Two DIY Network series, Barnwood Builders and Building Off the Grid, have delivered strong performances for the network in US ratings for February.

Since its premiere on Sunday 11 February, Barnwood Builders, a series that follows master craftsman Mark Bowe and his West Virginia crew as they dismantle centuries-old barns and cabins and reuse the wood to build stunning modern homes, grew its year-over-year impressions by 28% among viewers aged 25-54.

A new episode that aired on Sunday 25 February grew impressions in the timeslot by 47% among that demographic, and 97% among male viewers aged 25-54. That made it the highest-rated premiere episode of Barnwood Builders of all time for the network.

Another hit, Building Off the Grid, a series that follows adventurous families who build their own homes in the wilderness and live without the support of local utilities, delivered a 22% increase in impressions among viewers aged 25-54 over the prime average.
