How to Create an Inviting Beer Garden


It's that time of year again where you have to start thinking about your garden for the summer. Here are some ideas:

First Outside the gardens are areas

First and foremost, a garden connected with the pub, bar or restaurant should feel like a garden, not in the internal space. Many owners try to keep interior finish out that defeats the purpose of the Garden atmosphere. The garden should have external features such as stone and brick and furniture should look like furniture. On my travels I found many beer gardens with wood and fabric covered metal bar stools - they are trying to look indoors. Instead, try to accept an open garden atmosphere, working with a variety of materials and finishes that are available to transform a bland space into an exciting experience Alfresco.

Second STYLE

Decide on your style or theme, and then do some research.

Look at the buildings and walls - are there any existing features that may dictate the style or that can be decorated?

Keep a running theme from inside to outside - for example, if you have an art deco interior and then try to incorporate Art Deco statues, tiles or lights off than to be general garden. Similarly, if a traditional pub with a lot of bric-a-Brac then carry external bric-a-Brac channels.

Third TIME

Time considerations

Glare / heat factor: the use of canopies, planting or colored glass to diffuse.

Wind: using wind breakers. Everything can be designed to reduce the wind factor - Willow fences, metal or wood frames with glass or canvas wind breaker. Recently I designed trellis planter, and since it is on wheels, it is a mobile that worked very well for my client.

When deciding on the position of the seat for your consideration in which direction the wind is coming from.

Rain: Provide adequate coverage for smokers in adverse weather conditions. In especially humid climates, a permanent solution as a fixed glass in wood or glass box will be much more sustainable than the canvas tents. Glass means that the daylight / sun can get through that is important in these hot summer days. If it gets too hot and bright it out blinds can be fitted.

4th REGULATIONS

Before any construction is important to know what your local laws. In Ireland, the guidelines for the coverage area is described as a bus shelter where the roof covers an area that has walls that are 50% open and closed 50%.

5th Smokers

Share smokers from nonsmokers, if you have the space.

Opening windows may not be an option as the smoke can be drawn into the interior, and customers do not like this.

Provide ashtrays on the tables and a few buckets of sand from the place where cigarette butts can be taken during cleaning.

6th Ugly areas

Make sure the views are good, and not the bin / trash areas or car parks. Use Screening with plants or wood fencing to hide unsightly areas.

7th LIGHTING

Again use the outdoor elements that suit your style, whether modern or traditional. Lights can be integrated into all kinds of things and places. Try to open ROPE LED lights Skirtings below low or above the wall for a nice warm glow. You can often find a fitting which lights up and down this way receives a double benefit. Choose lighting that will create an atmosphere without giving your customers a headache from the glare. Candles always look fab in the garden is set in a simple glass jam jars, antique bird cages or screens or metal objects. If you have an open bar would glow in the dark with candles and LED strip lights.

8th OUTDOOR BARS

Check local laws about it - in many cases, external tape must be placed in free space of smoke or a person serving in the bar will be subjected to smoke inhalation. If you use wood, use or appropriate outdoor teak wood with as little detail as possible, so that water does not collect in its crevices. The use of wood in the open means you have to commit to maintaining it. Being under all weather conditions, which means that the end use must be at the top regularly. Stone counter tops are great because the water flows. Use locks and under counter refrigerator unit for safety. Ensure that a permanent cap over the Bar and the customer, so that the counter can be used in all weather conditions.

9th PLANTING

Flowers make people laugh and go crazy with them! Use colors to suit your garden on a pallet. It's always good to have several varieties in plantations or pot just in case one of them fail. You can plant flowers in until there are holes for the discharge of water - cans, bicycles, beds ... have a look at these ideas. Ask your plumber to install a sprinkler system to bring the timer is set to feeds running on all your plants and flowers. Can be set to water at night, so that leakage of water will disappear by morning. Change your plants to ivy and small trees such as box hedges in the winter for evergreen look.

I recommend that you hire a designer that takes you through all this. And experts suggest it is worth and can usually agree with the designers and the level they get involved to suit your budget.
