Storage solutions

The key to a successful outdoor kitchen is sufficient storage to stash everything where you need it. No need to run back and forth to the house every five minutes to grab the tongs or matches. Ideally you should opt for weatherproof (leakand frost-resist) storage for crockery and glassware, as well as cooking utensils and coal. Comfort is also essential to enjoyable outdoor living. ‘While textiles suitable for outdoor use should be capable of surviving the odd shower, it’s wise to include somewhere to store seat cushions overnight,’ adds Peter Humphrey, Design Director and Founder of Humphrey Munson. Many garden furniture ranges include storage under the seats. An airtight container inside one of your outdoor kitchen cupboards will work, too.
