Looks amazing. Any concerns with such a heavy countertop resting on the metal studs? That's my concern. My local stores only offer 25 gauge metal studs and I worry about the weight of a concrete countertop resting on top.
@@thomaschurch8383 not specifically. However there is a decent size hike where the gas comes out to the grill. There is also about a one inch gap all around the structure on the bottom.
Metal tracks...they didn't have the proper gauge track at my local HD. So just went with using the normal studs throughout. Regarding the tape, what I used is the proper tape designed for gas connections, not the normal Teflon.
@@neiljackson8313 thank you. SketchUp does not. But you can get that from the respective data sheets and then putting that into sketch up will help you with the overall design.
@@MatthewGerken2028 nothing specific other than the few clips I had at the beginning of the video. The plans of course will also change based on the specific components you are using. But it's certainly not hard, you can do it!!!!
The dimensions will probably be different for you given your equipment and available space ( I would have made mine longer to add in a griddle if I had the space). However the frame for me was 101.5" x 32.5" and 33" tall.
I think building it with 2x4 would be just fine and much easier. However, I would do it with metal studs, even if it was a little further from the house to be on the safe side.
@@kathydallemolle276 I coated the cement board with that blue waterproof membrane. There is a stainless steel trim that came with the grill that is placed there. It's tight but probably not water tight.
That's amazing work, congrats and enjoy the fun times grilling.
@@Goztepe-uf6si thank you
Excellent job. Thank you!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words 👍

No concerns on this build. The studs put together in that configuration is very strong. If you are concerned, possible add more vertical studs?
I finished my own island using many of the tips from this video. Thank you!
@pikapp552 excellent. Congratulations
Absolutely amazing man! Are you in Chicago? Would love something like this in my yard!
@JoseHernandez-uv6wf thank you very much. You can certainly do this.
looks awesome. did you vent the area where gas is connected?
@@thomaschurch8383 not specifically. However there is a decent size hike where the gas comes out to the grill. There is also about a one inch gap all around the structure on the bottom.
Is there any reason why you didn't use metal tracks? is it okay to use teflon tape in gas fittings where you are working at?
Tx

Dam that looks great! When using Sketch-up, does it recommend the dimensions for the different cabinets and cut outs?

Super nice
@@dommed2978 thank you
Do you have plans to share? Loved this video

Great video! What software did you use to create the stud layout?
@@arjunbhattacharya3623 SketchUp desktop version
Can you give the building measurements of the frame?
The dimensions will probably be different for you given your equipment and available space ( I would have made mine longer to add in a griddle if I had the space). However the frame for me was 101.5" x 32.5" and 33" tall.
Fire bro!! Great job!! Can you us the griddle insert on that Weber model?
@@DP-lx1jn the Weber Griddle does not fit I believe. I however bought a "Little Griddle" model from Amazon and it works almost as great.
What did you use to come up with your drawing?
@@bryanholland3198 SketchUp
Amazing! Would you use 2x4 if you were to build it away from the house?
I think building it with 2x4 would be just fine and much easier. However, I would do it with metal studs, even if it was a little further from the house to be on the safe side.
@@MakingHomeBetter got it. Thanks and good job. Next I ll have to finish watching your crown molding LED video for my daughter a room.
If something goes wrong with this grill, it can be removed and another added, correct?
@@namelesscommneter7003 yup... Size can't be changed but the grill can
what did you put around the gas grill to prevent water from seeping in?
@@kathydallemolle276 I coated the cement board with that blue waterproof membrane. There is a stainless steel trim that came with the grill that is placed there. It's tight but probably not water tight.
What’s the design program that you use?
@@amynguyentran3723 sketch up
How many hours did this take? Thanks!
This took a bit longer as the overall structure is large. I would say maybe 5-10 days for me.
Which program you used for the design
SketchUp is what I always use. It's fairly powerful and there is a free desktop version available.
