The Barn Yard Blog

Here’s what spring looks like at The Barn Yard. With the best pricing on the best quality sheds, garages, barns, & pavilions, it’s a great season to get started.

We said it would be epic. And it was. Our 5th annual educational Open House drew nearly 1,000 people from across the nation.

When it comes to the art of timber framing, it’s all hands on deck... Including NBC CT LIVE host Taylor Kinzler! We are getting ready for our Open House and put Taylor to work assembling a truss & chiseling a beam pocket.

Your cabin getaway is here. Introducing the Timber Frame Trapper’s Cabin. Featuring authentic timber frame construction, a 5' open lean-to porch, traditional wood joinery with hardwood oak pegs, and much more. Watch in-person as we build this cabin on the shop floor during our Open House on January 28, 2023.

Get ready for the timber frame event of the year.

You’re invited! Join us for an educational open house at our timber frame manufacturing & design facility in Ellington, CT. Go on a full shop tour, watch the CNC machines in action, and learn how to assemble a timber frame. Plus enjoy coffee & homemade donuts. If you’re considering a post & beam project in 2023, this event will inspire you and answer your questions.

The photo contest is back! We are looking for buildings to feature on our new website. Send us a photo of your Barn Yard building and you could win a $150 VISA gift card! You could also be contacted by our staff photographer to professionally photograph your building.

The Barn Yard is on HGTV! We were so excited to collaborate with Jonathan Knight on the HGTV show Farmhouse Fixer. Jonathan decides that a Lenox Carriage Barn would be the best for his clients in Wayland, MA, so we work together to build a post & beam barn that his clients call “spectacular.” Watch the full episode on HGTV and get a behind-the-scenes look in this blog post.

Tour The Barn Yard’s precision built and fine-tuned display of the best sheds, garages, barns, and pavilions at the Big E, right inside Gate 9. High quality construction and exacting attention to detail will amaze you.

Tour this modern 34' x 36' Lenox Carriage Barn located near Boston, Massachusetts. With shiplap pine siding stained black, herringbone garage doors, and split sliding barn doors, the modern exterior of this bank barn hints at what’s inside.
