Building My Outdoor Bar

These aren't the best pictures....
I built my outdoor bar mainly because someone gave me a bunch of used lumber. :)
I have never built a bar before and am not sure how they are supposed to be built...but this is how I did mine.

I started by building the frame out of 2x4s and added castors to the bottom so it would be easy for me to move around.



I coated everything with a weather sealant.....


I covered the frame with exterior grade plywood, added a cement backerboard top. Covered the wood with more weather sealant....

I covered the front and sides with house siding. I could only find it in grey, so I painted it with a light brown coat of paint, then used a maple stain to make it darker.

Tiled the top...

Added the trim board on the edges and seams...

I covered the whole bar with a marine varnish....

The bar is 8'x5'....it sits outside year round.

I need to take pictures of the back. I added sliding doors to access the inside of the bar in the back. I've gotten a lot of use out of this thing and it's handling the weather great!

Ok...not everything went smooth. :)

After building the bar in my shop and rolling it out onto the gravel driveway, it wouldn't budge.

It was too heavy for me to roll down the gravel driveway to my patio. The castors sank in the gravel.

I had to place a piece of plywood in front of it, roll it up onto the plywood...then place a second sheet of plywood in front of it and roll it onto that.

Then repeated with the two sheets of plywood until I reached the patio.

Had to stop half way there for a break. :)
