A few layouts in context.
Five photographs of Pinecraft outdoor kitchen projects show layouts from a compact run with a sink to a blue L-shaped kitchen with a hood and oven. They are visual examples, not plans; equipment choice and site suitability depend on the product instructions and project conditions.

How it starts
From the first measurement to your finished layout.
There is no charge for the in-home measurement or the design consultation. Tony Hicks, our owner, creates renderings for clients at no charge. We discuss what you want to cook, how you entertain and the equipment you are considering. We help you plan the cabinet layout and select counters and appliances around your space and cooking needs.
The installers work from the agreed plan and appliance list. Aluminum frames and Hardie board exteriors are standard on every Pinecraft outdoor kitchen island.
| Measurement | In-home measurement at no charge |
|---|---|
| Planning | Design consultation at no charge; discuss the layout and equipment choices |
| Frame | Aluminum, standard |
| Exterior | Hardie board standard; Dryvit, stucco, tile, or stone available |
Everything around the cook.
Side burners, griddles, and warming drawers for a full cooking line. An outdoor bar for drinks and condiments, and a smoothie or drink station if entertaining is the point. Sinks, refrigerators, and coolers so nobody has to run back inside. Add-ons like trash receptacles, cooler drawers, charcoal trays, griddle plates, and ice makers finish the layout once the core equipment is locked in.
Composite cabinetry is available in woodgrain or solid-color finishes for pool decks, wet bars, and anywhere splashback or standing water is a concern.

Plan your first conversation
Tell us about the space you want to cook in.
You do not need a finished design to start. Call 941-217-6995 to discuss an in-home measurement at no charge. These details help us understand your project.
Your space and priorities
- Your community and whether the kitchen will be on a patio, under a lanai or beside a pool.
- What you enjoy cooking and which appliances matter most to you.
- Any existing grill or cabinetry you want to discuss keeping.
- Your budget priorities and the timing you have in mind.
Questions to work through
- Which layout leaves enough useful preparation and storage space?
- Which cabinet and countertop finishes suit the setting?
- What equipment and installation work will the proposal include?
- Which site, utility or community requirements need the licensed contractor's review?
We take the measurements during the home visit. If you already have photos or plans, mention them when you call. See ways to contact the showroom.
How do we plan the layout?
We discuss your space, cooking habits and equipment choices during the design process. If you have measurements or photos, bring them so we can talk through cabinet placement, counters and appliances.
Can I plan a kitchen under my lanai?
Bring the lanai into the first design conversation. The selected appliance instructions and a licensed contractor's assessment determine what is suitable for that space. Our lanai and screen enclosure guide explains the questions to raise before settling the layout.
Cost and responsibility
Know what your kitchen proposal covers.
Compare the complete scope, from the equipment you choose to the work at your home. Ask for these items to be identified before you order.
Equipment and kitchen components
Identify the appliance models, cabinets, counters and finishes. Check whether accessories, delivery and taxes are included. A grill island and a kitchen with a sink and refrigeration need different equipment lists.
Installation and site work
Confirm what installation includes and whether removal of an existing island, utility connections or other site work are separate. Identify the business responsible for each part of the work.
Manufacturer warranty support
Pinecraft helps with manufacturer warranty support. Review the coverage for each product, and ask separately who to contact about installation or workmanship questions.
Your priorities and timing
Tell us which features matter most and the timing you have in mind. Confirm equipment availability, installation milestones and how a change to the agreed scope would be handled.
Send us your project details to start the conversation.
Does Pinecraft install the kitchen?
We design your outdoor kitchen, supply the equipment and provide the installers. Gas, electrical and plumbing work is performed by appropriately licensed contractors. Confirm the installation scope and the business named on each agreement before ordering. Discuss site and utility work with the appropriate contractor.
What materials can I choose?
Aluminum frames and Hardie board exteriors are standard on Pinecraft outdoor kitchen islands. Dryvit, stucco, tile and stone finishes are available, along with composite cabinetry in woodgrain or solid colors. Review the salt air and humidity guide when comparing materials for a coastal setting.
What determines the cost?
The layout, cabinet and countertop choices, appliances and installation scope all affect the project. A grill island and a kitchen with refrigeration, a sink and additional cooking appliances need different equipment lists. Ask for an itemized proposal that distinguishes the equipment and kitchen components from installation and any site or utility work.
How long will the project take?
Discuss timing when you call. Your schedule needs to account for the final design, equipment availability and the installing contractor's work. Confirm the expected milestones for your particular project before ordering.
