Portable Patio Bar

Metal patio bars

Patio bars made from metal are an ideal choice if you're looking for something easy and low maintenance. Metal is durable and hard-wearing, even if the worst of weather conditions. You can leave your metal patio bar outside all year round without it suffering. With strong sturdy chrome legs and wheels to make it portable, a metal patio bar is a shiny, solid and practical addition to the garden.

Corner patio bars

This design is the ultimate space-saving solution, and is a good option for smaller gardens where you might find that space is limited. Just because you don't have a large garden doesn't mean you have to miss out on a cool patio bar. Standing at around four feet in height, corner patio bars are usually sturdy and wooden with a glossy or marble top. They may have shelving behind them to allow for maximum storage space – you can store bottles, glasses and cutlery on these.

Patio bar with fridge

These come at a higher cost, but they can be very useful in the summer time when you want to keep all the drinks cool. These are normally around two feet longer to allow for the extra space which is being taken by the refrigerator. These designs vary, and the fridge could be positioned at the front of the bar or behind the bar. They will most commonly be behind the bar to allow the option of serving your guests if you wish. A convenient option to keep drinks and snacks cool when you're sitting outside.

Hawaiian style patio bar

If you want to create something different and summery for your friends, why not install a Hawaiian style patio bar in your garden? You can have this with or without a refrigerator as mentioned above. These are normally wooden with space for bar stools on either side. A small canopy area in a Hawaiian theme can often be found covering the bar in true authentic fashion.

Barrel patio bar

While some barrel patio bars are not portable, you can buy some which have wheels in order to move around the garden. These are in the form of large wooden barrels which have been modified to allow for shelves, storage and even a sink with a tap. If you want to have larger parties, you should consider buying two or three barrel patio bars. Since each barrel is around 24 inches in diameter, one may not provide enough space.
