Can you give me the dimensions for the roof. The lengths of the 1’ by 2’s

[@luvurpassion]

@@rosemarietucciarone6327 Sure! It's 3'x6' on each side. So, you will need 5 pieces of 6', and 10 pieces of 3' long 1'x2' for the whole roof. Hope that helps!

[@William1987GTA1]

Thank you for sharing. I like how you didn't remove some of the things that went wrong. Every project has it's hangups. Also nice to see a father bonding with his son. That's the most important project.

[@JuanHernandez-oh1ft]

Thank you so much brother my son and I will be building one just like yours nice and easy thanks for your video God Bless

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck!

[@Haasthefox]

I wish every diy video followed this format

[@-_.._._--_.-.-_-_-_-...-.-]

Fantastic! This was just the inspiration I needed. I have all those tools and the way it was presented gives me confidence. Thanks.

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck!

[@keningilbert]

Love the design! I few tips to consider for next time: - Use star flat-head wood deck screws for the 2x4 frame. They go in like butter with no need for pilot holes. Just make sure you go easy or they will go right through the boards. - Get a pocket hole jig and use it to attach the roof frame (5:13min). - Pre-cut the angles for your roof support posts (4:00min) before installing. - I think the bar top tiny 2x4 side piece supports (6:17min) could have been done more securely. Turn them on edge and attach to back side of bar wall.

Love it! Perfect size and simple enough for about anyone! Great job 👏 👍

[@shantanudey3503]

Thank you!

[@twospirits411]

Nice. Awesome that yours is made with better quality materials and it cost way less than those pre-made ones in stores. Just may try this.

[@mannyloera4297]

Very nice! I’m trying to build one for my backyard.. greetings from Las Vegas

[@cookielocurto7075]

Sending this to my son. His momma wants a tiki bar!

[@nikiclark6158]

Great to see your son involved Awesome job dad!

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks a lot!

[@ExtremelyAverage1]

I'm doing this in my house. Thank you for posting! I'm going to use a few of your ideas.

[@ExtremelyAverage1]

So I built it. It's inside, but with a sunset feel. Bamboo poles holding up a thatched roof. I should have decorated first. If you build the bar first, you might just enjoy drinking at it instead of finishing the room. Just a caution.

[@ThePwynne]

Nice job¡ well done, it looks great. I’m about to build one from pallets, and some of your ideas will come in handy. Thanks for sharing.

[@luvurpassion]

Awesome! Good luck on your project!

[@drivinglessondublin]

Brilliant project.Looks really nice.Just a tip on cutting the bamboo at the end.Measure the height you need while still in the wrapping bag and cut before you open it.Gives a much cleaner and uniformed cut👍

[@luvurpassion]

That's a great feedback! Thank you!

[@chuckaddison]

Just got all the materials to build this, this weekend! I’m in Nashville, TN and work in tech also. This tiki set up is going by my pool! Wish me luck, thanks so much for the video!

[@luvurpassion]

Love it! Good luck, and please feel free to let me know if you have any question! The best thing is when you proudly enjoy with your friends and families! :-)

[@dominiquedebucquoy-dodley3747]

Gonna start on this next week. Thanks for the video!

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck on the project next week!

[@jllerona]

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck and have fun!

[@KisahFloandFams]

Awesome... I will try to built mine in the weekend... Tq

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks and good luck on your project!

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks and good luck!

[@jimmckay3841]

Where did you get that cedar for the top i cant find it especially for that price

[@nelgerlara317]

can you give me the link for the thatch please

[@luvurpassion]

Does the link in the comment section work?

[@larshagborg4628]

Great video! I live in Sweden, northern Europe, so I'll have to find a way to remove the roof during the winter.

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you! I think you can possibly use long shingle nails with good waterproof washer from the top and attach/detach if needed.

[@amkenkentable]

Great job! Thanks for sharing the resources.

[@gtdude2883]

Awesome, gonna try and make one.

[@luvurpassion]

Have fun!

