Factors that will heavily influence the design and features of your covered bar area are space and functionality.
In a smaller, limited space, you'll want to maximize functionality and choose furnishings that fit comfortably without overcrowding. Consider foldable or stackable furniture to save space when not in use. However, a larger space provides more opportunities for creativity and customization.
Regardless of the size of the space, Valley Patios can provide a custom Alumawood patio cover to enhance the area. Incorporating lighting into the roof can be a great addition for ambience and functionality. We’ll be posting on our blog in the future about some lighting options, so make sure to check back in at a later date.
Here are some ideas to consider:
Entertainment Hub: If your primary goal is to entertain friends and family, focus on creating a welcoming and sociable atmosphere. Consider adding a variety of seating options and entertainment features like TVs, sound systems, and outdoor games. An insulated roof Alumawood patio cover would be a great option for this type of an entertainment area in order to keep the rain off of any electrical equipment while also providing additional cooling.

Outdoor Kitchen Extension: If your outdoor bar will be an extension of your outdoor kitchen, ensure it's equipped with the necessary amenities for food preparation and cooking. Adding a grill, sink, and ample counter space are definitely items to consider. In a grilling area, Valley Patios typically recommends an Alumawood lattice patio cover to allow the BBQ smoke to flow through the ceiling more easily.
