Custom Outdoor Kitchen Integration: Transform Your Patio Cover into a Culinary Oasis

Custom Outdoor Kitchen Integration
Design and build a fun, integrated outdoor kitchen that fits within your patio cover
Welcome to Your Ultimate Integrated Patio Kitchen
At Best of Backyard (which owns Lion BBQ Direct), we specialize in designing and building custom outdoor kitchens that fit seamlessly within your existing patio cover. Our approach is ideal for maximizing shade and functionality—especially when a patio post might otherwise disrupt your space.
If you’ve ever wondered, “How can I design an outdoor kitchen that fits within my patio cover?” or “What are the best ways to work around patio posts?” you’re in the right place!
The Modular Integration Technique
Our Modular Integration Technique involves constructing your outdoor kitchen island in several interlocking segments. Each segment is custom-designed to wrap around your existing patio posts, transforming potential obstacles into stylish design features.
This innovative method optimizes space and shade while delivering a professional, fun custom outdoor kitchen design.
Process Examples: From Fabrication to Finishing
Here’s a real-world look at how we bring your integrated outdoor kitchen to life:
- Step 1 – Fabrication: We start by fabricating the island in modular segments. The image below shows the raw, unfinished pieces, precisely cut to size.

- Step 2 – Assembly: Next, the segments are assembled on-site. Each piece is carefully fitted around existing patio posts, turning them into an integral part of the design.

- Step 3 – Finishing Touches: Finally, we add finishing touches like energy-efficient LED lighting and custom seating. The night-time view of the completed kitchen shows how it transforms your patio cover into a vibrant space.

3D Visualization & Design Planning
Before construction begins, we create detailed 3D renderings to show exactly how your new outdoor kitchen will fit within your patio cover. These renderings help both the patio cover company and you visualize the final layout, ensuring every detail is meticulously planned.
Our 3D designs spark creative ideas and guarantee a flawless “integrated patio kitchen” that exceeds your expectations.
Creative Design Ideas & Inspiring Examples
Our modular approach opens up endless design possibilities. Here are some fun and creative ideas to enhance your outdoor kitchen:
- Integrated Seating: Add built-in benches or wrap-around seating to create a cozy area for dining and socializing.
- Curved Island Segments: Use curved pieces to create a dynamic, flowing design that’s both functional and stylish.
- Ambient LED Lighting: Install LED strips under countertops and along island edges to create a captivating glow at night.
- Mixed Material Finishes: Combine natural stone, sleek concrete, and reclaimed wood for a modern, high-end aesthetic.
- Multi-Functional Zones: Design separate areas for cooking, serving, and relaxing—all integrated within your patio cover.
