Home bar build ? Hmmm

ted1234 · 5 Feb 2016

Hi everyone, I am going to have ago a building a wooden home bar.
I know it's basically a large box with one side missing, but can anyone give me any tips to make this strong but not to heavy?
Regards Ted

What do you call Heavy? you intend to keep moving it?

Well, I suppose because of the location we might have to move it on the odd ocassion.
But I guess I can always get my son to do that . I was thinking of 2x2 in each corner then MDF it's going to be around 5ft long so don't want it to bow in the middle. Thanks.

I guess a 2x2" frame clad with 1/2" MDF should be fine - with a heavier duty top to prevent bowing in the middle.

18mm mdf , no frame required, you will need internal shelving for a bar, so should not be any long section of unsupported top. Stick it on wheels if you need to move it.
