Talk to me about outdoor living areas / kitchens

[flyingjase]

Really fancy building an outdoor kitchen and a functional outdoor living area. Something you can enjoy all summer but has undercover bits, so it can still be used when it rains. I would like to get somethning it ready for next spring.

Like the look of these:

I would want a charcoal & gas BBQs, a pizza oven, funky lighting, beer fridge, lots of space to chill out and relax.

Has anyone on here built a great outdoor area? Who designed it for you?

Any photos for inspiration?

Don't forget to include AV. A cheeky little bar area with outdoor projector and surround sound is a must have.

Defo a bar area - hadn't thought about a projector, was thinking a weather proofed Plasma......maybe a projector is better though.

I made something along those lines a few years ago.
I'm in the stainless fabrication business, so I did it all out of stainless and made it mobile. It lives in our summerhouse and can be wheeled out when entertaining.
I incorporated a glass door wine 'fridge, a SMEG twin gas hob, storage and music.
Gets loads of use and plenty of positive comments.

It's currently all packed away for the winter, in the summer house and burried behind garden furniture, bikes and garden toys etc. Sorry I can't help with a photo.
Would be happy to discuss further though, if you want to PM me.
