In this article, we will take a look at some garden BBQ ideas. Most BBQs bought in stores collapsed after minimal use in my friends’ backyards after only one year. However, I had finished building a deck in my backyard but decided to add another grade to create an outdoor kitchen and BBQ island. If you are interested in making one for yourself, here are the steps to follow to build your own.

Design the Size and Shape

The first thing you need to do is to design and find an estimation of the size and shape of your BBQ island to be. Also, you can decide which BBQ you want to buy. I decided on a Vermont BBQ after researching it on Amazon and evaluating the units’ quality at my regional Home Depot. Personally, it made sense to buy the complete unit rather than buy the head and side burner separately. I bought a couple of 20% off coupons on eBay and got the grill for $519. You’d have to get the building materials simultaneously, so the coupon comes out for 20 percent off the entire purchase.

Decide on the Style

Choose which stainless steel doors you want and how many. Picture them on a Weber grill at the store. Call Weber and buy the ones you’ve decided on. Don’t worry about them. Good measuring will help you save a few cuts when you get to the 12×12 slate tiles. They are now 11 3/4 “x11 3/4”.

Considering the remaining 1/4″ gaps, you should make the best of 24″ wide, enough for two slate tiles. When framing the doors and openings, don’t forget to make the openings 1/2″ larger than necessary, allowing for the cardboard’s depth, glue and slate overlay. Also, don’t forget to tilt the area back slightly so that rainwater drains into the lawn. Then you can run the wiring for the outlets, lights and water pipes through the extension and then install 1/2″ Beckerboards. Do not use Wonderboards, as they are meant for soils and are not as hard as Hardibecker. You will need a specially marked blade to cut through the Hardiplank siding.

Install Stone Slabs and Extra Additions

The next thing you should do is to install natural stone slabs. These are 90 cents each with a coupon. I chose a nice color that can withstand the elements. I also bought a simple 12″ circular saw on eBay to reduce the tiles. Use a mixture of plastic grout, and Keracolor S Sanded to fill in the excess spaces. After washing off the excess grout and clearing the stone tiles, I applied Impregnator 511 sealer to all slate surfaces. Since the Vermont grill was a freestanding version and didn’t have a heat-resistant backplate, I put a galvanized steel plate to support the grill before rolling it into place. In anticipation of this summer weather. The job’s total cost was about $1200, which includes the price of this grill, the cooler, and the fabrics.…
