The Barn Yard Blog

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.
