Advice on layout…. Can’t decide which way to go! Help!

[josh_hix]

Hi guys and gals! Really starting to lose my mind about what would be the best design to utilize my area best. Any ideas or advice would really help. Especially I would like the perpective of folks here because they have already done theirs and might have some unique advice after making their own decisions. The floor area I have to work with is 10′ x 12′ that is the area of my roof structure that I have built so everything needs to fit that space bar stools and all.

Here is a link to my photo gallery so you can get an idea of what I am working with:

I initially was leaning toward the 45% bar plan but now I am unsure.

Thanks for any advice or ideas,

John

Hi Wally!

Nice hut! I too was wondering which bar you were leaning towards.

If it were up to me, I’d go with a straight bar set sideways to use that nice cozy bar back pocket.

Let me whip up a drawing to show you what I mean…(20 minutes later) here ya go Wally!’

This is how I’d do it. I’m guessing the 12′ wall is against the back.

This is the most practical way to do it, since the three walls will protect your back bar from winds and weather.

The EHBP-03 would fit this perfectly, I don’t think you even need to resize it.
The EHBP-03 includes a lower wet prep area. You can omit the keg box portion of you like.

This layout also allows 48″ behind the bar which would accommodate a 12″ deep bar back for booze cabinets and display shelves.
I even threw in a 32″ TV in the corner…well protected from the elements.

There is even a waitress station where someone can just walk up to the bar end to get a drink.
You would french the corner into the wall end and be sure to extend the bar top out a bit (6″) not shown.

Angled bars would just be too big for the inside size of the structure.

Here, I dropped an actual EHBP-03 model in there to show you the exact fit.

It can hang out just flush with the exterior wall so you can close it up in the winter, if you have winter in your location.
My drawing shows is out a little more than needed…maybe 2 inches or so.
Use treated lumber and weather proof finish, cause it might get a tiny bit wet.

Hope that helps!
