I built a Tiki Bar - Just Showing Off My Handywork

[Tidybuoy]

I built a Tiki Bar. It's primitive but will work for me. I'm having a car club luau party next week and so I've been preparing. I followed someone on YouTube for my basic design but modified along the way. It turns out it was pretty easy to build once I got started. Luckily, most of my lumber was left over from a fence I previously built so not too much expense this time. I bought the thatch on Amazon.

My Finished Project. I will lightly sand and seal tonight.

Doesn't look primitive to me, it looks sturdy and well built. Cute too!

Super cool!

[MMARSH]

What time are drinks?

[LWJ]

That is fantastic!

[Bill Douglas]

I really like it. In fact I REALLY LIKE IT.

And not too much expense this time is a good game plan. It leaves more money for alcohol LOL

[HobieMarty]

Looks good!!! I'll take two pina coladas, one for each hand...

I've chuckled about this comment all day.

"Well of course it's primitive, it's a TIKI bar"

What you really need to do it go to harbor freight, get yourself a predator engine, and do a Maxwell Smart (Tiki) "Deskmobile" conversion with this sucker. Imagine cruising the neighborhood in that badboy!





Its' got the right dimensions. Build thread mandatory.

Nice! Tiki bars are the best.


Here's another idea, I see this around town every summer. If you can't go the party, he'll bring the party to you.
Gas flame and dried grass roof. Seems like a pretty good idea.

Now you just need some mood lighting....

No stories. My brother gave those to me - they were his sons from many years ago. I need to add more "swag" against the back wall but that may take time.

That looks really stout. Nice work!
