In short: Ditch the Styrofoam cooler for a custom-built mobile bar cart designed to handle sun, rain, and uneven terrain. This project, demonstrated by Mark Powers, uses cedar and outdoor-grade materials to create a functional, collapsible piece perfect for backyard grilling or tailgate parties.

This mobile cart features two-wheeled construction, allowing it to navigate stone patios and lumpy lawns with ease. Its design includes a removable top tray for serving snacks and drinks, and the entire structure can be disassembled to store flat or fit inside a car trunk.

Building the cart is considered a moderate project, requiring precision and patience, particularly when measuring and notching the legs. The project uses cedar and requires a combination countersink drill bit. The estimated cost for materials is about $160.
