Bar Sheds

A garden shed bar is designed to serve as a mini bar in your back garden. 

These sheds often include a bar area and shelves to store all of your alcoholic drinks. Shed bars have become popular in the UK, transforming gardens into pub-like atmospheres during the summer.

On average, garden shed bars start from around £500 for basic models. For a larger and more elaborate design, you’re looking at paying £1000-£2000.

Of course, the cost depends on the size, materials, and complexity of the shed bar.

No! As long as your shed follows the building regulations, then you don’t need planning permission for a garden bar. 

These regulations state that the shed must be single-story, not exceed a height of 2.5 meters, and must not exceed 50% of the land surrounding your house.

If you have a small garden, a bar shed that is 6ft x 4ft or 8ft x 6ft will be able to accommodate 1-2 people. 

For social gatherings, a 10ft x 8ft or 12ft x 10ft shed will be able to accommodate 6-8 people, with plenty of space for a counter, seating, storage, and decor. A large garden shed (14ft x 12ft or bigger) can host 10+ people with plenty of space for drinking and entertainment.

To keep your garden bar secure, opt for high-quality, robust locks to prevent intruders from getting in, and make sure you lay a secure foundation. This will prevent movement or toppling due to harsh weather. 

An alarm and motion-sensor lighting will alert you to any trespassers in your garden, keeping any items inside the shed safe from theft.

If you’re going to invest in a garden bar shed, you may as well have some fun with it! 

Bringing a theme to your shed, such as a traditional pub interior or a tiki bar with tropical elements, will make having guests around more enjoyable. 

You could even turn it into a sports bar with a TV to watch football games with the lads and some comfy chairs for a great viewing experience. It’s a great way to save money than going to the actual pub!
