TOP TIPS FOR AN
OUTDOOR KITCHEN
“Firstly, work out everything
you would love in your outdoor
kitchen. Measure it out in
the space to make sure it will
all fit and you’re happy
with the configuration, before
you order and build.”
“If you have a roof, there is
a requirement to have open
sides in your barbecue area.
Check your barbecue’s
specifications to make sure you
don’t need to add a rangehood.”

“Creating destinations and a sense
of curiosity in the garden is such
a fun approach,” says Inge Jabara,
explaining how she tackled this
backyard layout. “I started with
the most important part, which is the
deck, and worked from there.” Half of
the remaining space was dedicated to
lawn, but there was still plenty to work
with – including space for a paved
lounge-style entertaining area. “There’s
no harm in having two entertainment
zones, because Australians entertain
in so many different ways,” Inge says.
“This way, the adults can sit up on the
deck and the kids can go down to their
own space.” For the best access to full
morning sun, the vegetable garden
was placed in the back left corner,
with a kids’ play area to the right.
“We created an extension of the dining and kitchen area, moving
out to a big deck that’s an entertainer’s delight”
