Hi,
I have a pool (billiards) room which is adjacent to our outdoor alfresco area. The pool room has a window so you can see out into the alfresco.
I plan to install a beer fridge in the pool room and would like to convert this window into a bar. First of all, I just thought of removing the security screens and that way you could open the window and people could pass drinks from the pool room out the window to people in the alfresco. I'll also be getting a cabinet maker to add a bench on the outside of the window so it gives it a bar type look.
However, I don't like the sound of removing security screens because obviously they are there to serve a purpose. So I tried to think of another idea. All I can think of is a roller door replacing the window. You know the door which usually protect the canteen at your local footy clubs. This could be locked and the house would still be "burglar safe" and this could just be opened when I have people over etc.
A few questions:
1. Do people think this sounds like a reasonable idea?
2. Anyone know of a respectable company that could sell/install this in place of my current window? (I live in Brisbane)
3. Does anyone have any better suggestions how I could achieve what I'm after?
Thanks very much!!!!!
