This poolside pub is the perfect place for a refreshing drink after a summer swim.
The project
Unsure what to put at the end of the pool we narrowed it down to two ideas: a pergola or an English pub. Surprisingly the pub won.
We decided to have a Stilla shed installed (not done by us as we wanted it to be perfect). Once it was installed the fit-out began and "The Shoddy" was born.
The start of the dream.
Stones and synthetic grass.
The shed is built.
A blank canvas.
Start of the fit-out: painted roof and insulation.
Pine lining board goes in.
Stain and paint.
Brick-effect wallpaper worked a treat.
Hybrid flooring laid.
The bar goes in.
The Shoddy is named.
Summer swims and then to the pub.
Exterior paint job.
Almost complete.
It's a place to create new memories while chatting about old ones in our own English pub. You can take a video tour on YouTube.
