Location, location, location!
When it comes to building an outdoor kitchen, location is key! You want to choose a spot that’s convenient for cooking and entertaining and fits seamlessly into your backyard design. A well-placed kitchen can also maximize your enjoyment of the great outdoors, whether you’re cooking up a storm for a summer barbecue or simply enjoying a cup of coffee on a quiet morning. So take some time to evaluate your backyard space and find the perfect location for your outdoor kitchen – we promise you won’t regret it.
What should you consider when placing your outdoor kitchen?
Choosing the right spot for your outdoor kitchen is essential since it will impact how often you use it and how much you enjoy it. Here are a few things to consider when selecting the perfect spot:
Access: One of the most important things to consider is access to gas, water, and electricity. You’ll want to choose a location near existing connections or plan to have them installed if they’re not already there. This will make it easier to hook up your appliances and keep your kitchen functioning correctly.
Proximity: Think about how your outdoor kitchen will fit in with the rest of your backyard layout. Consider placing it near your indoor kitchen and dining area to make it easy to carry food back and forth. Position it near a seating area or patio for convenient entertaining.
Sun exposure: Depending on where you live, you’ll want to think about the direction of the sun throughout the day. If you live in a hot climate, avoid a location with direct sun all day. On the other hand, if you enjoy cooking in the evening, you’ll want to choose a spot that gets plenty of shade during the day but still gets some sun in the afternoon.
Wind and weather: Consider the prevailing winds in your area and how they might impact your outdoor kitchen. Avoid a location that’s too windy, or plan to install some kind of wind barrier to protect your appliances and cooking area. You’ll also want to choose a location that’s relatively sheltered from rain and snow or invest in a sturdy cover for shelter.
Considering these factors, you can choose the perfect location and enjoy delicious meals al fresco in no time.
