Balcony Bar

Instructions

1. 1Create the frame of the bar

   Take the 2 back legs and attach the corresponding corbels using exterior pocket screws. The 7"x11" corbel should be flush with the top, while the 5"x8" corbel should be placed 11" from the bottom of the back legs. When attaching the corbels place in the center of the 2x2 back legs.

2. 2Bar top assembly

   • Assemble the bar top by creating the frame of the top by connecting the 2x2 end rails with the 1x3 top fillers.
   • Next line up and screw the 1x3 slats in place. Ensure the slats are even before screwing in place and spaced out 3/16".

3. 3Foot rest assembly

   Assemble the foot rest by butting the 1x3 slats up against one another and linking together with 4 - 1x2 braces. Keep in mind the two end braces should be 1 1/16" from the edges.

4. 4Back assembly

   • Assemble the back of the bar top by starting with the 2 1x2 back slats.
   • Attach using pocket screws to the 2 back braces.
   • Then cap the ends with the back rails.
   • Space the rails by 3/8".

5. 5Attaching the bar

   • Now assemble the balcony bar from the top down, starting by screwing the bar top in place. It should be flush with the two legs.
   • Add metal corner braces under the bar top for additional support given the length of the bar.

6. 6Attaching the foot rest

   Attach the foot rest to the bottom corbels and center the front leg under the foot rest.

7. 7Attaching the back

   Attach the back of the bar top using wood glue and screws. And you are done. Use the appropriate sized U-Bolts for your deck or balcony and secure the bar to your balcony or deck railing.
