As outdoor living continues to grow in popularity, the backyard has become more than a place to relax. It is where people cook, eat and entertain for a good part of the year, and that asks more of the space than a grill on a patio.
Cabinetry built for weather
Indoor cabinetry will not survive outside. Damp, frost and direct sun will find every weakness in a season or two. Purpose-built outdoor cabinetry gives you the look of timber over a substrate that can handle an Ohio winter.
Plan for the cook facing away from the house
Outdoors, the person cooking usually has their back to the kitchen and their guests in front of them. Prep space, storage and a place to put things down matter more than they do inside, because there is no walking back to a drawer.
Decide early what runs out there
Gas, power, water and drainage are far easier to plan at the start than to retrofit. Even if you are phasing the work, get the services specified now.
We design outdoor kitchens the same way we design indoor ones, and you can see weatherproof cabinetry in person at our showrooms.
