Utilising Your Outdoor Kitchen Year-Round

One of the frequently asked questions we receive is how do I utilise my outdoor space year-round? With the growing popularity of garden areas, there are numerous options available to create a functional outdoor space throughout the year. Given the unpredictability of British weather, rain cover is essential. Fortunately, there are many solutions, such as pergolas, to provide a sheltered area in your garden. Additionally, there are cost-effective options from companies like Maze Living. We have also developed a parasol adapter for our outdoor kitchens, allowing you to securely attach a two-tier parasol to your setup.

Weather-Resistance

The other thing to think about is your outdoor kitchens resilience to weather. With an Igneous Outdoor Kitchen this has been consciously considered with our kitchens being able to handle any weather conditions without being covered. Granites natural properties make it the ideal option for construction of an outdoor kitchen.
