We have an above ground pool – and we LOVE it! However, you’ll usually see us swimming around holding our beverages because…. we have NO place to set them down!
Sure gets annoying so sometimes we back the truck up to a side of the pool and use the truck bed – yep, kinda redneck, but hey… I live in the South soooo…. haha!
THIS year, I am determined to create some sort of bar area for our above ground pool layout… and I sure found some fabulous ideas for inspiration!

But, they’re all really good ideas to create an above ground pool bar layout!
Hope they help you, too!
