If you're thinking about spending relaxing time at home, then why not consider a back yard paradise.
Building a tiki bar can be a fun project not only for you but for your family.
I have listed the top five reasons for building a outside bar below.

1. Building a tiki bar is a rewarding experience, knowing that you built it with your own hands.
   Just think, as your friends see that you built your own back yard island paradise.
   I like many others enjoy the self-satisfaction of seeing a structure come to life right before my eyes.
   
2. Your tiki bar will be party central, a way to entertain family and friends.
   In my own design I have a stereo music system below my bar which has two speakers on each side of our pool and two speakers on our deck.
   We play island music every time we sit by our outdoor bar which creates an island atmosphere.
   It is so important to have electric installed so you can run the blenders for those special ice concoctions.
   
3. This reason is why I built my own back yard paradise.
   My wife and I always enjoyed going on cruises and visiting the many Caribbean islands that have crystal clear water.
   One thing you always find on these islands is tiki bars.
   They come in many sizes and shapes.
   You will always hear steel drums or reggae music in the back ground.
   So, what I have done is make my own island away from the Caribbean, right in my very own back yard.
   
4. This outside bar will last! A well-built tiki bar is made of the finest lumber to withstand the elements over the years.
   When you build your bar to certain specifications it will last a lifetime.
   Just think something that will get old with its surroundings, needing little maintenance and up keep is a plus for anyone.
   Less up keep means more time you can spend enjoying your outside paradise.
   
5. My final comment here I hope will mean a lot to people wanting to start outdoor project.
   A set of plans is a must if you want something that is well-built, made to last, and made with the finest carpentry practices I know.
   This may not seem like a reason to build a tiki bar but considering that you are already reading this then I must assume you are considering building one.
   I used a set of plans that have been proven time and time again to out last others.
   

My plans consisted of pictures, a step by step guide, and a complete material list and where to find materials.
The plans are designed by a very good friend of mine who has been in construction for many years.
He started out building decks and additions on houses but he also visits the islands and fell in love not only with his spouse but island tiki bars.
He thought to himself that he could build one of these at home, and guess what; what started as a small business has blossomed into the number one tiki bar builder in America.
