O.K. for those of you looking to build your own bar... I first offer my condolences... Just kidding!

Listing of suppliers / materials:

Calibamboo.com for the 2 inch bamboo fencing used to surround the outside of the bar.
Thatch from ebay - Don't pay more than $150(including shipping) for 30" by 60' rolls of braided thatch.
The Plan - This is a "Tiki-Kev" plan but... don't start building using this plan without emailing me first. I can share the do's and don'ts based on that plan.
Bar Top - I used Oak plywood and sealed it using West System Epoxy Resin (Check your local marina or marine supply)
The roof is contstructed from cedar 2x4's. The facia board for the roof is 1x6 cedar decking.
Cabinet doors are plywood painted with two coats of oil paint.

Good luck!
