Bar Design Tips

Designing Your Perfect Backyard Bar

Start with the way you want to gather, then choose the layout, materials and details that make the space yours.

Start with the gathering

A backyard bar works best when it is shaped around the people and moments it will serve. Consider how many guests you host, where everyone will sit and which side of the yard naturally becomes the center of the party.

Choose a layout that fits

A straight bar, corner bar or covered structure each creates a different kind of flow. Measure the space before you fall in love with a model, and leave room for stools, walkways and the people who will use them.

Make the details personal

Your finish, roof, lighting and décor turn a build into a favorite place. A custom design gives you room to make those choices from the start.
