DIY: 3 Ideas For a Backyard Pub Shed

By John Hawthorne

A grown up version of a tree house is the garden pub shed, which is fast becoming a popular way to get that extra bit of value out of your home property. First, you need to think about what you want to build and the overall theme for your pub shed. For some it will be utility over comfort, while others will prefer a more personal feeling. So hopefully between the examples given below, you will find a bit of inspiration if you are interested in building one of your own.

Our first example is the ultimate in function, as it is primarily a brewing facility right on your own property. Endless conversations can be had as you guide your guest through the process and you sample the various wares. This style of pub shed should have the majority of space given to brewing and bottling, with a separate area for relaxing and enjoying the end result.

DIY Outdoor Stove, Oven, Grill and Smoker—All For Only $300

By Owen Geiger

(Mother Earth News) This DIY, wood-fired, outdoor masonry stove can be used four ways: for baking, grilling, cooking, and smoking. Whatever your cooking needs, our outdoor stove/oven/grill/smoker can do it, thanks to interchangeable grill grates and griddle surfaces. If you want to grill steaks or fish, use the grill grate. If you want to bake bread, slide on the steel griddle, stack some bricks on top to retain heat and add the door to hold in the heat. If you want to use the stove top, just slide the metal plate (or griddle) over the top of the firebox.
