CUSTOM OUTDOOR KITCHENS | NORTH CAROLINA
Outdoor Kitchens That Keep You Part of the Gathering
Cooking outside should leave you with more time around the people you invited over. Sun Plus Shield designs and builds outdoor kitchens for Triangle homeowners, with layouts, materials, and appliances chosen around the way you cook and entertain.
From a straightforward grilling area to a fully featured outdoor kitchen, we help you make sense of the options and create a space that works for your family.
Start With How You Want to Use It
A kitchen for occasional dinners has different needs from one that hosts every football weekend, birthday party, and neighborhood gathering. We help you decide which features earn their place and how they should work together.
01
Cooking and preparation
Plan the grill, work surfaces, and any additional cooking features around the meals you enjoy making.
02
Storage and convenience
Place drawers, refrigeration, and a sink where they support your routine, with utility needs considered early in the design.
03
Room to gather
Arrange seating and circulation so guests can move comfortably and the person cooking can stay part of the conversation.
MATERIALS & PRODUCT SELECTION
Choose Materials for the Years Ahead
You don’t need to become an outdoor-kitchen expert to make a good decision. We walk you through aluminum, stainless steel, glass-fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and other construction options based on appearance, features, durability, and your plans for the space. There’s no project too small.
We also help you compare brands beyond name recognition, focusing on the quality and performance that matter for outdoor use. From the cabinet construction to what belongs in each drawer, the goal is a kitchen that supports the way you want to live outside.
BRANDS WE LOVE AND RECOMMEND
Fire Magic, Novo, Stoll Industries, Napoleon, Primo, American Outdoor Grill, American Made Grills, Videl.
Outdoor Kitchen Questions
What should an outdoor kitchen include?
It depends on how you cook and entertain. Most start with a grill, counter space, and storage, then add a sink, refrigeration, or additional cooking features based on how often you host and what you like to make.
Which materials are best for an outdoor kitchen?
Aluminum, stainless steel, GFRC, and HDPE each hold up differently outdoors and carry different price points. We’ll walk through the trade-offs based on your climate exposure, maintenance preferences, and budget.
Can you help plan the layout and utilities?
Yes. We handle the full layout, including gas, water, and electrical planning, so the kitchen works efficiently and meets code from the start.
