Description by Rob

How nice it is to prepare a nice piece of meat (or vegetables) on the barbecue! I like to do this in the summer, but also in the winter. But I always missed a table on which I could place my dishes. That's why I started building this outdoor kitchen.

How I made this project

The frame is made of 68x68 impregnated garden posts. The kitchen is on wheels, so it can be moved around the garden. The outdoor kitchen has doors, so that we can also store some things in the outdoor kitchen (such as the gas bottle). The top was sawn to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl and is made of 40 mm Multiplex Okoumé Waterproof. Ultimately, I stained the top to protect it from the elements. The top was delivered perfectly and provided with sufficient protection so that it was not damaged during transport.
