Create a Barbecue Area
When I got my new stainless barbecue grill, I decided one afternoon to add a small section to my deck expecially for my grill.
About $80 and 3 hours later, I had a new 6′ x 6′ section where I could do all my grilling. I walk out my sliding glass door, turn left, and walk about 10 steps to the grill. That makes it easy to barbecue right through the winter and, if you are a real man grilling, putting the grill away for the winter moves you into the wimp arena.
When we have guests over for a barbecue, I can easily grill and talk to everyone, yet I am to the side and plenty of people can sit on the deck and not interfere with my grilling, nor I interfere with seating.
I love it. It won’t cost you a whole lot of money or time and it is a huge improvement to the deck area. I plan to build some storage for my tools in the future.
