How to Care for Your Pop-Up Bar
Pop-up bars are made with industrial steel, durable parts, and a resilient powder coat finish. Additionally, they’re built to travel and will last for years after many uses.
Smaller models easily fold down to flat, easy-to-load pieces with industrial strength casters to transport. Meanwhile, the powder coat finish protects its luxurious appearance when storing or transporting between events.
Follow the instructions for each model to open or assemble the bar. Avoid applying unnecessary force to eliminate damage. When handled correctly, the bar should open and fold down with ease.
It’s recommended to wipe down the bar after each use. Clean and sanitize the bar counter, shelves, cutting boards, and removable features. Keep the bar sanitary after each use and ready for the next party.
Large modular pop-up bars come with protective cases to transport the sections and protect them from dings and scratches. The modular pieces stack, store flat, and can be transported in the back of a truck. Use the protective cases to keep your bar in top condition as it’s stored or moved between events.
