So my wife asked me to build a outdoor bar and I found your page. Never thought I was capable to build some of this magnitude from scratch before, but low and behold I DID IT. Wish I could post pics along with a huge thank you.
So glad I found your channel. I'm 72 years old and am working on deck and landscaping. I need a bar and had priced them and seen other diy. Your's is by far the perfect one for me to attempt. I can hardly wait to go to lumber yard. Thanks so much.😁
Gotta say...I love it!! Looks good and you made the task of building it as well, look simple! Just need to have wife watch it so she can build me one.
hehe. I love it.
Let me know how that goes Steve .. maybe then we can get your wife to encourage mine lol
I'm going to be honest, I have OCD about having plans, BUT........... I love your free wheeling style and SUCCESS!
Great instructional video. I'm making a tiki bar for a party and I am going to use your setup as my starting point. The only change I will make is after I copy yours, I am going to add 8' posts that will go thru the countertop and attach to the sides of the bar. I will then add a roof and cover with palm branches. I love your use of the redwood with the black framing. My whole yard is surrounded with redwood fences so this will blend in perfectly. Thank again!
Sounds awesome! I have wondered if I should have put a roof onto it too. If I had to do over again, I might have extended the 4 4x4's up to carry a small roof. But what I definitely might still add to mine are wheels. I never thought I would have to move it as often as I have, and it weighs a ton.
This thing is absolutely DOPE 👍!!!!! The colors and the build!!!! Very very nice job.... If you don't already you should build these constantly and sell them!!!!..I'd buy one!!!
Simple design, managable project, and a fantastic look. Of all the videos I've seen online, this is the only one (so far, at least) that doesn't want to make me cry from the complexity of the build. And, you've explained the entire process, showed that process on video, AND did it all in under 14 minutes. Many thanks for this. Ok, now time to hit the store for some lumber. Wish me luck.
Awesome. Thanks!! I can't wait to see how yours comes out.
That is a great looking bar! I'm making mine slightly longer for an indoor bar. When I complete mine, I'll post it and my building specifics.
Thank you Maura Houston, I just made my own mini bar just like yours following your instructions. I did it all with recycled material and I only spend like 20 for the 2x6 wood for the top and a bottle opener I attached to the side.
Downloaded your plans from your website and watched this video maybe 20 times. lol. I’m proud to say I have a beautiful outdoor bar thanks to you! Thank you for sharing and simplifying this project. I’m a big fan of pocket holes now too. Hid them all behind the fence boards so I didn’t need to fill them in as I used cedar. Thank you again!
That's fantastic! I still love my bar, and it's been 5 years.
Great Job Maura! I really appreciate how clear and concise you made it.
En la descripción ella puso un “link” del material que uso.
For someone who just winged it it's one of those best looking homemade bars I've seen. I imagine it must extremely sturdy and weigh a ton. That's my concern is that it may get blown over during a storm but that one looks heavy.
We’ve had some pretty windy days, for california at least, and it hasn’t budged. Very sturdy.
WHAT IN THE WORLD???? This is AMAZING. I love it. Thank you. Just the idea I was looking for. Thank you thank you.....
I like the size and simple design, think I mill up some hickory boards and a couple of 2-1/2" slabs for the bar tops 😊
That will look fantastic!
Thank you for the lovely inspiration. Maybe some day I'll make a similar on my plot😅
Nice I'm gonna try it, I'm 54 yrs old haven't done wood work since high school...🙄😄
Wow excellent video!!! I am very impressed and motivated to make one. Thank you!!
Hola! 🖐Really cool project. Really enjoyed the video. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Just wanted to say thanks I built one and it came out great chairs and all. Much appreciated
This was so informative. I cant wait to see how you incorporate the sink and Fridge:). Thank you for sharing
Love it . Well done. You should be proud of this. Only thing is now my wife wants one just like it.
That turned out awesome! Looking to build a custom bar soon and this vid helps so much!
Probably the best design bar I ever saw. Gave excellent instructions and it looked beautiful after you finished. Now I know the first thing I will be making. Great video.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for a great design, plans and video. Just finished mine and it turned out better than I expected. I got a little extravagant for the front and side panels and used cedar tongue and grove. They look great and we’re very easy to install. I had been looking for an outdoor bar plan for a while but nothing struck me as both attractive and easy to build until I found yours. Thanks again!
Awesome! I'd love to see photos of it. Or you can tag me on social media. I love seeing the bars that people are building.
