Buying a romantic, country-style or modern outdoor kitchen is one of the best choices you can make if you love the good life. After all, what could be nicer than enjoying delicious dishes or snacks in the garden with your friends or family whenever you like? And enjoying a nice alcoholic tipple together?
The answers to these questions are obvious: there's not much that can beat the comfort of your own wooden outdoor kitchen or garden kitchen. But it is important to think carefully about where the outdoor kitchen will be located. Establishing the exact dimensions of your outdoor kitchen is crucial here.
But how do you measure up for a garden kitchen properly, without making unnecessary calculation errors or misjudgements? Read on for professional tips and advice on establishing the best dimensions for your outdoor kitchen!
Here's how to determine the right worktop height
In fact, determining the correct dimensions for your outdoor kitchen isn't so different from how it works for a standard kitchen indoors. The most important thing is that you can use your kitchen comfortably and to the full without having to stoop or bend.
The height of the worktop is particularly important here, because you don't want to end up with back problems or aching muscles because the worktop is too low or too high. If the worktop is too low, you'll undoubtedly suffer from back pain while cooking or preparing food. Conversely, a worktop that's too high is annoying because you're constantly working above your comfortable reach.
And that gets annoying very quickly! So test the height at which the worktop should ideally be. In principle, it's best to stick to the height you use for your kitchen indoors. Then you know you have the right height that's most comfortable for you.
Determining the length and width of your outdoor kitchen
The right length and width of your outdoor kitchen are determined by two factors. Are you choosing a standard outdoor kitchen, i.e. a ready-made model? Then you know in advance what to expect in terms of length and width. It's important, of course, to check whether the outdoor kitchen's size allows it to be installed in the desired spot in the garden without making the garden feel too crowded.
It's important that you leave enough space on all sides of your outdoor kitchen to cook comfortably and safely. And, of course, that you leave enough space for a lounge set or garden table so you can eat together. So bear this in mind when you're looking for a particular size of outdoor kitchen.
As well as a standard version of an outdoor kitchen, you can of course also decide to determine the length, width and height of your outdoor kitchen yourself. After all, with us the customer is always king. You can then have your outdoor kitchen made to measure by a kitchen specialist or a carpenter.
This option is more expensive than buying a standard outdoor kitchen, because you're not buying a factory model. Handmade kitchens require more working hours and therefore more cost. But if you really want a bespoke result, a personalised outdoor kitchen is the best choice you can make. You choose the dimensions yourself and get a superb, top-quality outdoor kitchen delivered!