[@karinaperez9010]

Thank you!

[@h0n0rreb3l6]

This is awesome! I will be giving this a try. Thank you!!

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you!

[@chrisbrunt5962]

Can u show the video of how u attached the bamboo to the front of the bar please. U showed u were cutting them but we need to see how u attached it too please. Thanks

[@luvurpassion]

Hi Chris, sorry I don't have a video but I used screws with washer and used the tie ropes to tie them down at the corner. Hope that helps!

[@debbiespinosa4791]

It’s awesome! Dear love the idea. ❤️

[@debbiespinosa4791]

We built ours

[@ipark7991]

Thank you for a Lovely video. I will be making this week

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck and please let me know if you have any question! Have fun!

[@georgek1954]

very cool😎

[@jackieflynt995]

Love it!! Thanx for the video

[@shirleyseverns5343]

There is no little bar at the bottom to put your feet, how would you add that?

[@luvurpassion]

Not sure I understand but if you talking about a platform for standing, may be create a separate platform with 2x4" and put 3/4" plywood on top?

[@MiiSzAc3]

Hi! This is amazing! I’m planning on building this for summer, so you have a supply list for the wood? I’m not terribly knowledgeable and it would make it so much easier, thank you!

[@luvurpassion]

Good luck for your project! Have fun. On the supply for lumber: please check the video at 0:34.

[@oneWORMarmy]

Great video, am really interested in trying this on my own. How's the roof holding up? I'm in Florida, so quite a bit more rain and wind I would deal with...

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you for liking it. This has gone through one rainy season in California. So far it’s holding up good. If you get too much rain, may be adding a roofing paper below the thatch will help. You can put a paper or something below the roofing paper from visual perspective.

[@oneWORMarmy]

@@luvurpassion Thank you sir!

[@h0n0rreb3l6]

In FL as well. Is it holding up?

[@oneWORMarmy]

@@h0n0rreb3l6 I built it almost exactly the same as they did. It's awesome. I used a plastic drop sheet like you would use when painting, because if you're in FL, you know the rain is no joke. Holds up like a dream.

[@OWN12S]

Nice job. How much do you think the same lumber would cost now?

[@luvurpassion]

Good point! The lumber cost is so higher. 2x4s used to cost ~$2, and are now $5+ I think. So I think the cost will be at least twice than before :-(

[@akivagroener3321]

Is it necessary to cut the roof supports at a 30 degree angle? I already made my cuts and didn't include the angle. Should I go back and get more wood?

[@luvurpassion]

You need to support the roof at an angle, as keeping it horizontal will not look good and also not good for water flow. You can try to still have the roof sloped without cutting at some angle, but it will be better if you can use a circular saw or something to cut at an angle to support.

[@akivagroener3321]

@@luvurpassion ohhh no I cut the large supports at a 30 degree angle but I neglected to cut the smaller 1×2×6 supports at any angle

[@luvurpassion]

@@akivagroener3321 ah got it! may be you can unscrew a few and cut them?

[@brianmills6076]

What are the dimensions of the roof?

[@luvurpassion]

Each side is about 6'x4'. I did it based on the wood panel size to have a bit more to cover it nicely. But you can always have you own size.

[@VikasSharmaUSA]

Cool project 😎 👌

[@deanahlack4086]

Very helpful thank you very much

[@1jennay]

This is amazing!

[@nikiclark6158]

Should put list of supplies in description box. Closed captions are over your typing of supplies

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks, will remember this!

[@charliemartinhine7441]

Hey there, I was wondering if this tiki bar is somewhat portable?

[@luvurpassion]

Not super portable. I moved it a couple of times by placing furniture dollies below it, and was not bad. You can try to add some wheels at the bottom, that should also work.

[@thedbcooperforum]

Angle cuts should have been done on the chopsaw...

[@bobhill5791]

Great job!!!

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you!!!

[@seegeepee]

How much would you say it weighs?

