Make a Bar for your patio and enhance your time outdoors this summer!
Start by constructing the base. This is done with 2×4 boards and fence pickets. Notice that the wood used for this project is cedar, but to bring costs down other woods wood work as well.
Next step is to attach fence pickets around the outside of the bar.


Continue by drilling in the boards around the whole circumference.
Next, I made the top and attached it.
After adding the concrete top and lighting bring it out to your patio or deck for a fun sunny summer afternoon or evening :)

    Did you use acrylic blocks in the countertop to allow the lighting or is it something else? It looks amazing!

    It's really very nicely done. I wish you had given more in depth instructions though. I also have several questions, like how you made the bar top. More thourough instruction would have been helpful. I also noticed you did a bit of work under the bar top, a way to hang wine glasses, shelf for other glass ware. Great project but you left me hanging in between the steps, more info. Could have helped. Do you have a video of your work step by step?
