Tiki Bar Furniture for a Tropical Flair

Tiki bars, which are tropical inspired bars, are made from 100% bamboo. Bamboo Tiki bars are treated with a water proof varnish, which protects the furniture from U.V. rays that can cause colors to fade.

Bamboo furnishings should always be placed on a solid dry surface outdoors. Concrete or decking is a good base material while grass and dirt are not because they tend to hold moisture.

A deluxe Tiki bar furniture adds a tropical flair to your poolside or patio while being very solidly built. Features of a deluxe Tiki bar furniture include a two-tier counter for preparing and enjoying tropical drinks. Storage drawers and cabinets for supplies and liquor are plentiful. The beautiful cabinet done in a natural bamboo cross-weave and a foot rail make for an attractive and relaxing watering hole. The Molokai bar features a fitting for an umbrella.

Bamboo is an extremely strong and versatile material, used in the orient for an amazing variety of construction applications. Strong enough for homes, and roofing, but light and stiff enough to produce paper, boat, rafts and even flatware. As stated earlier, outdoor bamboo furniture needs to be maintained with a coat of varnish to protect from rain and sun, and be placed on a deck or patio to keep water off the lower portion of the furniture.

Mood lighting is very important in an indoor Tiki bar furniture that is best lit with low multi-colored lights. Neon signs and televisions practically destroy the mood at an indoor Tiki bar. Even with South Pacific travel films on the tube, the mood is absolutely ruined. Outdoor Tiki bars are completely different because the surf and the sun are part of the mood in the day time. Night time at a Tiki bar however call for lighting to set the mood again, and low lighting just over the moon and star light sets the stage.

Televisions showing scenes that are dark with the brightness down still disrupt the intended ambiance of an indoor Tiki bar furniture. A product known as TV-B-Gone is carried by Tiki bar furniture fanatics on their keychain that can turn off virtually any television like a universal remote control.

A well built Tiki bar weighs in at over 1,000 pounds with supports, shelves, drawers and finishing hardware. Load bearing supports placed strategically when designed easily support the thatched roof. Netting over the roof will keep it attached in high winds and allow it to dry without developing mold or getting damaged by water. The sturdy bamboo structures are built to handle the fun loving crowds they attract and any rough play that invariably occurs in the area.
