Cal Flame Outdoor Fireplaces

How will our outdoor kitchen be assembled (or built)? 
Outdoor kitchens can be categorized on assembly requirements: Pre-Assembled, Quick Assembly (under 2 hours), DIY (Do It Yourself) and Contractor Build. Check out our articles on the benefits of Pre-Assembled Outdoor Kitchens and What You Need to Know about Quick Assembly Outdoor kitchens. 

How do we want our outdoor kitchen be designed? 
Primary designs include linear islands from 4 feet to 11 feet in length, L-Shaped islands and U-Shaped Islands. BetterPatio can also help with custom island designs here. We've broken up our categories based on BBQ Islands (with grills), Bar Islands (no grill) and Modular Island Cabinets (add ons to your existing outdoor kitchen.) We prefer L-Shaped Kitchens because of the space and functionality for both cooking and entertaining, but not all home owners have the space. Buyer beware: Big Box retailers will only sell a design with pre-determined color combinations. BetterPatio can order island designs with personalized material combinations.

What materials should we use for our outdoor kitchen?
Materials are dependent on the manufacturer, and mainly consist of stainless steel, stucco, stacked stone, composite and concrete. Your choice of materials may be based on your proximity to water, design preferences, among other factors.

How much will our outdoor kitchen cost? 
You can spend as little as $2,000 on a pre-assembled BBQ Island, or as much as $20,000 for a true customized island delivered directly to your backyard.
