What Is a Custom Outdoor Kitchen?
A custom outdoor kitchen is a permanently built cooking and entertaining space designed specifically for outdoor use. Unlike prefabricated grill islands, custom outdoor kitchens are tailored in layout, materials, appliances, and finishes to complement the overall outdoor living design.
Outdoor kitchens can range from simple grill stations to fully equipped spaces for hosting and entertaining.
