Easy DIY Projects

We build a tiki bar using recycled pallet wood to add to our off grid cabin site in the forest. For the first part of the building process we break the pallets down in our garage, using power tools to help speed up the process as we wanted to build this whole project in one day. The pallets we reclaimed for free from various industrial sites. This helped us to save money. Once we had cut and measured the pallets to size, we began building some bar stools from parts of pallet wood. We then sized up the frame for the bar itself. With this part of the building completed, we carried the wood into the forest to start work on building the tiki bar itself. We nailed the basic frame together, and then put some timber support poles for the wood roof. Using wide pieces of pallet wood, we built the roof of the tiki bar using the simple frame that we had made. We then made a small floor area out the front of the bar.
With the main build complete, we added some willow screening to the front of the bar to make the pallets less visible. We then added a few small shelves to put bottles on.
With the tiki bar in the woods now complete, we got the campfire going and cooked up a bbq on the cast iron grill and cooking tripod. The meal was burgers with cheese, and chicken and chorizo kebabs on the grill. We finished off the episode with some theory time.

The aim of this wilderness project was to build a small, one man tiny cabin from recycled pallet wood. The homestead site itself now has the pallet cabin complete with raised bed, woodstove, shelves, book case, folding table, plus a raised vegetable bed, front porch, bench, pallet picket fence and outdoor washing area.
