Re: Bar / Table - standup gathering area

Hello @Annie22 

 

Thank you for sharing your barrel bar table project.

 

These barrel tables with timber tops look fantastic in your garden! They add a unique and rustic charm to the gathering area. The glossy finish on the barrels contrasts beautifully with the rich, warm tones of the wood. It must be a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.

 

Again, thank you for sharing such a unique project. 

 

Eric
