OUR SHEDS: SPACE FOR YOUR STUFF

Founded in September 2005 by Rob and Tara Powell, Carolina Yard Barns emerged from a vision to provide for high-quality sheds in the Raleigh and Durham area. With Rob’s extensive experience in the shed industry, we established ourselves as a trusted local provider after identifying a gap in the market for durable and affordable storage building.

Active in the community

We cherish our role in the Raleigh and Durham communities. Rob has actively coached many youth soccer teams, while Tara has led local Girl Scout troops. Our four children, who have grown up in this area, contribute to our business: our oldest daughter a graduate of Martin Community College, oversees sales for Carolina Yard Barns. Our son is a graduate of the Wilson Community College Fire Academy and is one of our top shed builders. Our middle daughter is a graduate of Meredith College and is a local realtor. Our youngest daughter is a graduate of North Carolina State University and is currently working on obtaining her PhD at the University of Georgia.

We are proud members of the Knightdale Chamber of Commerce, Garner Chamber of Commerce and the Raleigh-Wake County Home Builders Association. We are also accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating. Our projects pan various organizations including NC State University, Wake County Public Schools, The Town of Cary, The Town of Garner Police Department, State Employees Credit Union, the Town of Carrboro, The American Legion, Garner Community Garden, Interfaith Food Shuttle and numerous churches. We have also granted several wishes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
