Darryl has big plans for his backyard. He’s creating a beachy paradise, featuring a full sand volleyball court. But what beach-themed hangout is complete without a pub shed tiki bar?
As he planned his backyard renovation, his daughter introduced the idea of a Tiki bar. “After she brought it up, I got onto Pinterest, saw some different designs, and started setting aside some of the good stuff,” says Darryl. Eventually, he found his way to Tuff Shed designing a Lean-To shed that would fit his needs.
His new 6×10 Premier Lean-To features some great custom features to bring the Tiki bar to life, including a rollup canister door, swings, and thatched roof. The bamboo exterior finish came later on. “Well, when I designed it, I thought I really picked out some great tropical colors but my wife just hated it,” laughs Darryl. “Since we already were getting some bamboo fencing for the backyard we decided to add some to the exterior of the bar as well.”

Now that the Tiki bar pub shed is all finished, Darryl is ready to enjoy a few backyard happy hours – and start a trend. “I would absolutely recommend Tuff Shed for projects like this. With a little extra work finishing it out, we got exactly what we wanted and I think a lot of people could do the same thing.”

Hi, I am interested in purchasing something similar to the tiki bar but mobile. Could you construct something of the sort? Preferably with a bar opening on 2 sides, one smaller one with the swings and a larger one for walk up service.
Hi Courtney, that sounds like quite the interesting project. While we don’t typically design buildings to be mobile you can certainly speak with your local Tuff Shed team to see what’s possible for your dream design.
