What should you consider when designing an outdoor kitchen?

Before you start designing your outdoor kitchen, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, it is essential to choose the right location. Think about the available space in your garden. Make sure you have enough space to cook, eat and socialize. It is important to take the wind direction into account. You don't want smoke or heat from the BBQ blowing towards your house, so place the outdoor kitchen in a strategic location.

Another aspect to consider is the functionality of your outdoor kitchen. Do you just want a cooking area, or do you also want a dining area for socializing and need plenty of work space? Think about the equipment and storage space you need. Create your ideal outdoor kitchen in our configurator .
