Outdoor Entertaining from Tailgating to Thanksgiving
August 27, 2012 Outdoor Cooking, Patio DesignIf you can’t be at the game, opt for the next best thing: watch the game with friends in the comfort of your own outdoor living room. Setting up your patio for tailgating combines the best of both worlds.
The first step is creating a comfortable outdoor viewing area. Just because you’re outdoors doesn’t mean you have to forego the cozy couches or the television. Your outdoor living area is a true extension of your home – why not make it as comfortable as the inside?
Your patio can be wired for a TV and sound system – perfect for watching the big game. And built-in seating adds a comfortable and festive place to lounge when covered with cushions in your team’s colors.
The next step is establishing your outdoor kitchen. Don’t limit yourself to a little Hibachi charcoal griller out on the driveway. Your outdoor cook space can be fully stocked with every appliance and convenience you need for cooking a backyard feast. Just think about cooking outside without having to make trips back and forth into the house!
Consider all the elements of a high-function cooking area:
- Built-in gas grill
- Sideburner
- Pizza oven
- Drawers and cabinets
- Raised bar top and counter space
- Sinks
- Refrigerator
- Ice maker
- Wine cooler