Here’s two pics of the completed project. Everyone loves it. Put three coats of varnish on the bar top and so far, it seems to work. Thanks again for the great design and plans. photos.app.goo.gl/nN1X5Rr3D56ctwFG9
i saw the video and still dont think i can pull this off.... looks great!
I Have seen a lot of this Videos! But yours is the BEST" so far...I am getting ready to start working on mine this month in November...
Great Job. Hopefully when I am done, I can post a video.
Thanks from France 🇫🇷 very good vidéo 😊
Great Job Lady, I like it. I’m trying to get ideas for a bar in my backyard by the pool.
Very clean, very well crafted craftswoman.
Beautiful finish
Really like the looks of the black 4x4 and the cedar. Very good looking bar.
Wow!!!! What an amazing job! I will most definitely be copying your work. You did an amazing job it looks so nice. I build Pergolas with my son for his company and this will be great to add to our arsenal. We do fences and anything we can build but you did such a nice job I am going to start recommending this to our customers. Thank you for your hard work and your amazing job of explaining the work you had done.
Thinking about building me my own bar this is very cool thanks for the video
Came here because i was looking for a diy, and after going through your content, i will definitely do more than just one, awesome page, keep up the videos 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for the inspiration! Made a duplicate with a few modifications including a copper toe kick. Wish I could figure out how to post a photo here, turned out great! It's the envy of the neighborhood.
Love the planning 🥰
Beautiful bar! Really digging that set up!😎
Very nice Idea, simple praktical solution and stylish Look.
Will use a few parts of urs for my own.
I made one, thanks, loving it. It has been to two weddings and holding up great!
Absolutely beautiful! Well done
Your a pro for sure . That's no rookie work 😮😮👍👍
with the price of wood nowadays its a bad time to be messing around with no plan maura! :D Great job!
I am so impressed! Love the look and design! The contrast is what really catches the eye. Beautiful work and I plan to build this as inspiration. Thank you!
Plans and instructions were on point made mine to spec's AWESOME, recommend to everyone 2 thumbs up
Just saw this and now I want to add the upper counter to my self-built bar like you have. I was lucky, I found wide plank wood in my attic that had to come out for insulation so I built it from that. But, I wish I had seen you video first for some great ideas on the look. Thanks!
This is great . If ever learn to cut boards straight, ill build one
I followed your plan but had some treated 2x4 and 4x4 in my parents backyard that I used. Also spent a little extra money on some butcher blocks and it came out great!!! Thanks for the video!!
Nice! Good use of what you had laying around!
This is great! you don't have to fix the middle support! it gives it a little character and still looks great. You did a great job!
Beautiful! I'd like to make a version of this for my Blackstone grill. Sort of a hibachi table type thing.
Send pictures when you're done. That sounds awesome!
Maura, I would love to see the finished version of your bar; maybe you can post some pictures of the power spurce, mini fridge & sink. Thanks
Sorry I missed your comment until now! I have been meaning to do an update to the bar, but I haven't had time. But the mini fridge never fit into it. I should have waiting until I got the fridge to take proper measurements. Amazon had the wrong measurements listed. And I wound up with a separate outdoor sink. So, my bar still looks the same as it did in the video. Actually, it could use some refinishing. But SOLID as ever.
You did a terrific job on the bar..
I like that design!
that's flippin' awesome! nice work.
Absolutely great love the way u explained everything thoroughly detailing the lengths and sizes. Again well done
It'll look nice in my Livingroom 😊
Hell of a job...nice bar
Thank you so much for these plans!! I made a couple modifications of my own :-)
Be glad to send pics!
Great project your finishing is spot on very much to my style. Your very easy to listen to
Awesome job. I finally got my Tiki Hut built. Gonna use your idea for that bar. Its perfect.
Great job!!!👍
This is awesome love it defs gonna make one for fish gutting ❤️
Awsome job and looks really good and strong
This design is nice and simple to build 💯👍
Really beautiful work.
Beutifull work 👌
That is amazing! Inspired to do one myself. Thank you and love from the UK.
Thank you I love the finish product
This is perfect for what I would like my bar to look like. Hope to see how you will install the fridge and sink!
me too! The free fridge I got from my sister didn't fit!! the measurements that I got off of amazon, the ones that I built the bar around, were wrong! I still haven't figured out what I am going to do now.
