Crate to cocktails
Unbox it. Flip it up. Pour one.
Off the pallet, wings up, hose in, bar up. About 15 minutes of assembly, room for 96 cans in the fridge, and your backyard just became the place everyone ends up.

01 · The unfold
Wings up. Tower up. Twenty square feet of teak.
The two teak side wings swing up level on their brackets, and the power tower rises from the back shelf. The top becomes 20 square feet of outdoor-treated, food-grade teak butcher block: room to prep, pour and plate in one place.

02 · Game day
Kickoff in the yard.
Bring the TV out and plug it into the power tower: two outlets, USB-A, USB-C and a wireless charger, all on one extension cord, with a Bluetooth speaker built in. The first round waits in the 4.5 cubic foot fridge, the food sits on the teak, and nobody misses a play walking to the kitchen. The TV is yours; the Banger powers it.
03 · The water path
Running water. No plumber, no trench.
Any standard garden hose snaps onto the quick-connect inlet. Water runs up to the faucet, and the sink drains to a 5-gallon bucket or a drain hose. Nothing is plumbed into the house: the hose comes off when you are done.
Skip the plumber, the electrician and the trench

04 · The evening
Let the evening run long.
The trouble with hosting is that the kitchen is indoors. Every trip for a cold drink, a rinse or a charger takes the host away from the table. With the fridge, the sink and the power outside, the host stays out until the last guest goes.
