Build your outdoor kitchen with complete modules

When using our complete modules, building an outdoor kitchen is easy and the advantages are many. First of all, it’s much faster than building a custom-built outdoor kitchen, you simply choose the modules you want, assemble them, and put them in place. You can also change the design by moving or adding new modules, and if you changes homes, you can take your outdoor kitchen with you.

Build a sink in your outdoor kitchen

A sink unit with a faucet makes rinsing vegetables, washing plates, and cleaning your hands during grilling easier. Just connect the garden hose to your outdoor kitchen faucet (connectors can be found in most hardware stores) but remember that the water isn’t safe for drinking. To drain the water from the outdoor kitchen sink, the easiest solution is to let it flow into a container that you empty by hand.

Make the most of your outdoor kitchen

Whatever the size of your outdoor dining area, a GRILLSKÄR kitchen island makes it easier to food prep, grill, entertain, and keep things tidy. The countertops in our outdoor kitchens are made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel. Under the countertop, there’s plenty of storage for all the items you want to have close at hand.

Create a large workspace for your outdoor kitchen

If you’re a BBQ pro, why not combine two or more BÅTSKÄR closed kitchen units into a larger work surface? They also double as a gathering spot for pre-dinner drinks and summer buffets, and offer lots of storage. Worried about how to get them home? Don’t be – most BÅTSKÄR modules come as flatpacks.

How to protect your outdoor kitchen

Even though our outdoor kitchens are made of durable materials, weather elements like rain, moisture, snow, saltwater, and excessive sunlight can still damage the surfaces. Don’t let water sit – wipe it away and cover the entire outdoor kitchen to protect it.
