OUTDOOR ISLAND

Outdoor Islands are a popular option for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining outdoors. These freestanding structures add counter space, storage, and appliances to your outdoor cooking and dining experience. Consider the following factors when designing an outdoor island for your backyard or patio:

Size and Layout: Outdoor Islands come in a variety of sizes and shapes. It's very important to choose one that fits your space and meets your needs. Consider the size of your outdoor area and how many people you typically cook for when deciding on the size of your island. You should also consider the layout and placement of the island, taking into account factors such as sun exposure, proximity to other outdoor features, and ease of access. This determines the type of materials you would like for your outdoor island. 

Materials: Outdoor Islands are made from a variety of materials, that could include wood, concrete, stone, and stainless steel. Each material has its own unique characteristics and benefits. Wood islands are popular because they are natural and warm, but they may require more maintenance and may not be as durable as other materials. Concrete, stone, and stainless steel islands are more durable and require less maintenance, but they may not have the same warm, natural look as wood. Make sure to include the factors mentioned earlier when choosing the right material for you. 

Appliances and features: Outdoor islands can come equipped with a range of appliances and features, such as grills, sink, refrigerator, and storage cabinets. Decide which appliances and features are most important to you and choose an island that includes them. Keep in mind that additional appliances and features will increase the cost of the island. Also, the compatibility with each Island must be considered. 

Budget: Outdoor islands can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the size, materials, and features. Determine your budget before shopping and look for an island that fits within your price range.

Maintenance: Be sure to consider the maintenance requirements of your outdoor island when choosing materials and features. Wood islands may require more frequent cleaning and sealing, while concrete, stone, and stainless steel islands are generally easier to maintain.

An outdoor island can be a great addition to any backyard or patio, providing a convenient and functional space for outdoor cooking and entertaining. With careful planning and consideration, you can find the perfect outdoor island for your needs and budget. With a lot of options to choose from, you can never go wrong!
