Tiki unique, custom made patio and tiki hut bars

About Us

Hello, my name is Lance De Pender.  Thank you so much for visiting my Tiki Unique site!  I'm a carpenter by trade and formerly a licensed builder from Michigan.  I currently reside in the quaint small town of Avon Park, Florida, affectionately known as the "city of charm".  After making my escape to the sunshine state, I turned my carpentry skills and my tropical bamboozlement into a business where I create my own unique, handcrafted tiki bar designs, and also collaborate with my clients to develop individually tailored custom bar designs. 

    Whether it's tailoring one of my designs to specifically suit your space or a completely custom project, my initial focus is to first have a dialogue with each customer so we can create a bar or table design that is best suited to meet their functional needs and aesthetic desires. After the design hits the workshop floor, I dedicate myself to handcrafting a solid, fully sealed, beautiful piece of furniture that, with a modicum of care, will last as an heirloom.       

      Because I'm a single proprietor, my attention to detail, and my desire to build bars that will last to be gathered around for innumerable good times in the future, I'm only able to build a limited number of unique Tiki Bars, for a small clientele, who believe it's worth a short wait time to have a high quality, handcrafted Tiki Unique bar, custom made just for them, to be the centerpiece of their outdoor patio or indoor entertainment space.
