Top Considerations When Planning Your Outdoor Kitchen Space

Planning your new outdoor area can be a thrilling time as you create the perfect space. As you begin working on design, you need to evaluate and decide on several important considerations:

1. Budget

It’s very easy for homeowners to be excited about their beautiful new space and overspend. Having a budget in place helps keep your expenditures in line and makes your decision process easier. Plus, a budget will assist you in understanding which features you need most. Finally, budgeting ensures that you’ll have enough money for the entire project.

2. Location

You may think you have the perfect place to build your new outdoor space. However, the best location involves more than picking a spot with a pretty view. For example, building it a few feet from your home offers convenience and access to utilities. Also, if you’re not planning on building a roof, you’ll want to consider the availability of shade. Finally, the direction and intensity of the wind can affect your usage.

3. Planned Usage

Many outdoor cooking enthusiasts will quote you a list of necessary appliances for your outdoor kitchen:

• Grill
• Side burners
• Smokers
• Sink
• Pizza oven
• Refrigerator
• Ice Maker
• Warming Drawers
• Griddle
• Wine cooler
• Kegerator

Yet, before you begin to start picking your appliances, you need to ask yourself a few questions:

• How much time do I plan on spending cooking outside?
• Will I be entertaining outdoors frequently?
• What is my favorite method of outdoor cooking?

Based on your answers, you can then pick the most important tools you need. Of course, you’ll also want to include some areas for storage and food preparation. In addition to keeping your outdoor kitchen space neat and organized, cabinets and countertops eliminate the need to go indoors.

4. Select Your Outdoor Materials

Once you’ve selected your appliances, you need to choose materials for your cabinets and countertops. When researching your options, you want to choose materials that withstand harsh weather. Other factors you should consider are cost, maintenance requirements, and durability.
