If you want a real outdoor kitchen without the months-long build timeline or contractor fees, a prefabricated BBQ island is the move.
These prebuilt outdoor kitchen units are built in a controlled factory and arrive at your home ready to place. Once your gas and power lines are connected, you are ready to start grilling.
BetterPatio offers the largest online selection of high quality prefab BBQ islands from trusted industry leaders like Cal Flame, Bull BBQ, and Kokomo. We provide more ways to customize your setup than standard retail stores.
Plus, with free shipping, our Price Match Guarantee, and our professional Preferred Delivery program, you can get your new island set up in your yard without any hassle.
The delivery process is an important step that many buyers overlook. A prefabricated BBQ island is a large, heavy item. These units can easily weigh several hundred pounds. Traditional shipping companies will only offer curbside delivery, which means they will leave the heavy crate at the end of your driveway.
We created the BetterPatio Preferred Delivery program to solve this problem. Instead of leaving your investment on the street, our specialized delivery service brings the island directly to your backyard setup spot.
BetterPatio only partners with trusted manufacturers that have a proven history of quality craftsmanship. We do not sell cheap, unbranded imports.
Every brand we feature builds outdoor kitchens that are tested in real weather conditions and backed by strong manufacturer warranties.
Cal Flame is a highly recognized name in pre-assembled outdoor kitchens. They offer islands in straight, L-shaped, and corner layouts. They also provide a large selection of finishes and premium appliance pairings.
If you want a reliable brand with many real world photos to help you choose, Cal Flame is a great place to start. You can view real finish options before you buy by visiting our Cal Flame photo gallery.
Bull BBQ Islands
Bull builds prefab outdoor kitchens with a focus on durability. Their structures, doors, and hardware are designed to withstand years of heavy outdoor exposure.
These islands are an excellent choice for homeowners who want long lasting performance and reliable construction above all else.
Kokomo Grills makes some of the most stylish prefabricated BBQ islands on the market. Their designs feature a modern look that blends seamlessly into finished backyard patios where appearance is just as important as cooking performance.
Some shoppers worry that buying a prefabricated BBQ island means they cannot make any changes. While big box retail stores offer limited choices, BetterPatio is a specialty dealer. We give you the freedom to choose your countertop material, base finish, and appliance layout to match your exact preferences.
If you see an island you like but want to adjust the setup to fit your yard, just let us know. Our design experts can help you customize the layout of your selected frame.
Countertop and Base Material Options
Most prefabricated outdoor kitchen islands show a default countertop and base style, but you do not have to stick to the basics.
Depending on the model, you can often choose granite, natural stone, or outdoor rated tile countertops. You can also pick between stucco, stone veneer, or tile bases to match your home.
Because these prefab structures feature standard cutout sizes, upgrading is easy. If the default grill in a package is not your favorite, you can ask to swap it.
We can easily pair your island with premium built in grills from brands like Fire Magic or Summerset.

The team can even assist with on-site assembly and placement so you are ready for your utility hookups. This is a level of service that other online retailers do not provide.

To find the best prefabricated BBQ island for your yard, focus on three main areas: your outdoor space, your cooking style, and your overall budget.
Prefab outdoor kitchens come in various sizes. Straight models typically start around 4 feet long, while larger L-shaped units can extend to 8 feet or more.
Before you shop, measure your patio space carefully. Make sure you leave at least 3 feet of open space around all working sides of the island so you can move around comfortably while cooking.
If you cook simple meals for a few people, a standard straight island with a 4-burner grill and a storage door is perfect. If you love to host parties, look for islands with extra counter space, a side burner, and an outdoor refrigerator. Some premium setups even include a built in beverage center or kegerator to keep drinks cold and close by.

A prefabricated BBQ island is a pre-assembled outdoor kitchen structure that arrives ready to install. The frame, base, countertop, and appliance cutouts are already built at the factory. You place it in your backyard, connect your gas and electrical, and it is ready to use. It is different from a custom-built outdoor kitchen, which is constructed on-site from raw materials.
On average, choosing a prefab model saves you 35 percent to 70 percent of the cost of a custom, contractor-built outdoor kitchen. Custom masonry builds often cost hundreds of dollars per foot for labor and raw materials. Our prefabricated packages bundle the island and high quality appliances together, saving you both time and money.
Yes. BetterPatio allows you to select custom countertop colors, base finishes (such as stucco or synthetic stone), and different appliance configurations on many of our popular models. Contact our team to discuss the specific changes you want to make to your chosen island model.
These structures are heavy and can weigh between 300 and 1,000 pounds depending on their size and materials. Because of this weight, we offer our Preferred Delivery program. Rather than leaving the heavy crate on your driveway or at the curb, our delivery team brings the unit directly to your designated backyard setup spot.
You do not need a general contractor to build the structure because the island body is already complete. However, we highly recommend hiring a licensed local plumber or gas technician to safely connect your natural gas or propane line. If your island includes lights, outlets, or an outdoor fridge, you may also need a licensed electrician to connect the power safely.
