Outdoor Bar
Bottle Opener Hack
When it comes to serving drinks in style, an outdoor bar is the perfect companion to any deck, patio, or porch.
This project features storage below the counter that includes adjustable shelving and accommodates a 40-gallon cooler. The staggered counter height is ideal for both making drinks and serving guests. The outside cladding of this piece is built from decking boards that come with a beautiful milled edge for a finished look.
Once the main frame is built, the countertops are installed and the shelving pieces are placed within. In a few short hours, your bar will be ready for years of outdoor enjoyment.
