I have just signed up after reading an article about someone who turned their garage into a tiki bar. I am in the process of making one for an outside area next to my swimming pool. It was going to be a surf shack but after a trip to the states for Viva Las Vegas in 2012 (where I got my first tiki tattoo) it has been changed to a tiki bar area. We started with an old bar and added some bamboo and a thatch style roof. We have bought a few tiki statues and even had a local nursery, who do carving, make one out of sandstone. I have taken some photos along the way and will try to attach them to this post. The next step is dressing up the area with all the tiki things we have collected, mugs, signs and various other items. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are off to Hawaii in September and hope to get more items. The raw bar Stripping it down With no top Adding bamboo The top sanded back The roof section The chosen area The surf theme is changed The bar is set in place Preparing the area Bamboo wall all done
