Covered Patio Ideas for Outside Kitchen

Great cookouts and alfresco dining experiences start with a well-designed outdoor kitchen. As one of the most sought-after home improvements today, creating an inviting but functional outside kitchen can transform your backyard into an oasis for family and friends. At the heart of this transformation are covered patio options that not only provide protection from weather elements but also add a touch of sophistication to the outdoor setting. That's where StruXure Central Coast’s expertise comes into play.

StruXure Central Coast specializes in creating stylish and functional covered patio options for outside kitchens. They understand that delivering the perfect outdoor culinary and dining experience requires an artful blend of functionality and aesthetics. Whether you’re grilling a simple weeknight dinner or hosting a lavish weekend barbecue party, StruXure Central Coast’s custom-designed pergolas and cabanas ensure your outdoor cooking and dining experience is as comfortable as it is delightful. 

Pergolas and Cabanas

Incorporating pergolas and cabanas in your outside kitchen can significantly elevate the outdoor cooking experience for a variety of reasons.

Weather Protection

Outdoor kitchens are subject to the changing moods of the weather. A covered patio, facilitated by pergolas or cabanas, provides necessary protection from the elements—be it the summer sun's relentless heat, a sudden rain shower, or a chilly breeze.

Aesthetic Appeal

Besides their functional value, pergolas and cabanas add a significant aesthetic appeal to your outside kitchen. With various designs to choose from, StruXure Central Coast ensures that these structures not only offer comfort, but also enhance the overall ambiance of your outdoor space.

Customizability

The versatility of pergolas and cabanas allows homeowners to create an outside kitchen that matches their taste and needs. From the materials used to the color, size, and additional features, StruXure Central Coast allows for a completely personalized outdoor kitchen experience.

Property Value

Well-designed and functional outdoor kitchens with covered patios can increase your property's value. The luxury and convenience they offer make them a sought-after feature for potential homebuyers.

Design Elements

Having the right design elements in place lays the foundation for an impressive outdoor kitchen. Here are some key elements to consider.

Roofing

Starting from the top, StruXure Central Coast offers versatile roofing options such as the StruXure Pergola X, designed for adaptability and resilience. The adjustable louver system allows for control over sun exposure and weather protection while providing aesthetic appeal.

Weather-resistance

Opting for weather-resistant furniture ensures longevity and ease of maintenance, without compromising on style. StruXure Central Coast can offer guidance on the best furniture selections that harmonize with your pergolas or cabanas.

Lighting

A balance of ambient and task lighting creates a soft glow illuminating the kitchen area after sunset and provides safety when cooking. With countless outdoor lighting options available, you can carve out a unique atmosphere and functionality.

Additional Amenities

Elements such as StruXure Central Coast's MagnaTrack Screens can be a game-changer to elevate the convenience and comfort level of your outside kitchen. These motorized, retractable screens allow you to adjust your outdoor kitchen's exposure to the elements or pests based on your preference.
