Keep a compact bar easy to serve
Six by four feet can make a tidy garden bar when the serving area stays uncluttered and supplies are stored within reach. Wooden and plastic buildings use apex or pent roofs. Check where the door opens, leave standing room outside and prepare a suitable base before delivery. Any lighting or sockets need thought before the interior is finished. For layout ideas, read the garden bar guide.
We earn a commission from the retailer if you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It never affects which garden bars we show or how we compare them. Prices were checked on 7 November 2026 and may have changed, so check the retailer before you buy.
The base you will need
A 6 x 4 ft garden bar needs a firm, level base at least 6 x 4 ft. Most guarantees depend on it. A concrete slab or paving lasts longest. A plastic grid filled with gravel is quicker, drains well and needs no concrete.

Planning permission and Building Regulations
- Most garden buildings do not need planning permission in England and Wales if they are behind the front of the house and, with any other outbuildings, cover no more than half the garden.
- Within 2 m of a boundary the whole building, base included, must be no taller than 2.5 m. Further away, the limit is 4 m for an apex roof or 3 m for other roofs, and the eaves must stay under 2.5 m. Check the height on the product page before you order.
- At about 2.2 m², a garden bar this size is exempt from Building Regulations as long as nobody sleeps in it.
- A private bar for friends and family is incidental use. Selling alcohol needs a premises licence, and late-night noise can lead to complaints.
