Why Have a Bar

Most of us who enjoy their drinking experience had at one point or other thought of having a personal bar in our homes where we can enjoy our times. These bars can also be perfect for the occasion of parties and social gatherings. Hereby you will get a look at how you can build a bar of your choice yourself in your dream home. Before starting the construction you will require the pine boards of the size of the bar required by you with the legs of suitable strength, nails, screws, material for the top of counter, wainscoting as well as drywall. Along with these you will require basic carpentry things like measuring tape, drawing material like paper, pencil and marker, hammers etc.

Build the Bar

Now before starting the construction of the bar, make sure that the all the measurements taken by you are exact. As you will be building a bar in your home so the space will be at premium and you will have to keep the layout of the bar according to that so that there is enough space for everybody to move in the bar and also for you to sit and enjoy. For a standard home bar norms that are followed keep the height in the vicinity of 45 inches. Keep the width of the box enough so that it can support the height of the box. Now on the patron's side extend it for another one foot and on bar tenders side extend it 11 inch long. While increasing this size of box keep in mind the space for the movement of the bartender.

In the next step make design of the box which will provide support to the top of bar. As you have planned the floor layout for this stage you can add the other optional things like sink or air cons. You can place these things in the corners of the box. Also to keep the horizontal corners of the box firm you should make conical blocks of 45 degree each and nail them into the corners. Also place the clippings at the required places if your bar is long in length. Next step would be to mark out the holes for wiring and drains in the box. Make these holes in the locations corresponding to the placement of sinks and air cons. Top of the bar can be designed and cut by you itself if you are going for the wooden top. If you have decided to have the stone or marble top then you should call the manufacturer and ask him to get the readings of the box and cut the top according to that.
