How to design an outdoor kitchen? 

When diving into the world of outdoor kitchen design, think of it like crafting your culinary haven in the great outdoors. It's all about customising the layout and features to match your cooking style and outdoor space.

• For occasional grill-outs and light cooking, a quality grill, functional grill accessories and a suitable workspace with outdoor lamps can go a long way.

• If you're planning an outdoor kitchen for diverse daily cooking, consider adding electrical connections and outdoor kitchen modules with drawers, shelves, and perhaps even a sink.

• Ideally, plan your outdoor kitchen in a covered space to protect items from the rain. Materials like aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel and teak wood are well-suited for continuous outdoor use.

How to protect the outdoor kitchen for winter? 

When the air turns too cold for outdoor dining, it's time to winterise your outdoor kitchen. Ideally, store outdoor kitchen furniture indoors for winter or at least place them under a shelter and cover them thoroughly with the right protective covers. If your outdoor kitchen has water connections, ensure you shut off the water valves for winter and drain the pipes.

In the autumn, give your grill, furniture and tools a thorough cleaning to remove accumulated dirt and grease, making their springtime use more enjoyable and quicker.