I really enjoyed the build, I think I will try to make one real similar in the near future...thanks for sharing
You wanna sell it
Awesome job, nice and clean looking.
Awesome build, new follower to your channel. Thank you for the specs, can't wait to build mines.
Nice work, Maura, it is superb!👍👏👏
This is beautiful
phenomenal build. USed this as a guide for my own and it was perfect. Thanks for the hard work!
Beautiful I will be making this for sure....👍
Great looking bar. I love the look of the cedar. This one is definitely on my to-do list.
Very nice 👍🏼👍🏼. You’ve inspired me as well to maybe build one for my back yard imaginary Caribbean sanctuary lol. Thank you. I really enjoyed watching the build.
That was great, I loved it , Gave me a great Idea for a disc jockey stand, but I actually like it better as a bar, Perhaps a little stain and several coats of some gloss Polyurethane . The Action shot was my favorite though, By the way I love your design, I am so building this!!! Again Awesome Job Miss Maura Houston, you stole my heart girl ;)
Nice job. It was a pleasure to watch.
Wow beautiful work!!!
I enjoyed watching this build, good design, good explanations and great action shots!!!
I wonder how many people built this during lock down! Looks amazing.
I've gotten several e-mails and photos of people building the bar during lockdown. I'm sad for the reason, but I am loving all the photos.
Just watched this video. Love the design of your bar, you have done a amazing job. I have a bar build that I have yet to finish trying to find some red gum slabs to put on the top. Again your bar looks amazing. New subscriber here, look forward to more content from you. 😊👍🏿🇦🇺🍺
A red gum slab on top will be beautiful. I'd love to see photos when you're done. maura@maurahouston.com
What a great build. I cant wait to get mine in.
Nice work. Strong and sturdy bar
So far you did better than the boys explaining how you built your bar and provided a diagram. Bravo for you. FYI, 7th grade wood shop was the best two years of my life...kind of sort of anyway.
Jack Sanders , I still have the bench seat I made in 8th grade woodshop. 😁
Awesome video, ya gave me some great ideas thanks
This is awesome. Great video. I am re-doing my deck and looking for outdoor space ideas. Thank you!!!!
Really nice I like it
Love the bar, Design is awesome. Great work!
I'm going to make this ❤
That was awesome, I think you may have inspired me to build one for my outdoor kitchen
2:18 oh I wish it were true Lol .. that is one beautiful bar thanks for the upload will be building one soon..
Amazing work !!!! Just amazing!!!
Very nice construction and clear direction. I may build something similar. Thanks!
Beautifully done!! Nice job!
Nice looking bar!
Looks good
Looks very nice. Can't wait to see the final result!
I may try this for my back yard. Thanks for the video and idea.
This is excellent. I had an idea of using 4 x 4's and 2 x 4s as the foundation but I could not find examples on the net to get visual confirmation. Eventually, I stumbled on this video. I had a smaller version in mind but this is exactly what I was thinking and I have to say that the lower counter with the sink is a great idea in addition to the U-shape. The end result is awesome. I refinished an Amish tea cart recently and I thought I would use the same finish on the bar. I just need to buy a pocket hole drill to get started. Thanks for sharing.
Matthew Swayne , I used a kreg picket hole jig. I use it ALL the time.
@@maurahouston I built my bar and 1 bar stool so far. I will be staining it and using polyurethane very soon and then I can install the goodies. I made a few minor changes from your video as follows:
1. Smaller width (5 foot) and some other dimensions were altered slightly
2. On the bar top, 2 x 12's were used for the U shape
3. On the countertop, I used a tongue and groove pine (recommended by a Lowe's employee).
4. Added a sink and an electrical outlet. I placed a garden hose faucet on the bottom right hand side (near where my house hose will be) and I used a replacement power cord to hook up to an outlet so that it has power. A flush mounted conference room power grommet was used on the counter and place in a location where 'customers' can charge their phone (iPhone folks can get a little Apple juice at the bar. lol)
5. Casters so that the bar can be easily moved around on my patio
6. Molding. I used molding in a few places to hide some mistakes (oops).
7. I created some dental molding using pressure treated fence lumber. This was tedious but it turned out really nice looking.
I can't wait to get this stained and finished. I can already tell that it will look insane.
BUT I wanted to thank you again for this video and the blue print. While I changed a number of things, your bar caught my attention over the other outdoor bars that I saw online. Great job.
Your disclaimer is life for me. 😂
