Why Timber Taverns

Built the way it should be.

There’s no shortage of garden bar kits out there. Most are thin kits you assemble yourself, and they look it within a season. We do the opposite: proper timber, proper joints, proper craft. One bar, made for you, made to stand for decades.

44 to 100mm spruce

Seriously thick timber

Construction-grade spruce, the same material that frames houses. No flex, no warp, no wobble. Lean on it, pile onto it, spill your best whiskey on it. It won’t care.

Made to measure

Completely bespoke

Awkward corner? Sloped garden? A very particular vision? Every bar is built to your exact dimensions. You bring the space, we bring the skill.

Oiled, painted or both

Made for Irish weather

Slow-grown, dense Irish spruce, treated to shrug off the rain and wind. Oiled, painted or both, the finish is worked into the build from the start.

Delivered and built by us

Built on site

Each bar is built in our workshop, taken down for transport, and put back together in your garden by us. No kit, no instructions, nothing for you to assemble.

Timber and finish

Timber and finish, in detail.

Timber

44 to 100mm construction-grade, kiln-dried Irish spruce. Certified structural material, not decorative cladding.

Weatherproofing

Treated and oiled, or painted, to handle Irish rain and wind. We’ll advise the finish that suits your spot.

Care

A re-oil or re-coat every so often and it’ll outlast everything around it. We’ll tell you exactly how.

Limited builds

The workshop only accepts a few builds at a time.

Every bar is hand-made, so we cap how many we take on at once. Book a Design Consultation and get your garden ready for the long evenings.
