This outdoor breakfast bar was secured to the existing patio frame and built at different heights for visual interest.

The project

 

We made a few additions to enhance this nook and outdoor breakfast bar.

 

I framed with 90 x 45 timber and cladded with Ekodeck composite decking.

I then built the secondary cantilevered frame into the main frame, which I stepped down for some visual interest.

We painted the screening panels Woodland Grey from a previous project. We used this again on the bar frame to blend it into the rest of the structure.

I used the existing columns of the patio to carry the larger weight load of the main frame, which I built in-between the columns.

Workshop member SoniaM upcycled this bar on a budget of only $20, using bamboo privacy screening as cladding.
