Ensuring easy access to resources can make your outdoor kitchen ideas a reality and contribute to growing the value of your home. Before you build an outdoor kitchen, it is important to assess various factors to ensure that your kitchen serves you all year round. Here are a few garden kitchen ideas to guide you in designing your dream outdoor kitchen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSESS YOUR SPACE When planning the design of your outdoor kitchen, it is important to see how much space you have and what units you require. Do you have simple outdoor kitchen ideas, BBQ island ideas or are you considering something more elaborate? You then need to decide what your cooking needs are, if you will be using the kitchen to only entertain guests, or if you just want to cook from outside. Looking at these factors will help you to design your kitchen according to your needs. Consider electricity, plumbing, and other utilities that will bring your kitchen to life. We also recommend building your outdoor kitchen where you can easily access the indoor kitchen in case you need to gather tools and ingredients. DOORS, DRAWERS & INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS Plan the features and components you would like in your outdoor kitchen, fortunately there are lots of options available depending on what functions you are looking for. For example, if you have a Pizza Oven as part of your design then consider a log store underneath, or perhaps you would like some draws near to your cooking area for storing utensils If you plan to include an outdoor sink then why not put an access door so you can easily get to the plumbing, in complex designs this may be plumbed into a near by drain and in simpler version you may opt to simply include a bucket which may require emptying from time to time. SMALL OUTDOOR KITCHEN IDEAS If space is a concern then it can be well worth considering a smaller outdoor kitchen which can fit your space a little easier. Also a small outdoor kitchen or barbecue can be a great starting point if you plan to build upon it later, you can add features later down the line, thing such as fridges and sinks are a luxury you may not need at the start. Another great aspect of a smaller outdoor kitchen is the price, you can save a lot of money going for smaller layout. BUILD YOUR KITCHEN THE MODULAR WAY! A great way to fit your dream outdoor kitchen or BBQ to the space you have available is to build it with modular units. Our Draco Grills range of modular outdoor kitchens are both stylish, and practical and you can choose from a wide range of modular units to create your very own custom outdoor kitchen, without the need for any design or build services. Shop Modular Outdoor Kitchens CHOOSE HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS Choosing strong materials will ensure that your outdoor kitchen lasts for years to come. Even though there are different options to choose from, the material you select will affect the kitchen’s purpose, character, and value. Assessing your surrounding climate will help you determine what materials will suit your outdoor space. Our patio kitchen ideas feature either a metal or brick based structure, where metal is concerned it is well worth using either galvanised steel or aluminium so as to avaoid the risk of rust, stainless steel is also great for outdoor kitchens however this is more common for the doors and drawers and not as cost effective for the frame. OUTDOOR KITCHEN DESIGNS If you are looking to lengthen your outdoor kitchen or create an entertaining spot for guests, you should design it well to avoid adding or changing things after a certain amount of time. Include appliances that will suit what you want to use your outdoor space for. A practical design will assure straightforward cooking and entertainment. Please ensure that there is enough space for preparing food, serving, storage, and cleaning areas. If your outdoor kitchen is planning to be an extension for your indoor kitchen, choose a layout that will blend the two areas together. COVERED OUTDOOR KITCHEN IDEAS Being able to cook and eat outside is one of the best parts of the summer, but due to the unpredictability of the British weather, covered outdoor kitchen ideas are worth considering if you're intending to upgrade your outdoor cooking area. The more shade, shelter from the wind and rain, and additional warmth that your outdoor kitchen receives will increase the amount of time you spend outside. When it comes to ideas for outdoor shading, there are many options. This includes basic and quick-to-assemble BBQ shelters, timber pergolas, and standalone buildings, and roof extensions. The choices you make will depend on how much space you have available and how basic or detailed you would like your outdoor kitchen coverage to be. CONSIDER PRE-BUILT PACKAGES! A pre-built package outdoor kitchen would typically include all of the elements you would want, things such as a barbecue, a sink, a fridge and plenty of storage! The benefit of this approach is the cost can be kept a lot lower than a more bespoke design with the trade-off that the unit is less customisable. A great example of a pre-built kitchen package is our Avalon Range by Draco Grills Shop Avalon Outdoor Kitchens RELATED BLOG POSTS CHRISTMAS TRENDS & XMAS LIGHTS GUIDE 2023 WHAT IS A FIBRE OPTIC CHRISTMAS TREE? LET’S MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS MAGICAL OUR TOP TRENDS FOR AUTUMN & WINTER 2023 OUTDOOR KITCHEN FAQ Do you need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen in the UK? The good news is that an outdoor kitchen, especially one without a canopy or other permanent shelter, does not necessarily need planning permission. As these will be under the 2.4m height restriction commonly imposed by many local authorities. however, it is always worth checking with your local council prior to starting any building project. Do you need to cover an outdoor kitchen? While an outdoor kitchen or any BBQ for that matter may be perfectly happy to sit out all year round uncovered, keeping it covered will help your kitchen last longer and remain clean and ready for when summer rolls around again. Should I include a sink with my outdoor kitchen? While a sink is not a necessary component in any outdoor kitchen, it can assist in keeping your hands and BBQ tools clean, which in turn can lead to safer alfresco dining with less risk of food poisoning. Also on a hot summer's day, you can always put the plug in and fill it with ice for some extra cold beverages for you and your guests. What do you make an outdoor kitchen out of? The core body of most outdoor kitchens will either be built from a brick structure or will have a metal frame, usually galvanized steel or aluminium which is then cladded with resin or tiled. On top of this, you will then usually find a granite worktop or something similar like outdoor quartz (make sure that whatever you choose is suitable for outdoor life). Although it may seem like an easy option we advise that you avoid using wood in the construction of your outdoor kitchen as wood is both flammable and unless treated correctly could end up degrading and rotting which would lead to a very unstable housing for your BBQ. Can an outdoor kitchen be enclosed? For the most part no, when cooking on a bbq or any other equipment you may have in your outdoor kitchen like a pizza oven, ventilation is very important! you can of course have a pergola or something similar over your outdoor kitchen provided it still allows airflow from the sides and if you have something like a pizza oven you send the chimney up through the roof. Can you turn a regular BBQ into an outdoor kitchen? This would depend on the BBQ you have, while it may not be impossible with all brands and types or barbcues, it may be easier with some than others. we would recomend contacting the manufacture to find out if they offer some form of conversion brackets or advice.
