Outdoor kitchens have exploded in popularity in recent years, as homeowners embrace the idea of an outdoor lifestyle and extending their entertaining space. We\u2019re seeing the trend in all types of climates, not just the South. Even in regions with colder weather, homeowners want to take advantage of outdoor living when they can.<\/p>\n
Outdoor kitchens make outdoor parties and barbecues more fun and convenient. The cook doesn\u2019t have to run back and forth to the kitchen to grab tongs and other kitchen tools. They don\u2019t have to cart drinks and dishes back and forth. Instead, that time can be spent relaxing and socializing with family members and friends. <\/p>\n
Outdoor kitchens can be very basic or very luxurious, depending on your budget and your needs. They range from simple kitchen islands that cost about $1,000<\/strong>, not including plumbing and appliances, to custom kitchens that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Basic outdoor kitchens typically include counter space, a grill, and storage areas for utensils and supplies. High-end versions usually have sinks and refrigerators, which can double the project cost due to the required plumbing. <\/p>\n All told, the average price of an outdoor kitchen nationwide is somewhere around $2,000 to $5,000<\/strong>. However, some people get away with spending less and others pay upwards of $30,000.<\/strong> There\u2019s a lot of variation in price. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s more specific information about your options:<\/p>\n
\n<\/ul>\n Speaking of custom design, the possibilities are practically endless for how creative you can be. Some people do outdoor pizza ovens, fireplaces or fire-pits, outdoor theaters, elaborate built-in seating, pergolas, and custom flooring like stamped concrete, brick walkways, natural stone or concrete pavers. You\u2019re only limited by your imagination — and, of course, your budget.<\/p>\n Unless you\u2019re extremely handy, plumbing tasks are best left to the professionals. Costs vary based on the size and features of the outdoor kitchen, its proximity the house, local labor rates and more. On average, outdoor plumbing for a sink adds $1,500 to $3,000<\/strong> to the total project, while connecting your grill to the natural gas line adds about $500 to $750<\/strong>, not including the monthly cost of natural gas. If natural gas isn\u2019t an option in your area, you can opt for a propane tank, but those are expensive at about $1,500 to $2,000<\/strong>. Many people find they\u2019re not worth the cost.<\/p>\n When it comes to running the plumbing for a sink, keep in mind that the project will cost far less if the kitchen is next to the house. You can also save money by skipping the hot water and just running cold water. Don\u2019t forget that if you live in a frost zone the plumbing needs to be designed so it can be winterized.<\/p>\n
