Kick Off a Summer of Sport with Your Very Own Garden Bar!

20 June 2024

This summer promises to be one to remember for us sports lovers. Not only do we get to enjoy the regular annual events like Wimbledon, the British Grand Prix and Glorious Goodwood, we’ll be able to savour football’s European Championship and the Olympics too.

If you can’t attend these events in person, the next best way to lap up the action is on television, in the company of friends, over a few light refreshments, with the sun on your back. The only problem with this is that everybody else tends to have the same idea, so pubs and bars that showcase these events and have outside areas are usually packed.

Well, if the thought of long queues, spilt drinks and lack of seating is starting to dampen your enthusiasm for this summer’s big sporting events, we’ve got a great suggestion for you…

Why not buy your own garden bar?

Reasons to Buy a Garden Bar

The beauty of an outdoor bar is that it helps you recreate that special pub atmosphere in the comfort of your garden, so you can enjoy all the action, in the company of family and friends, but without the hassle.

What’s more, as your food and drink will probably be coming from the supermarket or local shop, it’s going to be significantly cheaper than the prices charged at the bars in town.

Choosing the Right Garden Bar

Because not everybody has the same type of garden, same-sized social circles and same taste in decor, we have 3 different garden bars for sale, designed to cater for all possible requirements. Let’s take a look at these outdoor garden bars right now, to help you determine which is best suited to your own summer of sport.

6' x 4' Forest 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Garden Bar (1.99m x 1.88m)

This is the largest of our garden bars for sale. It is pressure treated and backed by a market-leading 25-year guarantee, so further treatment is never required. Built in Britain from premium 12mm shiplap cladding, on a 28mm x 56mm frame, this outdoor bar is strong, long lasting and supremely weathertight. The timber used to make it is FSC certified, which is exclusively sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests.

This wooden garden bar also features a fully modular design, meaning it’s delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels but you get more overall wood. Not only does this make it easier to assemble and provide a choice of door position, it ensures a much stronger structure too.

The floor is constructed from top-of-the-range tongue and groove, so will easily accommodate beer kegs and cope with regular footfall. Pressure-treated bearers raise it slightly off the ground, increasing air circulation underneath the garden bar and providing another layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.

This outdoor bar’s roof sports an eye-catching reverse apex design, allowing you plenty of headroom and giving you the chance to store taller items. It is made from tough OSB and fitted with a weatherproof felt cover to keep the interior completely dry. Smooth-planed barge boards and 2 diamond-shaped finials nicely round off the bar’s exceptionally attractive appearance.

You can access the interior through a single door, which can be positioned at either end of the bar. This door is ledged and braced for extra strength and to prevent it losing shape. It also features hidden security hinges and a pad bolt to keep valuable items safe.

When it comes to giving your guests great customer service, this home garden bar ticks all the boxes. Bi-fold shutters run the entire width of the bar, so you’ll have plenty of serving space, while the wooden bar top provides ample room to display food and place coasters. Plus, as the bar walls are made from robust shiplap cladding, they can easily be used to hang a range of bottles, optics and other useful items.

6' x 3' Forest 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Garden Bar (1.89m x 1.19m)

If you’d like a backyard patio bar with the same superb specification but in a slightly smaller size, this is the garden bar for you.

Apart from its size, the main difference is the style of roof because this particular model comes with a contemporary pent design, which arguably makes it even easier to customise in a theme of your choice.

Something else to bear in mind about these 2 wooden garden pub bars is that because they boast such sturdy builds and effective security, they can easily double up as garden storage sheds. So, once the summer of sport is over, they would make the ideal winter home for your lawnmower and patio furniture.

Forest Wooden Fold Down Garden Wall Bar 2'6 x 0'6

If you’re not ready to commit to a large garden bar, or if you simply have a small outside area, buying a garden bar bistro/ wall bar, like this one, is the perfect solution.

Expertly built from PEFC-certified, ethically-sourced wood, this garden wall bar is pressure treated, smooth-planed and backed by a fabulous 15-year anti-rot guarantee, so no further treatment is required. This saves you money on expensive wood preservatives and leaves you more time to enjoy a quiet drink while watching the sport.

To use this garden bar, simply fold down the cabinet's wooden cover, open out the supporting frame, and you’ve got a readymade drinks cabinet, plus attractive wooden table on which to place your nibbles and drinks.

Then, once the fun is over, fold the table and frame back onto the drinks cabinet, where they act as a protective cover for your bottles and glasses, leaving your patio or balcony free to use for other purposes.

Garden Bars are Great for Commercial Premises Too!

Because of their intelligent design and premium build, our wooden garden bars are ideal for commercial use too.

If you own a pub or bar, you’ll know that your outside area is often busier during the warmer weather, so buying a garden bar allows you to take your wares directly to where your customers are sat, with the result that they’re likely to spend more money. Outdoor bars offer your customers a novel experience too, setting your venue apart from the competition, increasing footfall and maximising takings.
