Hence, damaging the bar. If you want to take it inside every night by all means buy one. Or if you are looking for an indoor tiki bar they will be great and last almost forever. In my opinion those types of bars are not very suitable for outdoor use. You'll want to build something out of wood and make it authentic looking with an actual wood framed thatched roof. The ones i build weight around 1200 pounds or more and usually never have a problem with it being outdoors all year around. I think you were going to purchase my how to build a tiki bar e-book. If you do i have a contact number in there you can call me at to answer any questions you may have. Thanks, Tiki Kev
