- Building a BBQ Island?
We all have to start somewhere! Considering that outdoor kitchen materials quite literally make the foundation of your project… It makes sense to begin here.
Before you decide what type of BBQ island you want to build… You have to consider what materials you want to use.
If you’ve spent any time researching materials already… You know how overwhelming it can be!
There are a ton of outdoor kitchen materials out there.
But you need to know which ones are best for your project.
That’s what we seek to answer for you today.
We’re going to discuss all of the most common grill island materials used… From the frame, to the cladding material, to the countertops.
You’ll even learn about a completely revolutionary outdoor kitchen solution!
Pretty great, right?
We’ll let the video do all the talking… But let’s discuss a few of the materials we discuss for building a BBQ island.
First, we’ll tell you all about framing materials. The most common is metal, followed by wood. An outdoor kitchen made with cinder blocks is another option!
Although outdoor kitchen made out of wood is a bit easier to work with… We don’t recommend it.
You’ll just have to watch the video to learn why!
In this video… You’ll also learn about countertop materials.
Outdoor kitchen counter materials can also be a quite confusing topic.
We’ll clear the air.
No matter what materials you choose… We are thrilled you are building a BBQ island!
There’s no better way to spruce up your outdoor living space. We can almost smell the burgers now!

Thanks for the break down, very well said.
Thank you, Gregory! Glad you found the content valuable.
I'm using B2000 parging in my cold climate. It's tough as nails will last for decades, and looks a lot like a grey stucco.
Tengo una pregunta , me dicen que si ago una extructura de blockes (blocks cylinders) tengo que poner hardie board para poner rocas Porque el block cylinder es muy poroso espero tu respuesta y Gracias por tus videos
What would you suggest for building on a wooden deck in the PNW on the waterfront (freshwater lake, not saltwater)? I don’t want a massive amount of weight but obviously have to deal with a lot of moisture.
Hi Matt! Sounds like a beautiful spot! I'd highly recommend checking out our MOK's line of outdoor kitchens. The panels are composed of a durable Marine-Grade composite, lighter than our concrete panels, or a masonry built kitchen. Lightweight and ready for all of the elements!
Is it different for different regions? I livein Florida
Excellent question! Yes, with the humidity, sun, and coastal air of Florida, you'll want to be mindful of which materials you choose for you outdoor kitchen.
If you're opting for a kitchen with a metal frame, there is a higher chance of rust. If you're kitchen has multiple layers, being in Florida, there is a higher chance of the layers peeling apart over the years. You'll also want to make sure the appliances you install are made with 304 stainless steel, as it will be the most resistant to the weather in that environment.
RTA's outdoor kitchens has two lines of outdoor kitchens. Both are completely frameless, one is made out of single concrete-composite panels and the other a marine-grade composite. Perfect for Florida!
Aluminum Frame??? Left out ……
Yes, we left it out of this video but touch on it in more detail in a blog I've linked below. To sum it up, even though aluminum does not contain iron, and will not rust like metal, it can still oxidize in climates that have a high humidity or heavy exposure to rainfall or flooding.
Depending on where you live, aluminum may work quite well for your project! Since we build kitchens for every climate, when thinking about using materials with true longevity, and therefore would not recommend an aluminum frame
