There are plenty of ways to build your dream outdoor kitchen while on a tight budget. Use our cost-cutting tips below!
Tip 1. Build The Kitchen As Close To Your Home As Possible
It’s much cheaper to build the outdoor kitchen close to your home as opposed to far away. The main reason for this is you will have a much easier time hooking up the utilities when you have an outlet and water hose nearby.
The close proximity to your house means homeowners can save on any additions, such as an upgraded fridge or sink.
Tip 2. Go For Versatility
It goes without saying that you’ll spend less money overall when including fewer appliances in your kitchen. Opt for a multifunctional appliance like a gas grill that comes complete with a charcoal tray.
Minimizing the number of appliances added will ultimately cut down on how much counter space you’ll need. This will lessen your initial installation costs.
Tip 3. DIY Style Kitchen
If you have some DIY skills, building part of the kitchen yourself can cut down on costly installations. Homeowners will also be able to save on material costs by utilizing reclaimed wood or recycled stone.
Tip 4. Minimize Utility Line Costs
Installing gas lines, plumbing, and electrical lines can cost a lot, especially when the kitchen is quite far removed from the home. Constructing the kitchen close to the home can keep costs down, but there are some ways to cut these costs entirely.
For instance, try choosing a charcoal grill or gas barbecue. Neither will require a gas line. This can save homeowners from purchasing permits and hiring a professional installation team.
Tip 5. Keep The Kitchen In Good Condition
Your kitchen area can quickly deteriorate or become damaged when left exposed. Protect your investment from the elements by keeping the area close to walls and roofs.
You could also use a gazebo or awning to help protect your kitchen area from any inclement weather.
