Factors to consider when buying an outdoor kitchen
When choosing an outdoor kitchen, it’s about finding the right balance between functionality, aesthetics and durability. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.
1. Materials and weather resistance
An outdoor kitchen must withstand wind, rain and temperature fluctuations. Stainless steel, concrete, granite and teak are popular choices, as they are both robust and easy to maintain. Choose materials that suit the climate and style of your garden.
2. Placement and connections
The placement has a major impact on both function and comfort. Make sure there is easy access to water, electricity and possibly gas. Also consider wind direction and sunlight – a covered area can extend the season and protect the kitchen.
3. Features and equipment
Consider which features you need. Should it include a built-in grill, sink, fridge or storage modules? A simple setup may be enough for summer barbecues, while a fully equipped kitchen offers greater flexibility.
4. Maintenance
Choose materials and surfaces that are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance. Cover the outdoor kitchen in winter, and clean the grill and surfaces regularly to extend its lifespan.
5. Price and budget
The price depends on size, materials and equipment. A smaller modular outdoor kitchen can be obtained at a reasonable price, while customised solutions with exclusive materials are at the higher end. Consider how much you will actually use the kitchen, and choose accordingly.

Different types of outdoor kitchens
Outdoor kitchens come in many shapes and sizes, and the choice depends on space, needs and budget. Here are some of the most common types.
1. Modular outdoor kitchens
These kitchens consist of modules that can be assembled as needed. You can start with a grill and later add a sink, worktop or storage. This provides flexibility and the opportunity to adapt the kitchen over time.
2. Freestanding outdoor kitchens
A freestanding outdoor kitchen is a complete unit that can be placed anywhere in the garden or on the terrace. It’s a good solution if you want a simple setup without fixed connections.
3. Built-in outdoor kitchens
This type is integrated into the terrace or a wall and gives an exclusive and permanent look. Built-in kitchens require more planning but provide an elegant and cohesive appearance in the garden.
4. Mobile outdoor kitchens
A mobile outdoor kitchen on wheels is ideal for small gardens or balconies. It can easily be moved as needed and stored indoors outside the season. Perfect for flexible use and smaller outdoor areas.

Frequently asked questions
Which materials are best suited for outdoor kitchens?
Stainless steel, concrete, granite and hardwood such as teak are among the most durable materials. They withstand weather and wind and require minimal maintenance compared to softer woods or laminates.
Should an outdoor kitchen be under a roof?
It’s an advantage, but not a requirement. A half-roof or pergola protects against rain and sun, which extends the lifespan of both materials and equipment. Alternatively, you can use a sturdy cover.
Can you have water and electricity in an outdoor kitchen?
Yes, but it requires correct installation. Water supply and drainage should be carried out by a professional, and electrical connections must be approved for outdoor use to avoid moisture damage and short circuits.
How do you maintain an outdoor kitchen?
Clean surfaces after use, empty the grill of ash, and cover the kitchen during the winter months. Wood can benefit from oil, while steel and stone only require wiping with a mild cleaning agent.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
Prices range from around NOK 5,000 for a simple grill station to over NOK 50,000 for a fully equipped, customised kitchen. It depends on materials, size and features.
