Installed Bi-Level Cabinets

Outdoor Kitchen Design Tip: A bar height or bi-level bar with a smooth polymer back is very “knee friendly”. Some of the stone work you see on outdoor kitchens is beautiful, but OUCH it hurts if you scrape your knees when sitting at the bar.

In addition to saving installation hassle by skipping the construction of a retaining wall, an outdoor cabinet with the built-in bar height section is a very practical consideration with regard to seating comfort. If you sit at an outdoor kitchen bar in shorts and the wall is covered in stacked stone, this can be extremely painful if you bump your knees. With so much experience in outdoor kitchens, we often think of the practical application of an outdoor kitchen that is often overlooked by other outdoor kitchen designers. If you were to say “I like the stone look”, well that is a perfectly justified position. Our cabinetry can be enhanced and accented with stone. Look in our photo gallery for examples. But also consider where you put the stone. You might prefer to have a polymer backed bar for comfort.
