Small or large, your outdoor kitchen will need to sit on some kind of surface, be it tiled, decked or concreted over.
'Anything structural needs a good foundation, even a bicycle shed – so a stable, even, hard base with a small fall is essential,' adds Caroline.
'All our kitchen units have adjustable feet for small adjustments, as stone paving can have its own uneven texture. Ideally have your services – plumbing, electrics etc mapped and installed beforehand, so everything can hook up in the correct place. It is all in the planning. Of course if you just want a few cupboards and a pizza oven, then you don’t have to worry!'
