Tiki Bar Designs
Considerable thought goes into Tiki Bar designs, not only the structure of the bar but all the décor, bar tending devices, lighting and surrounding areas need careful consideration and planning. We will discuss each of the various aspects of Tiki bar designs in a bit more detail.
Structure:
If you are aiming to recapture the atmosphere of the original Tiki Bar then a thatch roof on your bar is an absolute must. The bar counter and structured sides can be built using wood or bamboo. If you are a lover of wooden furniture then it is recommended that outdoor Tiki Bars be built with either red or white cedar wood or cypress. These woods are particularly suitable for weathering the outdoors and will last for many years if properly cared for.

Unless you are an experienced carpenter it is not recommended that you attempt this project without professional plans.
Décor:

Whether it's authentic or reproduced, a small mask or a large wooden statue, the tiki is a great symbol of the primitive way of life that the tiki bar makes so attractive.
Bar Tending Devices:
Not all Tiki Bar designs make allowance for shelving or cabinets that are almost indispensable for storage of your bar tending devices.

It is recommended that you equip yourself with at least a basic bar set consisting of a shaker, strainer and a bar spoon. Tiki mugs are also an integral part of the island theme associated with Tiki bars.

Your choice of lighting will be determined by whether you make use of one of the Tiki Bar designs that include electrical outlets. The variety of electrical and fuelled Tiki lights and torches available on the market is excellent and you are sure to find Tiki lights and torches that appeal to you that will match the rest of the décor that you have chosen.
Area surrounding your Tiki Bar:
When choosing Tiki bar designs remember to take the area in which you wish to place your Tiki Bar into consideration.
