Go Bar Deck Plans

There are no critical dimensions involved in the construction of the go bar deck but if you want to use commercially available dished work boards 2 in diameter and commercially available go bars 2 long it is best to keep all dimensions at 2.

This is a great way to add some extra seating without adding a large bulky table. A gobar clamping deck is a nifty system for clamping. Or you can make the go bars out of wood. Go bar deck assembly from a sheet of 3 4 plywood cut six pieces each 2 feet x 2 feet.

The inside space is adjustable from 0 to 32 this allows me to use the go bar deck for gluing the top and back to the sides. The holes for the corner rods go through both the the deck and the oak. In guitar building this is key for tasks such as clamping the internal bracing in place more on that in future posts where it is difficult. By bending fiberglass or wood rods between the upper and lower decks it is easy to put pressure just about anywhere you need it.

The upper lower decks are 3 4 inch baltic ply reinforced with 1 by 2 red oak braces in an x pattern across the center of the decks on the outside. I am building a go bar deck and have 3 4 inch baltic birch 24x24. I also have some 1 4 inch baltic birch plywood. If you have a deck then you already have the beginnings of a perfect outdoor bar.

Drill a 1 2 diameter hole in each corner 1 from each edge. I split mine from a straight grained scrap hickory board. No run out no grain figure and even so i broke a couple of them by bending them too far. It is 1 3 8 inch mahogany.

Length is more critical when using wood than when using fiberglass and having a few different lengths for different operations is a good idea. Stack and glue two of the pieces together and stack and glue the other four together the extra thickness is required to give the go bar deck base sufficient stiffness. The go bar deck will seat on my workbench when i am using it. With the addition of some treated wood to match your deck you can easily add a bar that looks like it was built in with the original deck.
