INTRODUCTION

I have found many people (such as myself) desire to have a tropical, relaxing atmosphere right in

their own backyards. You can create this atmosphere yourself with this do-it-yourself guide for building

your own tiki bar!

This do-it-yourself tiki bar building guide will give you all the detailed information you need to

build a 8 ft. by 4 ft. tiki bar shown in the picture on the front cover. This bar includes 2 sets of cabinets,

outlets, roof and upper and lower bar tops. This bar sells at retail for well over $5,000 but you can build

your own for under $700, if you live in an area where palm leaves are readily available. The total

material cost for your tiki bar is dependent upon the availability of materials in your area. This is NOT a

cheap slap-together do-it-yourself bar that will blow over when you sneeze. You will get many years of

use out of this bar if you follow the directions and recommendations carefully.

I highly suggest you read through all of the directions ﬁrst before attempting to build your bar to

give yourself a better understanding of the process and the materials.

All poles used should be either red or white cedar or cypress wood. I do not recommend pressure

treated poles due to the chemicals in the wood. The bottom plate of the frame should always be pressure

treated due to ground contact. The cedar lumber that will be used to wrap the frame of the bar can also

be substituted. You can use pine, bamboo reed (plywood backing is needed), bamboo plywood, T-111, or

any other material you feel will enhance the look of your bar. Just remember, it will need to be sealed for

outdoor use. The dimensions I talk about in this book for the bar are 8' x 4'. Some of the pictures used

for demonstration may be from other bars or huts I have built.

All materials listed should get you to completion, but that also depends on how many times you

may make a mistake or you change the dimensions. You can use this book as a guide and build your bar

to any size you want.

Electric is optional for your bar. If you do want electrical outlets installed, I will discuss where

to install the electrical boxes but I will not tell you how to wire the switches and outlets due to the fact

that I am NOT an electrician. I strongly suggest that if you are choosing to put in electric and you do not

know what you are doing, call an electrician to wire your bar as soon as the framing is completed and

before you put the cedar around it. If you are installing a ceiling fan in the roof of the bar, you will need

to have your electrician run a wire from the switch and up the support post coming out of the bar frame.
