You certainly don’t want to spend time in a hot kitchen making dinner when the family is outside enjoying the swimming pool, do you? Not many people do and that’s why they are working with their Memphis, Tennessee swimming pool contractors to have outdoor kitchens installed. An outdoor kitchen offers you a space to eat and cook and entertain out of doors at poolside.
Having your kitchen constructed adjacent to the patio or pool or in a screened-in porch area means you are never far away from 
the fun. Talk with your pool contractor about the placement of the kitchen and the type of base it will be settled on; it doesn’t need to be constructed on a slab, it can be placed in the middle of a grassy section of your yard. Your outdoor kitchen can also house a barbecue pit or a range and cook top. Ask your contractor about the inclusion of a sink, wood-fired oven, electric and gas hookups or other convenience items.
Your swimming pool builder from Advanced Pools will work with you to consider the location for your project and will work with you to apply for building permits for the project. Plan the kitchen placement in a way that will minimize the degree to which smoke, noise and light will infringe on your neighbor’s yards. You also need to think about your own desire for privacy when you are cooking and entertaining.
Convenience and location to electric and water hook ups will figure into the final placement decisions. You will also want to decide whether you want it to look as if it’s a separate entity from your pool area or whether you want it to blend in seamlessly as part of your backyard décor. You will have a decision to make for your kitchen: will it be an attached or a detached outdoor kitchen design. An attached kitchen is accessible by either a short walk through or a pass-through window to make it easier to transport food to and from.
Constructing a gazebo to shelter the outdoor kitchen is also a great option you may want to review. To add value to your home you want to design the area so it complements the style and color of your house. No matter what kind of outdoor kitchen you construct, there is no doubt that this addition will enhance your backyard enjoyment.
Isn’t it time to spend even more time out of doors this summer!
