Garden Bar

Having a large backyard leaves many homeowners with more questions than answers. Most people come up with all types of ideas of what they could do with the backyard, but most ideas often lead up to constructing something that will require regulatory approvals. Whilst such back garden structures are good, they can also be quite costly to put up.

The idea of a garden bar offers the best option for those with large and small spaces in their backyard. The home garden bar is an addition to the outdoor garden that does not take much space but does improve the look and feel of the home. The bar is also simple to construct and requires little regulatory approvals as compared to other structures.

To understand what goes into constructing a garden storage bar for your family, keep on reading as we look at the details of a Tiki bar and how these structures can be purchased at Garden Room Studio.

What Are Garden Bars?

A garden bar is a modern space created outside the main house for stocking with drinks. A garden pub or bar resembles a commercial bar in many ways, except that it is on small scale and is built in the garden space. A garden bar has shelves, a seating area, and other items necessary for a bar.

There are various categories of garden bars as follows:

  • Open garden bars are simple structures without doors
  • Gazebo garden bars are simply attained by converting a gazebo into a drinking area
  • Backyard Tiki bar
  • Roof overhang bars
  • Deck bar

There are so many structures that can easily be converted into a garden pub. The type of garden bar used depends on the weather conditions, finance options, the design team preferences, and the existing building design. For those who live in hot areas that rarely see any rain, a simple gazebo bar would work.

Types of Home Bar Buildings

Whilst garden bars are the most popular among modern homeowners, there are other types of bars that can be developed at home. The location where the pub is situated can be determined by the available space and details needed by the family. Most homeowners situate the bar at a location where guests can feel comfortable.

Here are some of the home buildings and spaces that can be converted into a bar:

  • Kitchen Extensions: Kitchen extensions are commonly used since they take less time to reconstruct as compared to an outdoor garden structure.
  • Double or Multiple Storey Extensions: Multiple storey extensions are also popular among bar lovers. They can be converted into a bar area with minimal investment.
  • Garage Conversions: The garage is the number one target for most people when creating a home bar. It is easy to equip with bar stools since it has enough space.
  • Loft Conversions: The loft may not be one of the best options, but it works well for certain bar models. It is only viable on buildings with a high roof.
  • Basement Conversions: The basement on some buildings has sufficient space to allow for the construction of a sidebar.
  • Outbuilding: The outbuildings include garden pub options such as gazebos, log cabins, and other outdoor structures.

Whilst all these buildings can be converted into a bar, they have diverse specifications. For instance, the basement needs a lot of work in terms of lighting and decoration to get it back to order.

Requirements CO UK: Hatches Roof Overhang

Most homeowners rely on the roof overhand to design their garden bars. Since it is a good way of cutting construction costs for the bar, it may easily fall outside the real requirements of the UK government. The government specifies that the building style applied to all homes should not give room for an overhang exceeding 2.5 metres.

If a bar is to be constructed directly on the deck, chances are that the building design would be affected. This may also require acquiring legal permits from the local government specifying that the house is undergoing an update.

What to Put in a Garden Bar?

It is one thing to build a garden bar and an entirely different story to make it functional. Different garden bars have different looks and appeals. The experience of a garden bar mainly depends on the venue, design, style, and services offered. What can be done with a garden bar also depends on the available finances.

Some ideas for garden bars include:

  • Putting up garden bar signs can be quite entertaining to daily members and guests. Such signs also add fun to the evening during the chilly summer nights.
  • The outdoor bar footrest is an important addition to the outdoor space. It is a simple DIY project that can help guests feel comfortable during parties.
  • Putting up beer mirrors will not only make the pub attractive but will also help bring out the style of the bar.
  • Every bar must have drinks on tap to make it look as real as possible. The drinks make it easier to make orders in case there’s a party.

The other items of importance that should be added to the outdoor bar include keg stools, which provide the best sitting options, and a dartboard. Dartboards and other games provide the best entertainment for a garden pub. It is also advisable for the bar to have a small area that serves as the information desk, where guests can look for guidance.

What Can I Use For a Bar Top?

There are many categories of outdoor bars and each option has its unique style. Some models require a slanting roof whilst others do not even have one. Before building a garden bar, it’s important to do research to find more information on the available models, the required products for the construction. When it comes to roofing needs, there are several products to consider.

Home roofing options for the garden pub include:

  • Aluminum: This is the most trusted option since it can beat any weather and does not rust easily.
  • Granite: Granite roofs are also all-weather and provide colourful patterns for the roof.
  • Stainless Steel: Steel functions well just like the aluminum roof but it much stronger. Steel doors are also a good option.
  • Wood: Whilst wood may work, it needs to be well prepared with a wood preserver for the best outcome.

Since there are various categories of garden pubs, they all need to be well roofed for extreme weather events. More home users are turning to aluminum because it is pocket-friendly and durable. For aesthetic and personal preferences, steel and, granite roofs are also popular.

7 FAQs: About Our Outdoor Garden Bars

Due to COVID 19, more homeowners have been playing around with the idea of home garden pubs. Whilst many homeowners have already managed to build some kind of a home pub, many are still trying to figure out what a garden bar really means. Many questions are about the garden pub product list, menu options, drink categories, and other factors. Here are seven of the most frequently asked questions about our best garden bars:

Many items are necessary to convert any living space into a bar. The main essentials include shelves, countertops, bar-style stools, and the beer itself. Glasses and serving tools are also important in a bar. Also, consider dartboard and other gaming options. All these items are meant to add value to the garden bar and make it habitable.

A garden pub can either be made through a DIY process or purchased. A full garden pub kit comes with pre-fabricated parts that only have to be put together. On the other hand, construction from scratch will require the collection of material, drawing a plan, and employing experts to get the job done.

There are many categories of colours to choose from. In most cases, the colour of choice is inspired by the artificial lighting within the pub. Dark colours are the best for those who wish to maintain a cool mood. If the aim is to bring in a fun atmosphere, orange and bright colours can be used.

Materials used for a bar top should be durable but also aesthetically appealing. Aluminum, steel, and timber are among the top three. Those who love the country style of homes prefer timber; however, aluminum is much stronger and rust-resistant, making it a more reliable option.

Whilst timber can be used on bar roofs, not all types of timber can work. Most bar top kits come in strong wood categories such as cherry, maple, and oak. The hardwood options here guarantee the durability of the bar top.

The overhang mostly depends on the design of the bar and the type of roof. Some bars are built in regions where the sun gets too hot and lasts long. In such areas, more cover is needed. In the UK, an overhang of 25 to 30 cm is recommended.

Some categories of bar stools are highly lifted up and do not offer legroom issues. For stools where the customer has to face the wall, furniture experts recommend legroom of about 0.381 metres (15 inches). With a garden bar, it is okay to play around with the available space. When dealing with such a small space it’s advisable to give up a few inches of legroom for other purposes.

Most of the questions above are created to the details of how a garden bar should look like. The questions address the categories of bar available, the roofing style, interior decor, and other aspects. Most importantly, they look at regulatory factors that may affect the delivery time for the bar.
