Swim Up Floating Bar – The Party Barge: Floating Bar Concept
Now for something completely different! This unique bar design combines a modified swim raft configuration and combines it with a submerged seating / standing framework. It is designed to be anchored off a lakeside pier or dock and can be easily pulled onshore for off season storage. Can also be built for ocean (bay, cove, lagoon) use.
Floating Bar Concept – designed for lake use.
Plan Number: EMBP-21
Model: Party Barge – Floating Swim Up Bar Platform
Skill Level: Intermediate
Length: ~ 96″x 96″
Height: ~ 60″
Estimated cost to build: ~$120+ varies depending upon configuration and materials.
Plenty of room to rest & relax. A total of 16 people can gather around the submerged seating platform. Ample sized bar top can double as an area to sun tan or sit on lawn chairs. Bar top is designed to displace 2000lbs. Low profile edge eliminates water critter intrusion. All weather usage – for use in summer months only (of course). If you need a little more background on this goofy project read about how it was thought up. Preliminary drawings now available. This project is currently forum based with CAD diagrams.
