Essential Tips for Outdoor Kitchens on Terraces
If you’re planning to install an outdoor kitchen on your terrace, you’ll want to do your homework beforehand. You’ll need to consider the choice of appliances, materials and configurations for your outdoor kitchen. Following these guidelines, you will be able to design the outdoor kitchen of your dreams with Fesfoc.
Can an outdoor kitchen be installed on a rooftop terrace?
There are many different types of terraces that can be found in a house, such as those placed directly on the ground in a garden or in a rooftop / penthouse. Not all of them allow for the same type of outdoor kitchen.
As a general rule, a penthouse terrace is designed to support around 250 kg per square meter. This means that concrete barbecues made on site cannot be installed, as they are too heavy and risk causing structural damage to the building. In this case, it is necessary to opt for outdoor kitchens made from lighter, highly weather-resistant materials, such as Fesfoc kitchens, whose structure and furniture are made from top-quality stainless steel.
A terrace in your garden can support the weight of an outdoor kitchen better than a penthouse terrace, but you’ll need a foundation sized for the weight the garden soil will have to carry.
If you’re planning to install an outdoor kitchen unit with reinforced concrete or firebrick, you’ll need a good foundation, designed by an architect or engineer, to prevent differential settlement of the soil, which could cause the barbecue to break.
What must be considered to install an outdoor kitchen on a terrace?
When planning your outdoor kitchen, there are many things to consider. One of the key questions is where you’re going to install the outdoor kitchen. Many people choose to install it on a patio, but what if the best space you have is a terrace?
Decks are a common place for dining and gathering as part of a home’s outdoor living space, and outdoor kitchens on decks are becoming a trendy addition to outdoor living spaces. Adding an outdoor kitchen to a terrace design requires careful planning, as outdoor space can be limited but enhanced by this outdoor kitchen comfortness.
Whether it’s an elevated deck, a multi-level deck or a platform, installing your outdoor kitchen on such a structure has benefits for your backyard or patio.

In the case of the barbecue area, depending on the equipment you want for your outdoor kitchen, you need to plan the installations you’ll need to carry out before the kitchen arrival.
Facilities to Consider
For example, if you want to include a sink, it’s important to take into account your water intakes and drainage installations.
If you want a refrigerator, an ice-maker, a freezer, electric barbecues, etc., you’ll need to provide an electrical outlet, and this will need to be sized to serve the required appliances.
How to install a gas bbq?
If you opt for a gas barbecue, gas burners, wok or pizza oven, you’ll need to work with us to determine whether you need to use bottled butane or propane gas, or whether to connect to a natural gas line.
At Fesfoc, we have an efficient team of engineers who will draw up all the installation plans, in order to indicate all the necessary arrangements that will need to be made before the outdoor kitchen is installed.
What appliances can be used in an outdoor kitchen on terrace?
Once you’ve decided on the most functional layout for you, you need to decide which appliances you want to include. Your outdoor kitchen should include at least a grill or other cooking appliance if your objective is to cook outdoors without limitations.
