Not
a beautiful swath of grass, nor a lush tree or three, or even a
colorful bed of flowers can make that lonely, oddly shapped, unused
area in the backyard into an alluring outdoor attraction, especially
if the change is going to
cost a lot.
Modular Outdoor
Addition
Fill that space with an affordable, outdoor kitchen and things start
looking up. Right?
And with 1.9 million design
possibilities you simply put in place and fire up, what's not to
love?
According to the National Association of Home
Builders (NAHB), adding an outdoor kitchen increases the value of
your home.
And the ROI can be as much as 130%! So be
careful not to get the cheapest model you can find -- you want it to
last. It's better to start out small, and add on later.
Modular
outdoor kitchens costs 40% less than their built-in counterparts.
And they install 60% quicker.
But
what you may not know is that they also carry a
fabulous line of outdoor
kitchen units
.
The image below shows
you one of their setups.
With
options in both charcoal and natural gas, and grill areas
15-26 inches deep by 4 feet wide, wood smokers, side burners,
stainless steel, happy colors, faux stone, and wood grain finishes made to
withstand the elements, modular outdoor kitchen designs are showing
up everywhere, including at AuthenTeak.
They're also running
specials like $25.00 off and $100.00 off your next purchase.
The
weather-resistant, light-weight cabinetry is perfect for mixing and matching
frame kits and different grill shapes and sizes -- especially if you
need to also accommodate outdoor kitchen
appliances from different manufacturers.
Then there's the
backyard barbeque store.
Their speciality is pre-engineered
outdoor kitchens that guarantee your
investment lasts a lifetime. Here's one of their units.
Modular in design, these have
industrial grade extruded aluminum frames with weather-worthy finishes
like faux stone, stainless steel, simulated wood grain,
and faux stucco.
Whether built-in or modular, today's take on
outdoor kitchens is well-stocked, full-service and custom.
So modular designs just make sense. They make it
possible for us to have more of the options that make an
outdoor kitchen as functional as it is convenient -- without
breaking the bank.
A cook zone, food prep
surfaces, clean-up areas, great storage, plus outdoor kitchen
accessories are all easily affordable at a fraction of
the expense in dollars and time.
