- A Space to Entertain – Perfect for parties, BBQs or quiet nights in with friends.
- Tailored to You – Choose the size, internal and external finishes to suit your space and style.
- Adds Value to Your Home – A well-designed garden bar is both a lifestyle upgrade and an investment.

Bespoke Garden Bar Options
Every garden and every customer is different, which is why we build each garden bar to order in our North Devon workshop. You can choose from our classic timber range or the low-maintenance ZERO composite range, both designed and constructed by our skilled craftspeople.
Timber Garden Bar
Traditional charm with natural warmth. Our timber garden bars are built from sustainable materials, with a variety of internal lining options available to complement your home and garden. Choose your preferred roof style, door type and window layout to make the building truly yours.
ZERO Composite Garden Bar
For those who prefer a contemporary finish and minimal maintenance, the ZERO composite range offers clean lines and a sleek aesthetic. It’s fully insulated, highly durable, and requires virtually no upkeep, while still providing that handmade quality Shields is known for.
Both options come with a wide choice of interior and exterior details so you tailor your buildings to suit your needs.
Product Options
The Base
A solid foundation that ensures your building remains stable and level. We’ll advise on the best base type for your site and prepare it as part of your installation. This is also included in our costs as standard.
The Roof
Choose from a pent sloped or apex pitched roof, each crafted for durability and visual appeal.
The Exterior Finishes
Select from natural timber with two coats of a clear waterproofer to preserve the character of the wood as standard, painted and stained upgrades are available, or vertical composite cladding
The Interior
From internal lining and shelving to lighting and flooring, every detail can be tailored. All power sockets are included ready for your refrigeration units to create the perfect entertaining setup.
Additional Options
Integrate a decking area for outdoor seating, creating a flow between your inside and outdoor entertaining space. Your bar can also double as a garden room, office or lounge when not in use.
