Kitchens have long been referred to as “the heart of the home”, where meals are made, conversations are had and laughter is shared. However, they are also the place where guests gather and linger during parties, causing your house to quickly become too crowded, too loud and too messy.
Between Fourth of July cookouts and pool parties, summertime is filled of reasons to celebrate. Are you looking to host parties that are fun and functional this summer season? You should consider building an outdoor kitchen. An easy expansion to your home’s outdoor living space, an outdoor kitchen allows you to prepare meals and interact with your guests all at once. Forget the endless running back and forth between the kitchen and backyard for food, drinks and plates. With an outdoor kitchen, you can keep the cool air sealed inside your home and keep messy guests outside.
The design options for your outdoor kitchen are endless, allowing you to truly tailor your kitchen’s features to your family’s budget. No matter what style or look of kitchen you are going for to add to your home’s outdoor space, Fischer Lumber Co. has the basics at an affordable price:
• The lumber. Whether you want your outdoor kitchen to contain an island or bar for cooking or a seating area of benches for guests, we offer a full line of quality lumber including: plywood as well as panels and pressure treated and fire retardant-treated wood. We also supply a wide variety of cedar and treated decking, porch and rail materials.
