Materials

Bar sets are available in a wide range of materials, depending on your style there may be one which suits your requirements and needs better than others. Typically, outdoor bar sets are available in one of four predominant materials;

·         Aluminium

·         Rattan

·         Outdoor Fabric

·         Rope Weave

It&#;s quite common for materials to be mixed with one another or complimented with an additional alternative material to contrast or add to the overall style. Of our range of bar sets, examples of this are;

·         Aluminium Frame/Ceramic Tabletop/Outdoor Fabric Upholstery

·         Rope Weave/Aluminium Frame/Teak Tabletop

·         Aluminium Frame/Outdoor Fabric Upholstery/Aluminium Tabletop

·         Rattan/Aluminium Frame/Tempered Glass Tabletop

·         Aluminium Frame/Teak Tabletop/Outdoor Fabric Upholstery

Features

Our outdoor bar sets come with a few different features which individually enhance the dining/drinking experience for those using it. Of course, if you want a simply, no frills, bar set we have you covered but if you want an added something you might want to look at sets with one of the below;

·         Fire Pit Table

·         Ice Bucket

·         Parasol Compatible

Features with fire pits add an eye catching focal point to the outdoor space as well as adding warmth, light and overall ambience to the area. Ice Buckets offer more in terms of functionality as you can stay in your seat and take a drink at your leisure without the need to grab another beer form the house or refrigerator. Parasol compatible bar sets, of course, aren&#;t available with fire pit and ice bucket sets, but do add something the other two can&#;t, the option of shade.

Styles

The bar sets we retail come in three differing styles; seriously contemporary, nice and traditional and a flexible style which could suit modern or traditional style gardens. Rattan for example is very much a traditional looking material and could look a little out of place in a modern contemporary garden. They also look a little less sleek and are generally bulkier than their modern competitors. If you have a modern garden, you want to take a look at a bar set featuring aluminum. Whether that&#;s a mixture of aluminum and teak, aluminum and outdoor fabric or aluminum and rope weave, all three will suit various styles of modern gardens.

Colours

Of course, colour plays a big part in a piece of furnitures suitability in your garden. If you have a very neutral coloured garden, you don&#;t want to add a set which has a vastly contrasting colour which also clashes with other furniture and features of your garden. For example, if you have a nice traditional Cotswold style garden, bathed in warm Cotswold style warm beige tones, a dark grey piece of furniture is going to stand out like a sore thumb. Pairing your Cotswold garden with a neutral coloured rattan bar set will achieve the perfect combination of materials, colours and styles and help them to blend in with one another and look like it belongs where it is.

Longevity

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from e-lansure.

When picking any piece of furniture, especially if you&#;re investing a larger sum of money into it, build quality and longevity is something well worth considering. Manufacturers will always rave about the quality of their products, and rightly so, as the vast majority are all very well built and scream quality. However, when considering your bar set purchase you might want to have a think about how long its likely to last. Rattan, if left uncovered in the elements for long periods, has a drastically reduced lifespan versus a hard wearing material such as aluminum for example. Teak topped tables look stunning, but they do take some ongoing maintenance to keep the original look and to make them last as long as possible.

So what&#;s our pick of the bunch?

It&#;s hard to choose as we do have a wide range on offer so we&#;ll split it into three categories based upon your style of garden.

If you have a modern contemporary garden, there&#;s only one choice for us, the Harbour Lifestyle Luna 6 Seat Teak Firepit Bar Set

If you have a more traditional garden, we&#;d suggest looking at the Maze Winchester 6 Seat Rattan Bar Set with Ice Bucket.

And if you&#;re looking for something in between, it has to be the Harbour Lifestyle Kalama 6 Seat Rectangular Bar Set with Teak Table.

For skilled home mixologists, a bar for outdoor entertaining is a must. If you've got a built-in bar in your backyard, it's a waste without outdoor bar seating. Your guests will love sitting at your bar while you serve them mojitos and palomas. A bar-height outdoor table is a great substitute if you don't have a bar.


For a larger outdoor space, it can be challenging to know how to furnish it. Decorators recommend creating a few defined activity areas, and a bar is a great choice that instantly makes the space feel more fun. For a large backyard, you might have an outdoor dining area, lounge area, and bar.

So Many Styles of Outdoor Patio Furniture for Your Bar


When people talk about outdoor bar furniture, they're referring to bar tables and chairs made from materials suitable for outdoor use. Bar-height tables or "pub tables" are between 40 and 42 inches in height. Chairs are considered bar height if they fall between 28 to 30 inches tall. Luxury bar furniture is made from materials like fine teak and premium outdoor wicker. It looks chic, reminds people of fun in the sun, and can stand up to pool water and outdoor elements.


Built-in bars are a big trend in outdoor home spaces. They may be part of an outdoor kitchen complete with a sink, fridge, oven, grill, and other conveniences we associate with indoor dining.

Whether you're making cocktails for friends or serving up steaks fresh off the grill to your family, bar chairs help you enjoy this cool feature of your home.


Outdoor bar chairs and stools are designed to work with bars and bar-height tables. Stools work well in tight spaces because they can be tucked under the table or bar when not in use. Bar chairs usually have a chair back for added comfort. Some bar chairs feature weather-resistant outdoor cushions.


If you don't have a built-in bar, an outdoor bar table works just as well. These tables are available in round, square, and rectangular shapes. Round bar tables make it easy for everyone to get in on the conversation, and since there are no corners to waste space, it's a good table shape for a more compact area. Square bar tables also work well in smaller spaces and are great for gathering a few close friends. Rectangular bar tables allow you to seat more guests, and they fit perfectly in more lengthened outdoor spaces. Extendable bar tables are great for versatility and can be expanded for entertaining.

Tips and Tricks: Get the Perfect Patio Furniture for Your Outdoor Bar


Putting together your outdoor bar takes some planning. We've got a few tips to help choose the right outdoor bar furniture.

  1. Measure your space. It's so frustrating to order furniture and realize it's too large or small for the area once it's delivered. Getting out your measuring tape before clicking "add to cart" is a good idea.
  2. Pick bar furniture that fits with your other outdoor décor. If you're starting from scratch, you have a blank canvas, but when you add new furniture piece by piece, you'll want to make sure nothing you buy clashes with what you've already got.
  3. Create continuity with your indoor space. You don't have to match exactly your indoor and outdoor furniture, but more and more, people want these spaces to feel connected. You can get in on this trend of seamless indoor and outdoor spaces by choosing outdoor furniture with cushions that coordinate with your indoor color scheme.
  4. Get inspiration from outdoor bars. Was there a cool outdoor bar at the hotel you went to on your last vacation? Does the trendiest restaurant in town have a cool patio bar you love? If so, stop by or look at pictures online for inspiration.

With these tips, you're sure to take your outdoor dining and entertaining to the next level.
