How to Keep Your Backyard Oasis Looking Like a Resort All Year Long
At paradisetikibars.com, we believe your outdoor space should feel like an escape—a tropical getaway where the worries of the world melt away. Whether you’re the proud owner of one of our custom-built tiki bars or you’re considering adding one to your outdoor living space, understanding how to maintain your tiki bar year after year is key to keeping that paradise vibe alive.
Yearly Maintenance Checklist for Your Paradise Tiki Bar
Spring: The Wake-Up Call
- Inspect the structure. Check for any winter damage, especially if your tiki bar is exposed to snow or heavy rain.
- Clean the surfaces. Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean bamboo, wood, and bar surfaces.
- Check for pests. Spring is when termites and carpenter bees become active—treat affected areas early.
Summer: Peak Paradise
- Oil or seal wood. If your bar uses natural wood, sealing it in summer protects it from the sun and humidity.
- Wipe down weekly. A quick wipe of your bar and stools with a damp cloth keeps things looking fresh.
Fall: Prepping for the Off-Season
- Store or cover cushions. Prolong fabric life by storing cushions and soft goods in a dry space or using waterproof covers.
- Clean gutters or drainage areas nearby. Water buildup around your tiki bar can damage the foundation or wood.
Winter: Protecting Your Investment
- Use weatherproof covers to protect your tiki bar from snow, ice, and wind.
- Avoid plastic tarps. They trap moisture—use breathable materials instead.
- Store electronics. Any lighting, speakers, or TVs should be disconnected and stored indoors to prevent damage.
Final Thoughts
Owning a tiki bar is about more than entertaining—it’s about creating a personal sanctuary. A little maintenance goes a long way toward preserving the magic. With the right care, your Paradise Tiki Bar will continue to turn your backyard into a tropical destination year after year.
