DIY: Custom Island BBQs

Summer Is Coming; Are you Ready?

Elevate Your Grilling Game with a Custom Steel-Framed BBQ Island

With Memorial Day Weekend approaching, it's almost our favorite time of the year: grilling season. Ditch the charcoal starter grill and build yourself a long-lasting BBQ island! 

What You'll Need:

1. Your favorite grilling appliances (BBQ, fridge, etc.)

2. Structural steel studs & track.

3. Cement board & stucco.

4. Framing and cement board screws.

5. Interior supports & exterior finishing, such as connector plates, air vents, and counter tops.

6. A plan.

While number 6 is often overlooked, it is critical in order to create a safe, durable bbq island. To remove any DIY doubt, there are companies that sell easy-to-assemble kits with just the right materials for the job. One such company is BBQ Coach, who have a great guide to assembling your own kit here.
