Part of entertaining consists of serving beverages to your guests. While you can just set a cooler outside and tell them to help themselves, it is much classier to serve them their drinks to order behind your very own outdoor bar. It may be tempting to buy a bar and set it up, but odds are you will still have to assemble it when you get it home. A better idea is to build your own bar and personalize it how you like. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
- 1
Place the piece of 3/4 inch plywood that is 5 feet by 3 feet 5-3/4 inches on a flat surface. Place two of the pieces of 3-foot 5-1/4-inch 4-by-4 on top of the plywood and push them to the outside edges so that the edges of the plywood are even with the sides of the 4-by-4. Screw the 4-by-4 to the plywood from the plywood side into the beams. This is the two front legs and front masking for the bar.
2Place the piece of 3/4-inch plywood that is 5 feet by 1 feet 8-3/4 inches on a flat surface. Stand the other two pieces of 3-foot 5-1/4-inch 4-by-4 on top of the plywood in two corners along the longer edge. Screw the beams to the plywood through the plywood. This is the back legs and the top of the bar.
3Place the "front" of the top of the bar on top of the front leg/masking piece. Screw the top into the front legs through the plywood. You should now have four legs, a bar top, and masking for the front of the bar all attached
4Measure 2 feet from the bottom of the back legs toward the top in the interior of the bar. Place the piece of 4-foot 5-inches by 3-foot 8- inches 3/4-inch plywood inside the bar at this mark. This is the bar shelf. Screw this into place through all four legs and through the front masking.
5Place a piece of 3/4-inch plywood that is 3 feet 6 inches by 1 foot 8-3/4 inches over one of the bar sides. Screw this piece into place through the plywood and into the legs. This is one of the side maskings for the bar. Repeat this for the remaining piece of 3-foot 6-inch by 1-foot 8-3/4-inch plywood on the other side.
