An Outdoor Kitchen You'll Actually Use
Picture a summer afternoon with friends over, a drink in hand and everything you need within arm's reach — no running back inside for a plate. We design and build outdoor kitchens that hold up to real Australian conditions: sun, salt air, rain and everyday wear.
From a fully equipped alfresco kitchen with sink, fridge and storage, through to a new porcelain benchtop that lifts an existing BBQ area, every project is designed around your space and how you like to entertain.
- Materials that still look good in ten years, not just ten months
- Smart storage, prep space and appliance integration
- Easy-clean finishes rather than high-maintenance ones
- A natural flow between indoor and outdoor living
- Room to entertain without crowding the house
- A layout that works for two people or twelve

The Benchtop
Quantum Porcelain
Porcelain is the surface we recommend for outdoor kitchens, and it's what we install. It's the most heat and UV resistant option we offer, so it copes with a benchtop that sits beside a working BBQ and with hours of direct Australian sun. It's non-porous, so red wine, oil and marinade don't stain, and it wipes clean with warm soapy water.
Choose from natural stone tones through to dramatic dark veining, in 20mm and 40mm thicknesses, cut to measure for your space.

The Cabinetry
Polytec Alfresco Doors
Indoor cabinet doors don't last outdoors. Polytec Alfresco is Compact laminate made specifically for Australian conditions — moisture resistant, and built for humidity, heat and the temperature swings of a Sydney backyard.
The range runs through neutrals, greys and timber looks, so you can match the house or deliberately contrast with it. Full-size samples are at the Taren Point showroom, or we'll bring them to your design visit.

Which Layout Suits Your Backyard?
Your designer will work this out on site, but here's the shorthand.
Straight Line
The most common choice for a covered alfresco area or a narrow courtyard. Everything sits along one wall — BBQ, prep space, sink — which keeps the run of stone simple and the cost down.
L-Shaped
Adds a return for extra prep and serving space, and separates cooking from where people stand and talk. A good fit when the alfresco area wraps a corner of the house.
U-Shape or Island
For larger spaces where you want a proper bar to gather around. Gives you the most bench space and lets the cook face guests rather than a wall.

Good to Know
Outdoor Kitchen FAQs
Are your benchtops suitable for outdoor kitchens?
We install Quantum Porcelain in outdoor kitchens. It handles heat and UV better than any other surface we offer, and it's non-porous, so it resists staining from food, drink and weather. A covered area such as a pergola or awning still gives you the best long-term result.
What cabinets and doors are best outdoors?
We use Polytec Alfresco doors and cabinetry made specifically for Australian outdoor conditions. The Compact laminate is moisture resistant and built to cope with humidity, heat and the temperature swings of a Sydney backyard.
Can you replace the benchtop on my existing outdoor kitchen?
Yes. We remove the old benchtop and install a new porcelain surface made to measure. It's a common project on its own, and often the fastest way to lift an alfresco area that's otherwise sound.
Will it withstand the weather?
Our surfaces handle heat, cold and moisture well. As with any surface, prolonged direct sunlight can cause some fading over many years, so a pergola, awning or roofed alfresco area gives you the best longevity.
How do I look after an outdoor benchtop?
Wipe it down with warm soapy water after use. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, use a chopping board for food preparation, and put a trivet under anything straight off the BBQ to avoid thermal shock.
Can you install a sink, fridge or dishwasher?
Yes. We design around whatever appliances you want built in — sinks, bar fridges, kegerators, dishwashers — and coordinate the plumbing and electrical trades so everything is integrated properly.
Do outdoor kitchens need council approval?
Often not, particularly where the kitchen sits under an existing roof or pergola and no new structure is being built. Approval is more likely to come into play if your project involves significant plumbing or electrical work, or a new structure. We'll talk through what's involved at your free design visit, and your council is the final word.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the project and the trades involved. After your design visit we complete a detailed check measure, then your benchtops are custom made before installation begins. You'll get clear dates in your quote rather than a guess.
Where do you work?
We serve homes across the Sutherland Shire, St George, the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, the Lower North Shore and South Western Sydney. Coverage varies by region, so check your postcode when you book a quote.
