What Are Your Favorite Foods?

What you love to eat can help you decide what you need to put into your design plan. If you don’t enjoy slow cooking, you might want a smaller grill. If you love s’mores, you might want to add a fire pit or fire place. A few options to consider include:

  • Built-In Grill
  • Pizza Oven
  • Outdoor Stove
  • Free Standing Grill Station
  • Outdoor Refrigerators
  • Outdoor Prep Stations


Include areas to prepare your food and a refrigerator for drinks. You’ll spend a lot less time going in and out of the house and a lot more time enjoying your barbeque.

Who’s On Your Guest List?

The number and type of guests you have can help you choose features that will work for you. Keep in mind the age and interests of the people you usually spend time with, including your children. Consider the following options:

Large Groups:

A lot can be done in a small space if planned properly. Using design options like retaining wall seating or grading and leveling can maximize space or create new space.
