I just finished my Tiki bar project in the backyard- it weighs in at 400+lbs. and was quite a hump to get in the backyard. Made of entirely salvaged or clearance materials and stiched together over 3-4 weekend sessions...
I landed a free box of thatch on a production set-so I added that to the roof- helped on the direct sunlight factor... ;P
I ran an electrical extension to it for power and built a small canopy off the back- its nice and shady... I lucked into some Luau lites at a clearance store and made undercounter and perimeter lights around- helps for when you are looking for a bottle of pineapple juice in the night. The torches work well-I am hoping the thatch doesnt catch.
Looking forward to breaking it in soon....
