Great stuff AdorAdam - I'm about to take delivery of timber tomorrow so I can start my Tiki bar down here in Weston super Mare...

Its outdoors so it will be a steep learning curve no doubt given the weather etc

Thanks Lavish88, I look forward to your thread. Depending on the specifics of your space, it could go easy or hard! I'd imagine it's best to assume the weather is always going to worse than you expect it to be when deciding how to set things up.

Two thing have been preventing me progressing the space much here:

• Jos brother, Uncle Steven, is a final year university student & is staying with us to study - I offered him to set up in the tiki room to make use of the table during the day, it's a lot easier not to kick him out in the evening.

• Wind & rain! I have a wooden slat blind to stain but it's a bit too damp here.

But we have fixed up a curtain (it needs a little decoration, like ropes & nets strung across it):

We have attached a bamboo wine cooler to the wall & put our banana leaves in there:

I made a bar out of 3 pieces of wood & attached it as you enter the room (about the same height as the top of a door) to hang a sign off:

Rosie has been on hand to hinder me selecting where a few other items will go:

I also spoke to Cheeky Tiki, apparently the table & chairs I have were stock left over from fitting out Mahiki in London.

Excitingly the thatch is on its way to us today!

Cheers all
