Essential Design Elements of an Outdoor Kitchen

1. Grill Station (The Heart of the Kitchen)

A high-quality built-in grill is the centerpiece. Choose from gas, charcoal, or hybrid models, often with added features like rotisseries or side burners.

2. Countertops

Durable and weather-resistant surfaces like granite, concrete, or stone offer space for prep, serving, and entertaining.

3. Storage Cabinets

Built-in, weatherproof cabinetry made from stainless steel or composite materials keeps cooking tools and supplies safe and organized.

4. Sink & Faucet

Adding a sink increases convenience for food prep and clean-up. Include a faucet with a pull-down sprayer for added functionality.

5. Refrigerator or Beverage Center

A compact outdoor-rated fridge or cooler drawer makes it easy to store drinks, sides, and ingredients without running back inside.

6. Bar Seating & Dining Area

Incorporate a raised counter or nearby seating area for guests to gather and dine, creating a social cooking space.

7. Lighting

LED task lighting, under-counter lights, and ambient string or sconce lighting improve functionality and atmosphere after dark.

8. Overhead Structure (Pergola or Roof)

A pergola, awning, or pavilion provides shade and shelter, protecting your kitchen from the elements while adding style.

9. Flooring

Paver patios, stamped concrete, or natural stone create a safe, durable, and stylish base for your kitchen.

10. Fire Features or Heating

Consider integrating a fire pit, fireplace, or mounted heaters for warmth and ambiance on cool evenings.

Each outdoor kitchen should be tailored to your space, cooking style, and entertainment needs. At RWPS, we bring all these elements together for stunning, functional outdoor kitchens built to last.

About Arnold

Arnold, MO, the largest city in Jefferson County, sits just south of St. Louis along the scenic Meramec River. This well-connected suburb offers a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with all the conveniences of nearby urban life. Founded in the early 1800s, Arnold grew from a small farming community into a dynamic residential hub during the 20th century. Its growth accelerated in the postwar era, but the city has managed to preserve its local charm while expanding its infrastructure and services. Today, it supports a population of over 20,000 and is known for safe neighborhoods, active civic engagement, and a strong focus on outdoor living. One of Arnold’s main attractions is Arnold City Park, a 68-acre green space offering fishing lakes, trails, sports fields, and picnic areas. The nearby Arnold Recreation Center provides year-round access to a gym, pool, and fitness classes. Residents and visitors alike enjoy river activities such as kayaking and fishing along the Meramec, while the annual Arnold Days Festival draws crowds with food, live music, and community celebrations. Arnold is served by the Fox C-6 School District, one of the largest in Jefferson County, which enhances its appeal for young families. Retail and dining options are plentiful along Jeffco Boulevard, where national chains mix with local favorites like Fritz’s Frozen Custard—a local institution. Despite its suburban profile, Arnold maintains a small-town sense of community. Its ongoing development, community events, and abundant green space make it an attractive and balanced place to live in eastern Missouri.
