An outdoor kitchen is a perfect complement to your outdoor entertainment space. In addition to the traditional gas grill, outdoor kitchens can include bar seating, refrigerators, dishwashers, sinks, storage, pizza ovens, smokers, and roof structures. They can be poolside or tucked into a more intimate setting along with a dining or lounging area.

The heart of the outdoor kitchen is the grill. Features like LED lighting, sear zones, rotisseries will expand your outdoor cooking to a whole new level. An under-grill cabinet is a great feature and it not only simplifies the build and install but also provides convenient storage options. Other under-cabinet inserts are available, typically made from stainless steel, that can provide drawers, cabinet, or trash/recycling capabilities. A side burner is the next most popular item, and this moves all the cooking to the outdoor kitchen. Solid surface counter materials like granite can be used for preparation and serving areas. Bar style fridges keep cold beverages handy and reduce traffic into the house when it's time for another round. We have built several projects where an outdoor kitchen was paired with an outdoor fireplace. This is a lifestyle and can be scaled up only limited by budget and our collective imaginations.

Outdoor kitchen cabinet ideas perfect for the Calgary climate

Powder Coated Stainless Steel cabinets are perfect for Calgary backyard kitchens. Calgary weather provides a harsh hot-cold climate which requires smart techniques to make your outdoor kitchens last. UV protected powder coatings on stainless steel is a great option to create all weather cabinetry. Outdoor spaces in your yard can be affected by harsh chemicals such as chlorine or muriatic acid, so choosing a cabinetry product with best protection standards and warranties are suggested.
