It's the rock of ages. After a trip to a body shop to have the dents and dings removed and a thorough cleanup, it's now used to store beer, wine and soft drinks. Customers will need to have some answers, and ask some questions, when ordering outdoor cooking islands and equipment. The first consideration is what type of fuel will be used for the grill. If natural gas is already used in the house, or if propane is used for heating the pool, a professional can usually tap into these sources to fuel the grill.
Paved patios are excellent surfaces for outdoor kitchen islands, but decks are another matter.
They are likely to require additional support to bear the weight of an island with several appliances. In cold climates, water lines will need to be drained before the first winter freeze, or the line can be disconnected and the entire unit rolled indoors. Electrical outlets for plugging in refrigerators, blenders, coffee makers and other small appliances should be installed with safety in mind. Outdoor outlets require ground-fault circuit interrupters. It is outside.
