Backyard Container Bar: Delivered. Dropped. Let’s go.
Picture this: it’s Friday arvo. The group chat’s going off, the playlist’s queued, and the chilly bin’s loaded. But instead of heading into town (or debating who’s driving), you slide open your very own backyard container bar and kick the night off at home.
That’s the magic of a Hideout Co backyard container bar, it’s not just a bar, it’s a full backyard upgrade. Suddenly your place is the place. No bookings, no bouncers, no “sorry we’re closed”… just you, your mates, and a setup that feels like your own mini venue in your own backyard.

How do we get it from being built to our home?
Great question. Your Hideout can be delivered straight to your place and dropped into position, with delivery able to be built into the price. Our team will chat through access, where you’d like it to go, and how it’ll work with the sun, flow, and your existing outdoor area.
In most cases, we’ll even come out and check the space to make sure everything’s all set for install.
In other words: you pick your bar (Basic, Premium, or Deluxe), and we help take it from “that looks cool online” to “it’s actually in my backyard.”
Ready to bring the bar home?
Whether you’re starting with Basic, stepping up to Premium, or going full-send with Deluxe, the goal is the same:
Make your backyard the place where the best nights happen.
