You’re on the hunt for an outdoor kitchen patio… But what materials are you going to use for it? That’s the million dollar question!
And to complicate matters further… There’s 7 common options to choose from. There’s concrete patios, paver patios, flagstone patios, bluestone patios, travertine patios, porcelain tile patios… And for honorable mention, you can install an outdoor kitchen on a deck!
Here’s the thing, though. While any of these surfaces could be an excellent option for your outdoor kitchen… Some come with more challenges than others. So let’s take a look at these outdoor kitchen patio materials!
First on the list is concrete. Concrete patios are particularly common, and popular due to their versatility. You can create various textures, keep it smooth, or even add pigment to match your color scheme. And especially if it’s finished smoothly… Concrete patios make an excellent, level surface to install an outdoor kitchen on. There’s one thing you’ll want to keep in mind, though! Once you install a concrete patio… You can’t undo it! So install your outdoor kitchen utility lines before pouring the patio.
Curious about another outdoor kitchen patio option? You might also consider paver patios. Rather than pouring an entire slab… You’re laying individual paver pieces. When done properly… Paver patios offer a sufficiently level surface for outdoor kitchen installation. They are also a bit easier to work with if you need to move them! If you didn’t install your utilities beforehand… Pavers are a lot easier to remove and reinstall.
Now, there’s quite a few more outdoor kitchen patio materials to review. For details, you’ll just have to watch the video! And when you’re ready to start your outdoor kitchen project… We’re here to help!
