The smell of grilling kebabs, the taste of a burger hot off of the barbecue, the great excuse to stay outside on a nice day: Grilling is one of life’s simple pleasures. How do you make it better still? Build a patio or deck area that feels like a vacation in your own backyard. Here are a few tips.
6 Tips for Creating the Perfect Patio for Grilling
Select tiles, stone or wooden flooring material for the patio that feels nice under bare feet. Don’t forget to select a material that won’t get dangerously slippery when wet.2. Appoint a place to prep
Transform your grill into an outdoor kitchen by adding dedicated prep space for the cook. Think about adding a simple high table, a prefab island with heated and cooled drawers, or a complete built-in setup which has a sink and fridge.3. Protect your guests
Canopies and umbrellas are a good way to be certain your guests don’t fry while you grill.
4. Light your night
Strategic lighting can certainly help create a cozy ambience. Tiki torches, strings of tiny lights, lanterns and candles all can help paint a mood. A few citronella candles will help keep the bugs away.
5. Furnish for comfort
Choose outdoor furniture that’s comfy, not only stylish. When you have metal chairs, splurge for cushy pillows. Not only will they help keep your guests happy, they’re an easy way to add color to your outdoor living space.
6. Allow your drinks chill
Whether it’s a giant bucket of ice, a wheeled cooler or a built-in mini fridge, having a place to stash drinks cuts back on annoying trips to your kitchen.
