The rise of the garden bar has been one of the biggest trends of the past 12 months.
With pubs and bars off the cards for much of the last year, the number of people deciding to build their own has skyrocketed.
Whether its a sanctuary to relax with family, entertain guests, or recreating a favourite haunt, lockdown has inspired some wonderfully creative redecorating projects.
And one married couple have taken it to the next level.
Amy Octavia-Casey and Mark Casey, from Wigan, have built up a huge social media following of admiring fans on the back of their incredible mini garden pub transformations.
It all started when Amy, who runs her own furniture painting business called Octavia Chic, and Mark, a joiner by trade, decided to combine their talents by turning a workshop in their home into a Spanish restaurant last year.
"I just used stuff we had around the house and garden to create it," explained Amy. "We didn't spend a single penny on it."
When Amy shared pictures of the revamp on Facebook, an impressed friend asked her to build a pub in her back garden.
They agreed, and spent weeks building, painting and designing the interior of what would become The Drunken Crab.
Kitted out like a traditional boozer, the end result went viral on Facebook and led to the couple being swamped with requests from around the world.
"Everyone was missing the pub at that time," said Amy.
"It was the only pub open in the world. The post went crazy."
Amy and Mark now hope to make a living from their incredible talents.
The couple have since completed a further five pubs and are hard at work on another, a Cornish-style country pub named the Jolly Roger.

Recently, they converted a double garage into the Snake and Rooster pub in just ten weeks.
The brightly coloured interior comes complete with taps, bar stools, a TV, fireplace and a personalised sign hanging outside.
It also features a darts board on one wall, and there is even a dance floor with a disco ball fixed above it.
Unsurprisingly, it takes several weeks to get the pubs into shape.
Despite the huge volume of requests they receive, the couple try to stick to jobs in the North West.
"There's just the two of us," Amy explained.
"We are booked up for the rest of the year.
"Each one has been different so far. They just tell me the name of the pub and a bit about their design brief, then I create it.
"A lot of people don't want to see it until it is complete so we cover it up."
So far, Amy says, everyone has been 'amazed' at seeing the finished product.
She believes the demand for garden pubs is only going to continue as people look for more ways to entertain themselves at home.
"It's a sense of having people round at your house instead of going out," she said.
"It's good for people with young families. They can have celebrations at home and it's just an extra form of entertainment."
