Outdoor kitchens are available in a variety of materials and setups to suit different budgets and preferences. Some examples of common materials for outdoor kitchen cabinets include HDPE, aluminum, and stainless steel. You can choose between prefabricated packages or semi-custom options for your setup.
The main differences between “prefab” and semi-custom designs are the available features, cost, and investment. “Prefab” kitchens, or outdoor kitchen kits, come in standard packages with limited sizing and some appliance options. Semi-custom kitchens give you more design freedom with seemingly endless sizes, configurations, and options.
You should invest in a long-lasting product to get the most value from your outdoor kitchen design. For best-in-class durability and functionality, Trex® Outdoor Kitchens manufactures made-to-order stainless steel outdoor kitchens. We offer design freedom, high quality materials, color options, and cabinetry to accommodate a variety of appliances and amenities.
Semi-Custom Cabinetry
Semi-custom cabinets are a lifelong commitment to the beauty, function, and value of your outdoor kitchen space. Although semi-custom designs are a greater initial investment than prefabricated kitchens, they have many benefits.
With a semi-custom kitchen, you can tailor your project to suit your outdoor living space – whether it is a rooftop or backyard patio. You can decide on a variety of amenities to include, as well as a multitude of colors and door styles. You can also create your kitchen to integrate with other features in your space, like a pool or seating area.
Trex Outdoor Kitchens offers a unique selection of colors, styles, and appliance solutions that rival indoor kitchens. With our cabinetry, you can design a high-performance, luxurious outdoor kitchen that is functional for all your needs.
For a streamlined design process, consider our Trex Ready™ series of cabinetry, which combines popular layouts with six colors. Trex Ready pulls from our traditional line of cabinetry and simplifies the design process into four easy steps.
Stainless Steel: The Best Material
Over the years, stainless steel has emerged as the industry standard in outdoor kitchens. Stainless steel is durable, nonporous, can withstand temperature fluctuations, will not warp or crack, and will maintain structural integrity.
Stainless steel is the best material for your outdoor space, especially where durability is a concern. Proper maintenance of stainless steel ensures that it lasts a long time outdoors, making it the top choice for cabinets. Trex Outdoor Kitchens manufactures stainless steel cabinetry in 304 and 316 (marine) grades. When powder coated, our cabinetry is low-maintenance and engineered to last.
Design Freedom
One of the major benefits of designing with semi-custom cabinetry is the layout options. Some of the most common configurations include straight runs, L shaped, and U shaped outdoor kitchens.
Trex Outdoor Kitchens offers hundreds of cabinetry sizes in 3” increments, multiple depths, and dozens of styles. These options give you the freedom to design a kitchen in virtually any size and shape. You can easily create an effective workspace for cooking and prepping, as well as incorporate appliances and bartending amenities.
All the Features
One of the biggest differences between semi-custom and prefabricated outdoor kitchens is the features that are available. The best semi-custom outdoor kitchen brands will give you the opportunity to incorporate seemingly endless features.
