Custom Construction from the Frame Up
Like most of our projects, we built this outdoor kitchen on site. We started with a powder-coated aluminum frame, then wrapped it with Hardie backer board.

Once the frame is complete, we finish the cabinet exterior with stacked stone or stucco. This project features stacked stone.

Arctic White Stacked Stone Finish
We finished the cabinet facade and stone backsplash with Arctic White stacked stone in a multi-finish. A separate custom stainless steel backsplash sits directly behind the grill.
For your own summer kitchen, you can choose from a variety of included stacked stone options. Browse the selections below for ideas.
Additional stone options are available by special order, giving you more ways to personalize the finished design.
Tesoro Bianco Granite Countertops
Level 6 Tesoro Bianco granite completes this outdoor kitchen. At the customer’s request, we used the portion of the slab with veining, highlighting the stone’s natural pattern.
The photos below offer a closer look at the granite and its details.
