Tiki Bar Plans

Summer is a great time to build a outdoor tiki bar.
This site appears to have a complete plan for building tiki bars and complete tiki hut style roofs. While we’re not sure how the thatch holds up in a srtong wind or for snow prone areas of the country, we’ll let you decide for yourself of a tiki bar is right for your area.

This is an example of one of our members’ home bar project as it progresses from dark, dank, wasted basement space to a warm & inviting home bar that will rival any corner bar or tavern. This particular member had some help from a local contractor, along with plans and design ideas found at barplan.com.

His unique Northoods Theme and use of field stone edged him out
over TONS of other great project entries. It was a close race between
his bar and at least two dozen other excellent projects.

Bob’s craftsmanship and creativity along with excellent overall
appearance of the fiinished project stood out as one of the best.
Photo composition also earned Robert the prize by capturing the entire
bar scene floor to ceiling and left to right and from four different angles.   

Bob tells us, “The bar is the focal point of our walk out basement, in a country setting but within 60 minutes of downtown Chicago. First time ever woodworkin project attempted.   In remodeling the entire basement ( again first time ), our motto was ‘everything twice’ and we were ok with that as long as we were learning and having fun ( and not making to many costly mistakes ). The L-Shaped bar plan was the starting point and then improvised. 
Enjoyed the project and enjoying the results even more.”
Bob also added “I defintely amazed (at learning of winning), especially if you could have seen our struggles at the onset. Everyone involved in this creation appreciates your support!”
Thanks, Bob W.

Thank YOU Bob & Congratulations!

Bar of the Month – December 2007
Move over men, this beautifully completed bar project was constructed by one of our women members.
Peggy S. of Beachwood, OH built this bar by combining the Bar Back project EBBP-06 with the L-shaped Monster Wet Bar Project EHBP-04 topping it off with an overhead lighting unit, which you can find design ideas for in the gallery area. Great Job Peggy & Happy New Year to All!

A custom corner cove houses an LCD TV for viewing your favorite movies and sporting events. Being Packer Fans, we particularly like the green and gold paint job, although a closer examination of the decor indicates a Ravens fan, but regardless, another excellent constrcution job!
