We are new to AR, so there is uncertainty and frequently timing issues. AR is our home away from home. We needed an out building on short notice. Outback Barn stepped up, going above & beyond. We absolutely appreciate!! We're aligning with them for another upcoming project, they have our confidence & respect as a business ally. Excellent experience provided by Outback Barn's excellent services. Excellent quality of workmanship and materials of their items available for purchase too. Combined with friendly, knowledgeable & intelligent leadership and staffing... set the bar high. No need to even consider doing business elsewhere. They treat you as a long term client, rather than a short term Customer. Thanks for all, so greatly appreciated!! read more

These are issues I have with "Outback". 1)The prices are NOT on the buildings at the new locations. 2)They DO NOT return phone calls about specific buildings. 3)They DO beat up your wallet mercilessly: Cost of the building + $350 delivery and setup fee (And YOU have to provide the dunnage wood to mount the building on) + very high interest rate + very long time to pay it off. I supposedly got a "used" one on sale for $2700- had I followed their program to pay it off it would have been over $4600!! So, go to your bank or save your cash- and pay a "mere" 18% on your credit card rather than the 35%+ they charge. read more

After searching all over arkansas for a quality portable building I purchased my building from Jr the owner of The Outback Barn in early March of 2016. He seemed like a real nice man and took great care to note each and every detail I wanted in the building because he knew I was planning on turning it into a cabin to live in. He stated that they have their best carpenter build these cabin type buildings. He gave me his sons number to contact with any questions or changes ( his son runs the location that builds the larger buildings ). I waited a week and asked for progress pictures which he promptly sent. He contacted me a few days later to schedule delivery. The delivery guy showed up with the building and done a great job setting everything up. While he was working I noticed a few things that were messed up and not done correctly. I told him and we agreed that if I couldn't fix them without creating further problems they'd send someone out. I am disabled with a bad back and after staying up all day with the delivery I left when he did. The next morning I really started looking over the building and quickly started noticing other little things that weren't done correct. Well, after I got done I was very disgusted... This was a Saturday evening so I thought about it and sent Jr an email listing everything I had found that wasn't right. He replied saying his son was sending someone out to fix everything. They showed up and fixed what they could however some things couldn't be fixed unless the building were completely rebuilt. The things I'm referring to that had to be fixed were as follows: porch railings severely unlevel, doors wouldn't shut/stay shut due to the frame being installed a half inch to high, one end was missing a gable vent, the stain was barely applied in various locations all throughout the exterior, the porch was completely missing the 10 decorative braces, nails were sticking out everywhere along the edge of the walls/all throughout the floor, sheets of siding were just nailed at the top and bottom ( you could run your hand behind the wall studs ). That was what all was fixed after delivery. What wasn't fixed was NO foam sealant was used anywhere in the building but states on their website ALL buildings are foam sealed to keep bugs out, a few decking boards were missing under the ridge vent, but here's what really upset me... Their buildings aren't sized as one would think. They measure from the widest point. My building was purchased by the square foot 12x40 I watched him figure the price this way. I was under the impression it would measure 12' outside corner to corner however this measurement is 11'6". They measure eave to eave. So my 12' wide building is 10'9" inside stud to stud. This may not seem like much but it adds up considerably when your building a tiny home. After discovering this I went back to the lot and measured other buildings ( 12' & 14' ) and all their buildings appear to be built this way. I done some research and found online where some companies do this to cut costs and when it's 12' or less at its widest point they aren't required to have pilot cars or special permits for delivery. If you decide to purchase from The Outback Barn be sure to ask about the building WIDTH! You're paying for square footage that you will NOT receive! Also ask if the building quality you see on the lot will be the same that you receive! I would like to add if Outback Barns reads this if you ran your business as religiously as you act you should tell future customers this information up front. Two other people in my family are interested in buying buildings just like mine ( however they'll be going elsewhere ). I am satisfied now even tho I had to fix some of the things MYSELF and would like to add that i was never contacted to see if I was happy after they came out and fixed everything. I hope this helps future customers ask these much needed questions before buying from The Outback Barn in Mena Ar! read more
