard. Why The Barn Yard? Because our buildings are built better. They are built to withstand strong wind, rain, even 40" of snow. So stop by The Barn Yard at the Big E Gate 9 or any of our stores today before winter is here and it's too late! Ask your salesperson about special in-stock savings on inventory buildings ready to deliver fast.

We built the new Wine & Cheese Barn at the Big E inside Gate 9. So far, it's been a great success. From open to close, there's a line out the door to taste the wines, cheeses, and shop from local vendors. If you haven't visited yet, be sure to check it out when you're at the Big E! While you're sipping on wine and enjoying the cheese selection, glance around and admire the building you're standing in! It was our great pleasure to build the new Wine & Cheese Barn for the Big E. Cheers.
