Outdoor Kitchen Countertop Options
You have a variety of options when it comes to countertops for your outdoor kitchen, including granite, pour concrete, and stainless steel.
Granite
Granite is the best option for an outdoor kitchen countertop. It is extremely durable and when it is maintained properly, it will not be stained easily by moisture or sunlight. The only regular maintenance that granite requires is some periodic sealing. Granite gives your outdoor kitchen an upscale and sophisticated look.
Pour Concrete
Another great option for outdoor kitchens countertops is concrete. There are several benefits to concrete countertops for your new outdoor kitchen: they are durable, easy to repair, and versatile so they fit in any design scheme. Not to mention, they are heat resistant and long-lasting, too.
Stainless Steel
You can be sure that stainless steel countertops won’t be tarnished by water or any kind of weather. It gives you a modern look, but is still low-maintenance. Stainless steel is a popular option because it has a classic yet professional kitchen look.
Outdoor Kitchen Cabinetry
Just like your countertops, you have plenty of options when it comes to cabinets for your outdoor kitchen. You can install reclaimed lumber, stainless steel, teak, or bamboo cabinets to store everything you need.
Outdoor Kitchen Storage
If fixed cabinets aren’t your thing, you can consider an island with caster wheels that provides you with extra storage. We all know the struggle of not having enough kitchen storage. Don’t make that mistake when conceptualizing your new outdoor kitchen! Make sure to include plenty of storage space for grilling tools and anything else you want to keep outside.
Outdoor Kitchen Lighting
Don’t forget about lighting when it comes to building your outdoor kitchen. Lighting not only creates ambiance, but it is functional and even necessary for safety reasons in an outdoor kitchen, if you plan on cooking and entertaining outdoors at night.
