A new deck, outdoor kitchen, updated pergola roof and lighting made this outdoor entertaining area ready for summer barbecues.
The project
I built a low-level deck across the entire pergola area over the existing pavers. I made a removable cover for each floor drain so it can be easily checked and cleaned.
Upgraded the pergola roof with better heat-resistant sheets. It's now much more comfortable during a hot summer day. I also upgraded the lighting and installed a ceiling fan.
I built a half-wall and cabinets for the outdoor kitchen. I did all the plumbing work, including both hot and cold water pipes and a drain pipe that connects to the existing kitchen drain.
