Before you begin your RTA outdoor kitchen install… You’ll have to uncrate your island panels! At first, the process may seem intimidating.
But once you see how it’s done… It’s really quite simple! To help show you the ropes, we enlisted the help of Ward Schraeder. Co-host of Magnolia Network’s Bargain Mansions with his daughter Tamara Day… Ward has plenty of experience with home improvement projects!
Recently, we worked with Ward for his own RTA outdoor kitchen… And he was kind enough to allow us to film the assembly process. You’ll also hear from our head of manufacturing, Jon Bell! Jon will explain the uncrating process step by step.
So without further ado… Let’s begin!
First things first… You’ll find uncrating instructions and a drill bit on the outside of your crate. So you will have a tangible guide to lead you through it. Next step is to begin removing some of the wood panels. Using your provided drill bit… Remove the panels in the order they are numbered on the side. Start with removing panel one, then panel two, and so on and so forth.
Once you hit panel 4… You will have some support braces to remove. This is no problem! There are just 4 screws on each brace you’ll have to remove. Behind panel 4, you’ll find a couple things. Your concrete corners, install kit, and installation guide will be here. From there… You will slowly cut straps to remove the concrete panels one at a time.
And once fully uncrated… You can start your RTA outdoor kitchen install! Not bad at all.
