DIY Pallet Bar – Instructions to Make!

 We love spending as much time as we can outside on our deck and patio. Especially now that we have this DIY Pallet Bar to enjoy!

We try to soak up as much outdoor lounging and entertaining as we can. Our deck has been missing one thing though….a bar for relaxed outdoor entertaining! 

Recently we amped up the fun factor by adding this beautiful planked DIY Pallet Bar to our deck. We absolutely love it and today I’m sharing the instructions on how you can make one too!

Love to entertain? Make this DIY Pallet Bar for your deck, patio or man cave! Made with pallet wood in a planked style. Material list & tutorial included! www.settingforfour.com

I used these amazing RYOBI 18V One+ system tools to build our pallet bar.  The fabulous team over at Ryobi sent me these awesome tools – all opinions and expressions are my own.

This tool system comes with a new and improved Lithium plus battery!! So amazing!!  

Ryobi power tools. www.settingforfour.com

We designed our DIY pallet bar not only as an area to serve drinks and food but also to hide a lot of spare electrical outlets that we have sticking out in this area of our deck….which we wanted to cover. This is also the reason we ‘planked’ our bar…to hide all of that stuff! 

This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Here’s how we made it:

Materials list for DIY Pallet Bar:

2 x 36″ long pallet wood 

4 x 32.5″ long pallet wood

4 x 6.5″ long pallet wood 

10 x 9.5″ long pallet wood

13 x 36.5″ long pallet wood

2 x 36.5″ long pallet wood

3″ #8 screws

spring clamps

80 grit sandpaper

measuring tape

carpenter’s pencil

straight edge ruler

11/32 drill bit

Cordless power drill

Circular saw

Nailer

Lithium Battery

Battery Charger

White exterior latex paint (you could use interior latex paint if you are using it indoors or stain it too!)

paint brush

Safety glasses

Hearing protection

Directions:

 Use safety glasses and hearing protection during all steps!

First remove pallet wood from pallets, using pieces that aren’t heavily cracked or splintered.

    I would love to make this bar! We have a fifth wheel at a vets camp, and are in the process of creating a “pub Shed” – this pallet bar would be the perfect thing to have in front of the shed when entertaining.

    Great post, might have to build one of these for our deck! If I won the Ryobi One+ tools I would revamp our outdated sunroom! New drywall cieling, hooks and a chest for better storage! Awesome giveaway!

    What a great little addition to your deck! I created an outdoor bar cart earlier this spring and it’s so handy. Too bad I couldn’t come over for a cocktail. Someday perhaps!
