I've noticed most people are lining the insides of their refrigerator/kegerator cutaways with cement/backer board. I was wondering if this really necessary, and if it would be better to not line the inside which would allow for better ventilation of the refrigerator equipment?

Rodog: It's 15/16" x 5-1/4" Veranda composite decking I got from Home Depot. Any composite decking would work though. I ran 4 strips of it along the length the island.

Here's how things are progressing so far. I have found that it helps minimize the racking affect if I add two screws to each side of the join between the stud and the track. Other than using more screws, does anybody see any harm in doing this? Such as weakening the join by adding more holes...

Thanks Riles_J.... . I decided to upgrade and go with a EdgeStar outdoor rated Kegerator, which should hopefully work fine to keep my beer cold even in 100+ degree heat we get in Sacramento. Hey I was admiring your ODK build. It looks great. How are you concrete countertops holding up...

Thanks for the informative reply guys. I plan to meet with a local supplier this Saturday regarding components. The Danby refrigerator and keqerator look promising since they at least have the same style doors and SS finish. I don't know how they will perform in the hot (100+ degree) weather...

I've added a 3D model of my structure. I have access to Solidworks so I used the weldments feature draw this up. Most of the metal studs are 2.5" wide. I'd appreciate any feedback or recommendations. I have concerns about the overhang of the concrete countertop. About 50% of the concrete...

Looks like I'll be going with the Blaze 32" grill. Still not sure on the refrigerator and kegerator as I would like them to have matching door and stainless steel finish, and affordable. That seems to be asking a lot. I've also been told for outdoor use to avoid kegorators where the CO2 is...

So I recently completed extending my existing patio with Basalite pavers and then installing a 15' x 15' Alumawood fee standing patio cover with gabled roof. I'm pretty happy with the results so far. See below pic of patio cover. Now I'm about to adventure into building a barbecue island/bar...

Hi David, How is your barbecue island holding up? I cam upon your posting while I was researching possibly doing a DIY concrete countertop. I'm impressed with your work. So how is it holding up? BTW, I also live in Sacramento (North Highland/Antelope area), and my name is Dave. Hope you get...
