Build Your Own
I know quite a few people that have built their own bar. It took them a good long while. Also, it ended up costing almost the same amount of money. So, yes you can build your own outdoor bar. If you really feel the itch to build then take stock of your skills. What have you built in the last month? If it’s less than one thing you might reconsider this project.
It can be a consuming project but it can also be worthwhile. There are plenty of plans and DIY instructions available. You can probably download free plans just about anywhere. Try customizing your build and doing something really special and unique. I’ve seen old coins used as the surface.
