01
WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?
Before designing your CUBIC outdoor kitchen in the UK, consider these important questions to get the most from your garden space :
What is the perfect position for your kitchen in the garden?
Is there a view?
What about the garden surface? Patio or deck? Maybe it's a roof terrace?
Which shape will fit your needs? Island, corner or straight? Even a U-shape?
Will your kitchen be built against a wall or is it accessible from all sides?
Will it be under a pergola or some kind of roof?
Will it be just an island?
Do you want a breakfast bar or seating?
03
WHICH MATERIALS DO YOU USE FOR THE CABINETS?
The carcass and cabinets of your CUBIC kitchen will be made from our exclusive, robust, 365-day, weather-proven, waterproof and sustainable specialist Cubic material – it's all a well-kept secret, but you can trust our vast experience in producing outdoor furniture for over 50 years. We use state-of-the-art machinery combined with traditional cabinet-making skills.
​There are several different options for the finished appearance of the materials we use for cupboards and drawers, check out some options:
C1 & C2 sleek surface
C1 & C2 Special grain effect (easy to keep clean!)
Special textured lacquer
C3 Style ceramic facings
C4's traditional & coastal look
02
WHICH APPLIANCES CAN I SPECIFY?
​You're probably already passionate about outdoor cooking.
​
​There is a wide range of different built-in outdoor kitchen appliances to integrate with your kitchen. If cooking is your passion, we offer the widest range of methods. For cooking, you might want to have one of our extraordinary contemporary gas barbecues – or a Green Egg/Kamado grill – and for sure a woodburning pizza oven – or maybe you'll cook the French way by using a plancha, a Japanese teppanyaki or even a Chinese wok induction hob. We offer all of these options – as well as tandoors, making us a top choice for outdoor kitchen appliances in the UK.
​
During cooking, you may also need some chilled drinks, so here you should complement the kitchen with our built-in outdoor fridge. A real fridge, not just a beer cooler. Ours will make ice, has a freezer compartment and will store food and salad properly. Of course, we also supply wine & beer coolers, perfect for any UK garden kitchen setup.
​
To round off your outdoor cooking experience and for hygiene, the sink could be another essential item if you have a water supply and drainage at the location. A dishwasher can make your outdoor kitchen design complete and eliminate the difference between the indoor and outdoor cooking experience.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A COUNTER TOP?
After deciding on style and colour of your kitchen, another important step will be to choose the perfect work surface. You will have the choice between ceramic porcelains, Boreal is a concrete look, or a natural stone such as granite. Ceramic is a hygienic super lightweight material, delivery is not so complicated and it is very suitable for roof terraces as well as gardens. We will ensure that cutouts for sinks and BBQs are always in the right place. There are 30+ colour/texture options.
​First, choose a style, C1, C2, C3 or C4. Typically, C1 has a 50mm thick worktop (although you can choose between 16mm-100mm). C2 worktops can be 16mm-50mm, although 16mm is standard. With C3 & C4, 16mm is standard, but with C3 you can choose to face the doors & drawers with matching or contrasting porcelain.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Each of our kitchens are built to a unique specification - yours. Typically, this can take from 6-10 weeks, plus shipping time, but we will always work to meet your project deadlines because we understand your mission is to complete your project on time.
WHAT ABOUT WARRANTY?
We stand for luxury, uniqueness and invincible high quality - with garden furniture, it is like good friendship - the best is long-lasting, decent and always there when needed. therefore the factory offers the best warranty in the industry
