Britain’s biggest family the Radfords reveal exactly how they built their garden bar & all you need is some wood & paint
AS BRITAIN sizzles in a much needed weekend heatwave, you may be wondering to how to spruce up your garden.
Britain’s biggest family the Radfords did just that last summer with an epic outdoor home bar – and now they’ve revealed their method.
Mum-of-22 Sue posted a new video on the family’s YouTube channel this week, called “6 Amazing Moments From Summer 2020!”
And among her highlights was building the bar – a project done by dad Noel with kids Chloe, now 25, and James, 17.
In the new clip, they explain the method behind the latest DIY project.
Chloe explains: “I saw on Facebook a garden bar and I tagged dad in it, saying jokingly ‘this is our next project’.
“Mum commented saying ‘oh my God yes!’ We thought ‘this is going to be a challenge to try and get Dad to agree to this’. But he’s actually more excited for it than we are.”
Noel adds: “We have absolutely no idea what we’re doing. We’ve bought some wood and Chloe’s seen a picture she quite liked on NoseyBook somewhere.
“We’re going to copy that as best as we can. So we’ll just see how we get on.”
Noel starts by measuring out the frame, with Chloe as the ‘barmaid’ standing inside it for height.
A measuring tape, hammer, electric drill and stepladder are all he needs to put everything together.
The dad-of-22 also adds a wooden roof, to protect the bar’s contents during those rainy British days.
And a hidden door on the bar lets the family come and go when they’re thirsty.
If you want to copy the Radford’s design exactly, all you need is some white and blue paint to finish it off.
It’s not a bar without Nobby’s Nuts. I’m very proud of this. I think we’ve absolutely smashed it

Showing off the final look, Noel says: “So guys, we are finished. Painted, stocked it up. There’s a bit of grass on the floor, the same we have out front.
“Then we’ve got some glasses up there, some of those things (optic drinks dispensers), certainly not for the kids that’s for sure.
“There’s the kids’ corner (with Fruit Shoots and jellies), then we’ve got some Nobby’s Nuts.”
“It’s not a bar without Nobby’s Nuts,” Chloe adds. “I’m very proud of this. I think we’ve absolutely smashed it.”
The family also added a Budweiser sign, a bell for “last orders” and a pink LED flamingo.
