Stone Front – Modifications needed?

[rgf207]

Hi. I’m getting ready to build a L-shape keg bar and saw a photo of a stone front that I would like to incorporate in my build. Here’s the link to the pic. https://www.barplan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=850&pid=7910#top_display_media

Curious if anyone knows if there is any modifications that need to be done to do this?

Looks like that bar is using an artificial stone product, so no, all you need is bare wood and the proper adhesive. Check with your local home center. As I recall that stuff (stone) ain’t particularly cheap.

Here is a very similar product – 24″ x 48″ is about $80

Comes in many colors. You will also need corner pieces shown under “accessories” on that page.

I did that to the front of my bar, and a photo is attached. It’s a veneer stone product, approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick. I used stone mortar to set them and instead of plywood, I used a piece of hardy board for that area. If I recall correctly, I did have to “set back” the hardy board face about an inch or so to accomodate the thickness of the stone. I also used the stone on the lolly columns I covered in drywall.

Thanks for the info. The bar you made looks good with the stone. i also liked the column idea of adding the stone to that. i have column myself and may need to do that.
