Why Add an Outdoor Kitchen to Your Deck?
Outdoor kitchens are more than just trendy—they’re practical, value-boosting upgrades that change how you enjoy your home.
1. Ultimate Outdoor Living Experience
You don’t need to go inside to prep food or clean up. With the right setup, you can cook, eat, and relax all in one place.
2. Boosts Home Value
A well-designed outdoor kitchen can increase your home’s resale value and appeal to buyers looking for high-end amenities.
3. Ideal for Entertaining
Whether it’s casual BBQs or formal dinners, outdoor kitchens keep the host in the action. No more running between the deck and the indoor kitchen.
4. Keeps the Indoors Cooler
Cooking outdoors reduces indoor heat during Long Island’s warmer months, which can lower cooling costs.
Key Features of an Outdoor Kitchen Deck
Every outdoor kitchen is unique, but some essential elements include:
Grill Station
The centerpiece of any outdoor kitchen. Choose from:
-
Built-in gas grills
-
Charcoal BBQs
-
Smokers or pizza ovens
We can design the layout around your preferred appliance type.
Countertops and Prep Areas
Durable, weatherproof surfaces like granite, concrete, or stainless steel provide space for chopping, serving, and prepping.
Cabinetry and Storage
Weatherproof cabinets made from stainless steel or marine-grade polymer help store utensils, dishes, and ingredients year-round.
Sink and Plumbing
A sink makes food prep and cleanup easier. Depending on layout and plumbing access, we can integrate hot and cold water lines.
Refrigeration
Mini-fridges or beverage coolers keep drinks cold and ingredients fresh. Some homeowners even add a kegerator or wine fridge.
Lighting
Built-in LED lighting makes your space usable at night. Under-counter, overhead, and task lights enhance function and ambiance.
Electrical Outlets
Power blenders, mixers, or speakers. A safe, GFCI-protected outlet plan is key to modern outdoor kitchens.
Outdoor Kitchen Layout Ideas
Your layout will depend on your deck’s size and how you plan to use it. Popular options include:
-
Straight-line kitchens against one wall or railing
-
L-shaped layouts for corner decks
-
U-shaped kitchens for large cooking spaces with multiple zones
-
Island-style setups that double as bars or dining counters
Need help choosing? Our design team will walk you through functional options that suit your lifestyle and space.
Best Materials for Long Island Weather
Outdoor kitchens must withstand humidity, coastal salt air, wind, and seasonal temperature swings. We recommend:
-
Composite or PVC decking: Non-porous, mold-resistant, and low-maintenance
-
Stainless steel cabinetry: Durable and rust-resistant
-
Granite or concrete counters: UV and stain resistant
-
Weather-sealed appliances: Rated for outdoor use
At Eled Decking, we select only high-quality materials designed for Long Island’s unique climate.
Building Permits and Safety Considerations
Outdoor kitchens often require permits—especially when plumbing, gas, or electrical work is involved. We’ll handle all:
-
Local permit applications
-
Compliance with building codes
-
Safe installation of gas and water lines
-
Coordination with licensed electricians and plumbers
Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
