How to build a Tiki Bar from Taverns To Go

[@lostaudience2208]

Excellent work

Was it hard to secure the roofing panels since you built the frame of the roof on the bar? I’m thinking of building the frame of the roof on the floor so that I can easily secure the roofing panels, and then lifting the whole roof onto the bar after it’s built

No because I have a large ladder and was able to reach the entire surface of the roof from the ladder. If you go bigger than 10’wide then yes I may be tough to mail the roof in.

Makes sense, thanks for the quick reply. And nice job with your video, I’m trying to re-create the same kind of bar and I found your video very helpful!

What kind of Tv Mount did you use? I’m not sure what to use to fit the two by fours that are place next to each other in the middle of the back wall and not the typical 16 inch stud spacing.

Did you have to anchor it down so no fear of wind blowing it over?

[@thestclairchannel3889]

No it’s heavy. Just went through 60mph winds last week with no issues

Pretty sure you should have attached the studs to the frame flush with the inside of the frame and then you could have cut the 1x6s so the fit inside the outer frame so you’d have them concealed and didn’t see the edges of the wood.

I started it that way and wanted to do it that way and ran into complications as you need something to tack the ends of the 1 by 6s onto when recessed. You would have to rip a 2 by 4 or place an additional 2 by 4 at a right angle inside the frame.
