The mud-bar is an outdoor play station where kids can really use their imagination and utilize a lot of the things they find outdoors to make mud-pies and flower casseroles. This is a great project to utilize reclaimed wood and lumber you may have lying around. We are building ours from reclaimed decking boards most decking boards are 5 1/2” wide. (Keep in mind to check for lead paint, old hardware and nails and screws should be removed).
