How to design an outdoor kitchen?

Outdoor kitchens offer a fantastic opportunity to take the joy of cooking outside, providing a space where you can whip up delicious meals while socialising with your loved ones. 

 

Many Bunnings Workshop members have shared terrific outdoor kitchen projects, converting backyards, alfresco areas and other outdoor spaces into stylish and functional kitchens. You can check out some great examples in our Top 10 most popular outdoor kitchen projects

 

For those planning on building an outdoor kitchen, I'd recommend checking out the Bunnings guides How to design an outdoor kitchen and Stylish outdoor kitchen ideas.

 

I'd love to hear if anyone has any additional advice or tips on designing an outdoor kitchen. What key features or elements do you think are essential for creating the perfect outdoor cooking and entertaining area?

 

Tagging @funksoulbro1@sideshowmatt, @homeinmelbourne and @jeffjen to kickstart the discussion.

Re: How to design an outdoor kitchen?

Think about the materials you'll use to build your outdoor kitchen. Weather will be a driving factor and outdoor conditions will affect the materials even if the kitchen is undercover and protected. Use long lasting, low maintenance, water resistant materials to ensure longevity and many years of enjoyment.

Wonderful advice, thanks for sharing @funksoulbro1. Thinking long term definitely pays off when it comes to choosing materials.
