Outdoor kitchens allow you to eat dinner with your family outside, sip a glass of wine with a friend, or throw a party for the neighborhood. However you choose to use your outdoor kitchen, it will add versatility and possibility to your lifestyle.

• Countertop design: It’s important to design enough counter space to prep and cook your meals. This also helps limit the trips to and from the house that you’ll make when enjoying your Outdoor kitchen. Popular options are granite or other natural stones.
• Cabinet choices: Just like your indoor kitchen, storage space is very important for outdoor kitchens. Be sure you have enough space to store all of your utensils, cookware, cooks tools and any snacks you may leave outside that you use frequently. 
• Outdoor surfaces and deck options: At grade kitchens often use natural stone or concrete for the floor. Raised kitchens can be built on composite (recycled plastic as a wood substitute) or IPE decking which are wood structures that are strong, long-lasting, naturally resistant to rot, abrasion, weather, and insects. IPE Decking is almost twice as dense as most woods and up to five times harder.
