What's great about a Tiki Bar is that there are no standard designs and the only limits are your imagination and your project budget. You could build the structure out of 3/4" plywood and then cover the surfaces with things Tiki, like woven mats or reed fencing material or tiles or shells or fake stucco lava. Don't forget recessed light effects. My Bar, for instance, has a memory box type top that is recessed so that I can display my collection of paper tiki memorabilia,etc. I can change the display whenever I want. Half the fun is seaching for decor items. Ebay is a good source for these. Also search the links for vendors of tikidom. Tikiboy
