How to build a tiki bar

I am planning on building a small tiki bar (about 5' long) with a thatch roof, on casters so I can move it around, to use outdoors. Does anyone have plans or a link to a website where I can view plans. I plan on buying the materials this week and building it over the weekend. Any help, suggestions or pictures of your bars would be helpful. Thank you.

I also have made plans on making a tiki bar. I came up with a simple and I mean simple design. I searched ebay for some ideas and also searched with yahoo, you can also go to the tailgating pic on this site for some ideas. I came up with some pretty good ideas. There was a lot of useful supplies on e-bay. The best thing for me was my good friend is a carpenter and agreed to help me. Good Luck... :D

Funny you should mention this. I was surfing around last night looking for plans to build a tiki bar. I found this site, where the guy will sell you designs ($7.50) so you can build your own.

I like the fact that these plans allow for the bar to fold up, so it would be great for the deck or tailgating.

Tiki forum

Beware: There are some *very* anti-Buffett pholks there, but most are pretty kewl people. There are some *amazing* artists that frequent the "Creating Tiki" portion of the forum.

My roommates and I actually are building one in our apartment, we didn't have any plans, just went to home depot...its amazingly sturdy and looks really nice too. I can send pics if someone wants. I kind of took a few as it was being built, but it could give an idea.

adam if you go to photo's. Then to tailgateing pictures. Then go back acouple of pages we builded a bar for the tiki tour, and there are pictures of the bar there. It was easy to build. It only took us one night.

Myself and santa have made this bar. Mine looks a little different but I use it all the time.