[@luvurpassion]

seegeepee I really don’t know but will guess more than 100lb. I moved it couple of times. I put a furniture/moving dolly under one side, lifted the other side and was able to move it fairly easily with another person helping me. It will be easier with two dollies under two sides.

[@kensmyth9650]

nicely done!!, but how did you fasten the bamboo fence to the walls?

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks! I used some large diameter washers while screwing the bamboo fence to the wall. Also you can use some wires to attach the bamboo fence to the screws for additional support. Here is an example washer: www.amazon.com/Stainless-Assortment-Different-Automotive-380-Pack/dp/B07CNZWHNT/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=washer+screw&qid=1569391283&sr=8-4&tag=luvurpassion-20

[@joseglez4741]

Very good job !! Excelent

[@wildwoodtop]

This is BADASS!

[@vismitparikh]

do you have large PDF drawing for this please

[@luvurpassion]

an image is in luvurpassion.com/diy/. See if that helps.

[@markjames3079]

Great video & I want to do it but How is this $200 to make , the Thatch roof alone I see is more than $200 , can someone help where I can get the material for the thatch roof as Amazon USA is $500, Amazon Canada is 2 small pcs for $50 , I believe I would need probably 12pcs ? HELP 😁

[@luvurpassion]

I think when I got the Thatch, it was about $100 and was enough for me to cover the whole roof. I needed to use about 6'x3' two pieces on each side. It's out of stock in Amazon now. But I see a different product in Amazon which might be good for you, please take a look. amzn.to/30pkB7s. Please check this let me know if you need any help! Please make sure to measure if that will cover your roof.

[@mikeysmith3755]

[@Badastro59]

Nice work !

[@tomc7018]

how did you make the roof - where do I find those leaves?

[@johncarstetter630]

awesome! looks great man

[@DrinkWater713]

The tricky part would be installing the sink. How on earth do i do that ?

[@luvurpassion]

Ah sorry, I did not had any sink in the tiki bar. It's more of a dry bar, not wet. But, I can imagine you can install and sink, faucet and a drink to make it a wet bar.

[@awizard550]

This is very good. Thanks for sharing. Did you have to secure the thatched roof along all borders of frame or just at top. In video seemed like it was only secured at top. Wondering if it’s done only at top is there a chance of flipping over in wind?

[@luvurpassion]

Thanks! I did it only on the top. I live in California, not in a windy place but you can always secure it more depending on your need.

[@christianmardini8682]

Awesome project!! what are the dimensions you used to build the frame?

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you! Please find the Framing plan along with the dimension here: luvurpassion.com/diy-how-to-build-tiki-bar-at-home-over-a-weekend/

[@johnnichols4033]

My question was the same as the first comment, but in addition to the rain here in Florida, we get some high winds and I’m concerned about how it would hold up, but love the video, great job!

[@luvurpassion]

Thank you. I think high window can be an issue. Actually it fall off once in a middle of storm here in California. We put 1 heavy block on each side at the bottom and it has been pretty stable from there. Worst case, it might need to be bolted on the floor.

[@dineshbalan3017]

Hi can i have the measurements please

[@luvurpassion]

Sorry I was planning to publish the plan but did not get a chance to do it. But you motivated me to do so! Please find the Framing plan along with the dimension here: luvurpassion.com/diy-how-to-build-tiki-bar-at-home-over-a-weekend/

[@_oddanns30]

Amazing

[@holeytrolley6094]

Thank you for the video.

[@davidrico9310]

Nice

[@digitalranger4259]

It's my understanding that pressure treated wood is toxic and should not be used where people may come in contact with it, IE your pillars. Shouldn't they have been made out of regular wood?

[@luvurpassion]

You can always use regular lumber and use a stain + sealer to weatherproof.

[@saltlifess6226]

That's too flimsy you should of used 4 by 4s

[@tomc7018]

sorry - I see it

[@BraxtlyTools]

This is a great video, especially for a Father's Day weekend. Would you be interested in partnership? Sponsorship? We would love to see what you can do with our tools. Let me know, either way, keep up the great work. Emmy Braxtly
