Bbq Design Ideas APK

Every backyard grilling maestro has the dream of building his/her own backyard grill. This may be a simple brick charcoal model or a full blown outdoor kitchen. Either way building your backyard grill consists of two phases, the design phase and the construction phase. Both phases are important, but the design phase sets the stage for the whole project. This phase consists of three parts.

Choose a Design: There are three basic backyard BBQ grill designs: Bar, L, and U. The bar design is a rectangle usually 8-10 ft long and 3 ft deep. This model is perfect for a medium sized grill insert with sufficient counter cupboard space. The L design contains a perpendicular extension off of the bar and looks like an L from the air. This model gives more counter space and has the capacity for a larger grill insert. The U design adds another perpendicular bar off of the main unit. This is the ultimate BBQ design. It has maximum counter and cupboard space, and can be decked out with outdoor appliances such as a sink and refrigerator.
Draw a Scale Model: This is the necessary step to flush out all of the details about your built in BBQ. You can either draw your model on paper or using a computer. Both ways work well, and the choice depends on your preference. An easy way to draw the model is to use SketchUp, a free 3-D modeling CAD software. It is easy to use and helps to visualize your grill from all angles.
Mark the Construction Area: The final design phase is to mark out the perimeter of your grill in the location that you will build it. Many times it is during this phase that you will decide to make the grill larger or smaller; sometimes you will even change the basic design because of space constraints. Though this may be the simplest step it is the most important before construction. There is nothing worse than laying a foundation only to find that the plans will not work as drawn.
