Our tips for setting up an outdoor kitchen

Choosing the right material for your summer kitchen

The choice of materials is crucial to ensure the durability of your outdoor kitchen:

  • Wood: Offering a warm and natural look, wood is an aesthetic choice. However, it requires regular maintenance to withstand the elements. Opt for naturally resistant woods like teak or ipe for better durability.
  • Aluminium: Lightweight and resistant to corrosion, aluminium is a modern, low-maintenance material. It is available in a variety of colours and styles, making it a versatile choice for outdoor furniture.
  • Stainless steel: Sturdy and hygienic, stainless steel is an ideal choice for countertops and sinks. It is also easy to clean.
  • Composite: A durable and weather-resistant material, composite is an excellent choice for façades and countertops. It’s also low-maintenance and doesn’t require painting, making it a practical option for outdoor use.

Thinking about protecting your outdoor kitchen

To ensure the longevity of your outdoor kitchen, it’s important to protect it from the elements by considering:

  • A shelter: Installing a permanent or temporary shelter, such as a pergola or canopy, will protect your kitchen from the sun, rain, and snow, ensuring it stays functional and protected throughout the year.
  • A protective cover: If you don’t have a permanent shelter, a waterproof protective cover is a simple solution to shield your kitchen when not in use, helping to keep it safe from the elements.
  • Regular maintenance: Clean your outdoor kitchen regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and grease. Use cleaning products that are suitable for the materials of your kitchen to ensure longevity and maintain its appearance.

Choosing the right material for the countertop

The countertop is a central element of the outdoor kitchen. It must be weather-resistant and easy to clean. Some of the most popular materials for countertops include:

  • Granite: A natural and durable material, easy to clean and stain-resistant.
  • Quartz: A non-porous composite material, hygienic and easy to maintain.
  • Polished concrete: A modern and aesthetic material, resistant to shocks and stains.
  • Wood: A warm and natural option, but it requires regular maintenance.

Determining the elements to integrate into your outdoor kitchen

The elements of an outdoor kitchen vary depending on your needs and budget. The most common elements are:

  • Barbecue: The central element of the outdoor kitchen for grilling meats, fish, and vegetables.
  • Plancha: For cooking food in a healthier and more precise way.
  • Sink: To wash your hands and do the dishes.
  • Refrigerator: To keep food and drinks cool.
  • Storage: Cabinets and drawers to store kitchen utensils and crockery.
  • Adequate lighting: To enjoy your outdoor kitchen in the evening.

Setting up an outdoor kitchen is a great way to enjoy your garden or terrace all year round. By choosing the right materials and taking the necessary steps to protect it from the weather, you can create a functional space to cook and share meals with family and friends.
