High Density Polyethylene, or HDPE, is one of the strongest choices available. It resists water, fading, and everyday wear while requiring little upkeep. Our cabinets use recycled HDPE with Sun Shield technology to block mold, mildew, and scratches, and each one comes with a lifetime warranty plus a wide range of colors and textures.

Wipe your cabinets down regularly with mild soap and water to clear away dirt, grease, and pollen. Use a stainless steel cleaner on metal surfaces to avoid water spots. Additionally, check hardware periodically for rust or loosening, and cover your outdoor kitchen during harsh weather for extra protection.

Explore Outdoor Kitchen Styles
Our outdoor kitchen design process starts with your ideas and ends with a finished space you love. From the first sketch to the final installation, our experts guide you through every step of the project. We take time to understand how you cook, entertain, and use your backyard before recommending a layout. Because every yard is different, we offer a range of styles and configurations that can be mixed and matched to fit your footprint. Therefore, you are never stuck choosing between form and function. Below are the core building blocks we use for projects throughout Columbus.
-
Base
Every great backyard setup starts with a solid layout for storage and prep space. The Designery offers 22 door styles, each available in multiple colors, so your setup fits your space and matches your home's overall aesthetic. These base units form the foundation of your outdoor kitchen, giving you storage and counter space right where you need it. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look or a more traditional style, our base options make it easy to match your outdoor kitchen to your home's overall design.
-
Built-In Grill
Connect your grill seamlessly to the rest of your layout. We design around any grill style or size, so your setup looks intentional and works efficiently no matter your equipment. In contrast to prefabricated units that force you to adjust your grill to fit, we build the station around what you already own. This keeps your workflow smooth, whether you are cooking for the family or hosting a full outdoor party.
-
Outdoor Sink
Add convenience to your layout with a dedicated sink station. Our team fits every sink to match your chosen fixture, making cooking and cleanup easy without stepping back inside. An outdoor sink also keeps food prep and dishwashing contained to one area, which helps your kitchen stay organized during larger gatherings. We can also add storage nearby for cleaning supplies, towels, or extra cookware.
-
Pre-configured Cabinets
Simplify your planning with pre-configured cabinets. These proven cabinet designs deliver a fully functional space without the extra decisions, saving you time and effort. This option works well for homeowners who want a faster turnaround or a more budget-friendly path to a finished space. Even with a set layout, you can still choose colors and finishes to keep the design personal.
Built to Handle Ohio Weather
Every project we build stands up to extreme heat, cold, moisture, and scratches without losing its good looks. Additionally, our materials resist fungus, mildew, and mold, which keeps cleanup simple and your kitchen looking newer for longer. Because we use recycled materials with Sun Shield technology, your setup also resists fading, giving you a sustainable choice that performs season after season. Unlike traditional wood builds, our materials will not rot, splinter, or absorb moisture over time. Therefore, you avoid the ongoing maintenance and repair costs that come with less durable options. This means your space continues to look and perform like new for many seasons after installation.
