My Outdoor Kitchen Build

[jhonson]

Your outdoor kitchen sounds fantastic! I’ve been working on a similar project, and I’ve found that having a retractable awning over the cooking area is a game-changer. It keeps everything dry and makes it easier to cook in different weather. I also added some extra storage space for all my grilling tools.

Last year, I did a renovation in my garden and installed some iron furniture. Iron furniture is a fantastic choice because it's incredibly durable and can withstand various weather conditions, making it perfect for outdoor settings.

Plus, it adds a stylish and timeless look to your space. If you're looking for high-quality options, you might find some great pieces at this site

For a setup like yours, consider using durable materials like stainless steel for appliances and countertops. Also, ensure you have proper ventilation and weather protection, especially for your barbecue and wok burner. For the seating area, comfortable and weather-resistant furniture will enhance the overall experience. You might also want to integrate some lighting and heating options to make the space usable year-round.

This shows the rebar tie ins we installed in the footings so we could tie the slab in. The post brackets all had to be set at the same height which was more difficult than I planned but it all worked out. One ended up being about a 1/2" lower than the others but not a big deal.

Concrete is next. We have a second step which wraps around two sides to account for the slight slope. #3 rebar on 2' centers.

Framing complete and roofers are here!

I tunneled under our driveway cross walk to get the line over in close proximity to the meter. This was a helluva lot harder than I thought it would be. Finally got it but what a pain. I used all poly gas line and unions.

Trenching for the gas line. We installed a 1" line to support the new appliances and ensure we didn't lack volume. The gas company installed a new meter specifically because of what we are planning.

Hired framers to come in and set the trusses, sheet it and do the roof tie in.

Setting the beams. This was pretty terrifying as I rented a material lift but the beams were so long it was totally dodgey. We got them up in one afternoon though which was a solid accomplishment.

Thanks for the heads up with the pictures. All forums seem to be a little bit different so good to know.

FYI, if you want to attach multiple pics to your post, you can reduce the pix size to about 1.25 mb then you can attach about 5 pics per post.
