Portable Bamboo over PVC Tiki Bar

Here are pics of my portable Tiki Bar. The Bar top is 24" by 72". The bar frame is made from 1 1/4 pvc with support legs using 1" pvc. I made hollow bamboo by drilling two connected 12" extension through bamboo then fitting that bamboo over the 1" pvc. To fit the 1" pvc through the 1 1/4" I used a Woodstock D2854 1-5/16" Forstner Bit Woodstock D2854 1-5/16" which is the exact outside diameter of a 1" pvc pipe. I used hole saws to cut the holes for the bamboo frame to make the roof. Then I drilled through the entire bamboo piece and inserted glue covered dowels to hold the frame tightly in place. For further info just ask.

Hello! Excellent portable tiki bar, and very clever!

Really Flexible minded person.
Good job!

I picked up most of the PVC from our local thrift store. The 1 1/4 connectors were a bit pricey because of shipping. The roof folds together on a long piano hinge to make it more portable. The bar top and shelves are cut from a single piece of cabinet grade plywood. This is a fairly portable bar. I say fairly because the thatch roof is over 7' long and rigid. The thatch I ordered came in two pieces and I simply constructed the bamboo roof framing to match the size of the thatch. All in all this is a straight forward project. PVC is easy to work with and cheap. Thanks for the comments.

Nice job!!!

I agree, awesome job and very clever!!
