In this episode of The Outdoor Kitchen Experience, RTA Outdoor Living designer Cameron Coffey explains what actually impacts the cost of a U-shaped outdoor kitchen and how to budget with confidence. From layout size and materials to appliances, finishes, and installation, you’ll see where the money goes—and what’s optional versus essential.
U-shaped layouts are popular because they maximize workspace, storage, and seating. But with more cabinetry and countertop comes more cost. Cameron walks through realistic price ranges—starting around $14,000–$15,000 for smaller U-shapes, and up to $30,000+ for larger, fully equipped designs—and explains why choices like appliance packages, finishes, and layout length matter most.
You’ll also learn why construction materials make a long-term difference. Many outdoor kitchens rely on steel frames or cement board, which can rust, absorb moisture, and fail over time. RTA uses solid concrete panels backed by a lifetime structural guarantee, helping homeowners avoid costly rebuilds down the road.
Finally, Cameron explains how RTA’s ready-to-assemble design can save thousands compared to traditional masonry builds—without sacrificing durability or customization.
