Prefab or Custom Kitchens...What's Right For You?

When it comes to creating the outdoor kitchen of your dreams, the first crucial decision is whether to opt for a prefab or custom-framed design.  Designing and building or buying your dream outdoor kitchen set-up is easier than ever. With all the options available today it can get overwhelming trying to find the perfect solution that suits your needs. So, that’s where we come in, as experts in the outdoor kitchen industry we’ve seen just about everything and know how to choose kitchen components you’ll be enjoying for years. Take a look at some of our favorite premium brands that we carry.

Here are a few points to consider if a prefab outdoor kitchen set-up is right for you:

• Fewer options to choose from. Generally, modular or prefab options offer less freedom for design than custom options but there are usually enough modular units to build your kitchen in whichever configuration you prefer.

• More Economical Choice Than Custom Typically, these are manufactured at volume by our brands and they are usually a more price-conscious option than going for a full custom set-up.

• Quicker ship time.  Notably, if you’re looking to get an outdoor kitchen up and running in around a week this will be your best option. Most of our prefab islands are stocked and ready to ship out right away.
