Man Cave Setup Guide — Fridges, Stools, Signs & Everything You Need
A great man cave isn't built in a day — but it starts with the right gear. Whether you're converting a garage, spare room, or shed into your personal retreat, the essentials are the same: a solid bar fridge, comfortable seating, and the details that make it yours.
This guide covers everything from fridge selection to bar stools, mats, and custom branding — with real product recommendations at every price point.
The Fridge: Your Man Cave Centrepiece
The bar fridge sets the tone. It's the first thing people notice and the thing you'll use every day.
Best Man Cave Fridges by Budget
Budget (~$400–$600): The Schmick HUS-SC50AB ($417) is a glass door 50L mini that looks premium, has LED lighting, and locks. Perfect as a starter fridge or secondary unit. For more capacity, the EC68-SSH ($595.65) offers 70L with tropical rating.
Mid-range (~$900–$1,500): The Schmick JC165B ($1,489) is the all-rounder — 165L dual zone (beer and wine), fits under a bar counter, heated glass door. If you're building a proper bar setup, this is the one.
Premium (~$1,500–$2,500): The Schmick SK246-B-HD ($1,707.15) gives you twin doors and 257L of capacity with heated black glass. For the ultimate statement, the HUS-SC700W ($1,927) is a full 737L commercial upright — a wall of cold drinks with glass door and LED lighting.
Branded Fridges
Want a fridge that represents your team, favourite brand, or business? We carry pre-branded fridges featuring Carlton, VB, Great Northern, Holden, and more. Or go fully custom — upload your logo and we'll create a free mockup showing your branding on any compatible fridge.
Bar Stools: Comfortable Seating That Fits the Theme
No bar is complete without stools. Our gas-lift bar stools are height-adjustable (suitable for both standard bar counters at 1,050mm and kitchen islands at 900mm) and feature padded swivel seats — check the product page for the manufacturer's weight rating.
Popular branded stools ($249 each): - Kenworth Truck retro stool - XXXX Gold premium stool - Bundaberg Rum premium stool - Harley Davidson, Ford, Holden, Jim Beam, and many more
Custom branded stools — Add your own logo, team crest, or design to the seat top. Upload your artwork and we'll create a free mockup.
Bar stool + table packages start from around $899 for a branded table with two matching stools — a complete seating setup in one order.
Bar Mats & Runners: The Finishing Touch
A rubber-backed bar mat protects your bar top, absorbs drips, and adds character. At $79.97 each, they're one of the most affordable ways to level up your man cave.
Popular mats: XXXX, Great Northern, Toyota Land Cruiser, Beer Labels design, Jack Daniels, Guinness, VB, Carlton, Wild Turkey, Jim Beam, and dozens more.
All mats are rubber-backed (non-slip), easy to clean, and printed with UV-resistant inks.
