The project

We built our own outdoor barbecue area using Kaboodle cabinets and a D.I.Y. concrete benchtop. The Kaboodle units gave us a strong and good-looking base, and the concrete top added a cool, modern touch. It’s now a great spot for entertaining, with a custom look that we created ourselves on a budget.

Steps

Step 1

We first built out the barbecue area using blocks.

Step 2

Then we put in the Kaboodle cabinets.

Step 3

We formed up and poured a concrete benchtop.

Step 4

We built a splashback, then tiled and grouted it.

Step 5

Polished the concrete benchtop and sealed it.

Step 6

Put in the barbecue and here is the finished product!
