What you need to know before hiring someone to build a BBQ island
|
concrete block is a perfect material for BBQ island construction. It is very sturdy, fire proof,
and not as difficult to work with as you might think This BBQ island was constructed without the use of mortar. The blocks are glued together with construction adhesive. Then the blocks were filled ( or grouted ) with concrete and steel rebar to give it its strength
You can use brick to build your BBQ island,
although working with brick is a bit more difficult. |
Faux stone concrete BBQ islands
The BBQ islands have a 6" steel reinforced concrete footing with rebar stubbed up every 12".
The rebar was bent into shape then welded wire was attached and hand plastered with concrete.
Then it was coated with specialty mortar, stamped, hand carved and color stained. |
