Having a backyard bar is a great way to create a fun and relaxing outdoor space for entertaining friends and family.
– Shady spot for daytime comfort – On a patio or deck – Near a fence or wall for wind protection – Close to the kitchen for easy access – Near the pool for a resort-like feel – Not too far from the house – Well-lit with outdoor lighting
– Bar cart or counter – Wicker Serving Tray – Glass Pitcher – Glass Drink Dispenser – Table Lamp – Shade or umbrella – Cutlery
– Add a roof, canopy or pergola – Use waterproof covers – Secure lightweight items in windy areas – Choose weather-resistant materials – Add outdoor curtains or roll-up shades
Wooden pallets are cheap or even free and can easily be turned into a rustic and stylish bar counter.
An old dresser, bookshelf, or even a kitchen cart can be transformed into a unique and functional backyard bar.
Instead of buying expensive outdoor lights, you can turn mason jars, tin cans, or old glass bottles into decorative lanterns.
If you don’t want to build a permanent bar, a folding table with bar stools or outdoor chairs can do the job.
