Pallet wood Weber grill table project on a budget
Discussion
Disastrous said:
Impressed with all these. My Weber sits out the back of the flat at the moment but we're planning a move to a house with our own garden this year and something like this will be top of my agenda.
One question/immediate thought:
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to keeping the Webber on it's tripod and making a table to sort of sit along side it, with a semi-circular cutout so it butts up neatly to the kettle??
I guess it might not look quite so resolved but would give you a bit of flexibility in terms of being able to separate grill from table for re-varnishing or whatever...
Think I will do this - looking for an old teak garden table on eBay now.One question/immediate thought:

Thanks OP. Not helping my addiction to house projects here. Great job, by the way.

Made a start today...
Spend so far (£66):
I need another piece of 3x2 to finish the bracing for the actual BBQ and then some decking boards. Probably 8 should do it.
We had a spare piece of granite so i've made space on top so I can put the starter on it.
The only issue I have is that it's going to be difficult to get it from the garage to the back garden as i forgot to take into account the soil pipe whilst thinking about access. It's likely that i'll move the frame into the garden then put the top on once it's in position
Impressive work. V2 looks good also, but I only need a single one to start with so want to have a crack at one of these too. Are those main timbers 4x2?Spend so far (£66):

I've just finished mine! Just in time for peak October bbq season..
Apart from the top frame timbers and the ply it is all second hand wood that was lying around and an old kitchen cupboard. A few coats of black Osmo should keep it from rotting away. The metal wire basket at the bottom is saved from my old Weber Performer that eventually rusted through the bottom after about 17 years outside. I may yet come to regret making the top of this one out of ply, but we'll see how it fares outdoors. If it fails terribly at least I now have a template to get one cut in stainless.
Thanks to all on this thread for inspiration!

My table is getting there, I’ve just done the actual table top bit and lower shelf bit with some big sheets of OSB. I’m planning on tiling the top at some point, but in the mean time it’s getting wet.
OSB is water resistant to a point, but I’m thinking I should paint it (potentially the whole table) with something anyway. Any suggestions on what best to use? I’ve never bothered painting anything external before so am not really up on the options.

Cut my old workbench from the garage up today. Turning it into a outdoor kitchen bench. Shelf under for the kamado and pizza oven, so there is loads of space up top. Also have a rotisserie on route, so can build that in
What do people do, paint them and then seal? The top is covered in oil spots etc. So I’d like to paint and seal it
Had a moment of genius to cut the perfect circle! (Router is also screwed down)
Update:
Mock up, I was trying to get the bracket on the edge, but ta too long, so will just make something.
Going to get some paint on it today. Went with a dark grey, match the patio!

Following this thread for years, finally got round to building one of these.
I'm most defiantly amateur with very limited skills so if you are thinking of having a go it can made quite simply.
Frame first:
Bottom shelving
Top
Bit of stain and bbq to finish
Of course it's rained pretty much every day in July....
