Tagged: beach bar, home bar, paul tollefson, personal bar, tiki bar
The first person I featured in my “We Built Our Own Beach Bar” series was Paul Tollefson. Back then, he lived in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina but in the years since, has moved “across the bridge” to Bluffton. Not one to give up his beach bar lifestyle too easily just because of a move, Paul decided to build another one at his new home. There was only one problem – his backyard was nothing but woods, blanketing the lagoon they...

After reading some of the comments on his pictures, I finally had to ask “This is in your backyard?!” He confirmed that and I knew I had the next article in my “We Built Our Own Beach Bar” column....

The latest personal tiki/beach bar comes to me from Tim McDaniel, whose beach bar may not be the fanciest but it’s portable and when you have a beach bar you can take with you, you and I are going to become BFFs. Tim’s portable tiki bar is made with PVC and consists of a folding table, tiki thatch, a roll of split bamboo, a few bungee cords and a vinyl sign. That screams ingenuity! He states that “The name Happy Day...
