With a global recession and difficulty obtaining equity loans more homeowners than ever
are now designing and building their own outdoor kitchens.
This DIY project can save you thousands of dollars off retail and contractor prices.
It allows many to go ahead with a large home improvement project during poor economic times.
Your average homeowner has the basic skills and tools, but most lack the
confidence and knowledge to construct their own steel frame. Many also are
not sure how to apply the stucco finish. Many Families decide to purchase a mail order frame kit
From BbqCoach.com The advantage to the frame kits is that all of the pieces
are pre-cut and screw together like Ikea furniture. They are designed by a professional builder
So you know you are putting together a properly constructed frame. In addition to the kits,
BbqCoach offers over 14 dvd videos helping their clients every step of
the way to build the outdoor kitchen of their dreams. All the videos are available video on demand
Via the company’s website. You can download the videos and save them to your computer.
“Thank goodness for BBQ Coach,” says Jacqui Webb
Of Santa Barbra, CA. We used the mail order frames kits and were very satisfied
how easily it screwed together! The 14 step by step instructional videos were
a great help in navigating our way through this project. If it was not for the
Bbq Coach system we would have never taken on this project.
For most homeowners working on this project over the weekends, it takes approximately
4 months to complete from start to finish on average. The most popular outdoor kitchen
Design is the L Island says, William Gardner, founder of BBQ Coach.com
L Islands fit well in most peoples landscape and offer plenty of space for your grill and
Accessories. The most popular combination of Appliances is: a 4 burner grill, double
Doors below the grill, a double drawer, a fridge and a sink with an access door for plumbing.
For outdoor kitchens with a LP propane fueled grill a propane drawer is a must have accessory
which makes exchanging tanks easy without hurting your back.
The average size L island includes a 4 - 6 ft long grill module and a 6 to 8 ft long serving island.
Most families add a split bar counter to the serving island. Allow 2 feet per person when designing
your bar counter.
For more elaborate outdoor kitchen on the high end most opt for a rounded island design.
The rounded islands take up less space on the patio and are very popular around swimming pools
And small yards. No matter what design homeowners choose, an outdoor kitchen is an excellent investment that will bring many wonderful memories shared with family and friends.
