    Outdoor Kitchen/cart design/location

    Here is the latest - 7ft x 2ft cabinet. This all depends on how much I granite is for the top. if I can not find a remnant cheap this is a no go as I dont want to spend more than $1200 on the whole project. SO I might be back to a 3ft cabinet (I hope it holds all the grilling stuff) I also...

    Never thought about it that way. Makes allot of sense. More storage the better. Let me redraw the plan.

    We can swap that. He egg is where it is since its closer to the kitchen sliders vs the dining area sliders. If I swapped them what does that give me?

    Outdoor Kitchen/cart design/location

    Maybe its 70 inches - The Weber is 5 ft long. I like the idea of the L shaped kitchen. If it were on the ground where it would be solid and not need the underneath replaced I would consider it on the stone patio we have down there. I am afraid if I build something that big it will never...

    Outdoor Kitchen/cart design/location

    Just looking for storage and prep/serving space. The Egg was to remain outside the island like it is today. I do like your Bar idea just do not know if it would work here.

    Outdoor Kitchen/cart design/location

    This is a drawing of my deck where I would like to build a cart or a stationary island on my 2nd floor deck. The deck is off the kitchen so it make sense so we can use it all winter (Live in the North East). I do not use the gas grill anymore and that is going downstairs under the deck until I...

    Change of plans possible as I do not have as much room as I though to put the cart (Forgot about the swinging gate for the deck stairs). Either I move everything around on the deck (then smoke from the Egg (grill) will blow (normal direction)across the whole deck, a small 3 foot cart on wheels...

    Materials for an island.

    Now the only thing to figure out is the cabinet doors. I was going to do vertical cedar planks for the sides but now that I have been looking at some pictures I am thinking horizontal planks would look much nicer. If the planks were vertical I would just use the wood that was cut out for the...

    May have found a restaurant supply store that can order me a 60 in x 24 in kitchen prep table. I can have them order that and remove the legs and mount it to the cabinet. Now the table top is exactly 60x24. I am guessing I want a lip around the cart to help keep the water out. Would making...

    Materials for an island.

    Had a trip to the local lumber yard. Guys in the yard were great at showing me all types of wood and ideas. Looked at marine plywood, finished plywood, pressure treated lumber. And red cedar tongue and groove planks. This is what I am goin to go with. Frame wi have PT 4x4's in the corners and...

    Materials for an island.

    Thank you very much. Not sold on the T1-11 yet but looking at option for the sides. I do not think they sell exterior Wainscoting. They do see the Airstone (Fake stone veneer) that may be an option.

    Materials for an island.

    thanks for the great info. What about these for the frame? Do I need pressure treated since its being covered? 2 x 4 x 8 Premium Kiln Dried Whitewood Stud Or metal studs? I am thinking the T1-11 siding may work - just have to stain and seal it. Would I still need the Durock is I am going...

    Materials for an island.

    Let me try this idea. Say I built a box out of 2x4's 5 feet long x 2 feet wide and 3 feet high And I wanted to use exterior based siding (Its very thin). Should I use a stronger plywood (1/2 inch or 3/8) underneath on the sides to make it more sturdy. Possibly wrap in tyvex before adding...

    Materials for an island.

    I just do not know how I would build the whole thing at all. I was guessing screwing a frame together and adding hardie backer to the outside would do it. But there is allot more like making it square and sturdy. Shelves - boxing out for doors or making doors. Waterproofing it. I have seen...

    I do not have a login for that site. Are they basic tables? I am looking for storage (hidden). I have allot of accessories (racks, cooking stones) for the Egg that I want to hide and keep out of the elements. Leaving them out will be an eyesore.

    Materials for an island.

    The had hardiebacker - No outdoor tile (Or at least what the worker said). Regardless I do not think I can make this they way I want to to be. I can probably make a box but it will not come out nice and will be a waste of money. I would have to buy doors and some stuff premade and that will...

    Materials for an island.

    I went to the local HD last night - That store is useless. They have almost nothing in stock for this type of project - no fiber/cement boards, no cedar siding or planks. They did have lots of Washing machines for sale though. I am not sure I can build this as I have never done anything like...
