Our outdoor kitchen frames use light-gauge metal stud modules — the same class of materials used in commercial and residential construction. Each panel is cut and labeled so you can assemble a straight, L, U, or 135° island without welding. After the frame is up, add cement board, stone or stucco, and drop in your appliances.
