Old shed turned Tiki hut/bar

This project is a few years old now but i did put together a few pics of the process!!

This building orginally was a small garage back in the 30s-40s then turned into a shed sometime after,,the first picture is what it looked like when we got it..followed by what a little imagination came up with 🙂

And there you have it a Tiki Bar!!

A little imagination and repurpose some things then you could have an awesome place to hangout!!!

There have been quite a few of decorative things added since those pictures were taken so ill try to get some new ones up for an update!!

like a bigg mirror above the bar and some awesome old beer signs!!

Now that is what I call recycling! Very cool project. The wood underneath the bar looks killer!

Awesome job repurposing YiKKiT! That has got to be awesome with that new deck too!

Blow insulation in a…shed? That would have shocked me. 

So you are building the Mai Kai south

Everyone should have a tiki bar

With the age of the shed there’s no telling..luckily our neighbor lady (who past at the age of 98!!!!) Had lived next door for decades..her father or grandpa one had lived in our house at some point and said the building was a garage and sat 20ft or away from where it is now and that when cars got too big to fit in anymore they walked up the opening and put it on a higher foundation..

It’s pretty neat to see the different theories behind construction over the yrs jus from this one small once garage, then shed, now tiki bar!!

Thanks man..I’m originally from NH so I know what you mean..sounds like you need one of those big propane radiant patio heaters..or 4!! Hahaha

That or jus layer up some Milwaukee heated gear lol

Wow. That’s the kind of thing that makes me wish I had a yard. Add a brick pizza oven, hot tub, and fireplace and there’s no reason to go inside!
