I have an patio like the one on the example (not actual photo) of which I want to rebuild the glazed area into an outdoor kitchen for all-year round usage. The "only" requirements are :

  • work area
  • placement of a charcoal grill ( likely to be replaced by a kamado style one)
  • a place for my ooni (wood heated).
  • open in summer
  • shelter from rain/snow (it's Sweden we talk about)
  • some shelter from wind

I thought about building something against the sliding doors so you can stand outside in summer and inside when the weather is bad. But also of making something on wheels.

Internet searches gives many photo's but not much on the last two wishes. Anyone built something for all-year usage in the northern areas? Photo's will be much appreciated!

If there are walls (even glass ones), and a roof then it's not "outdoors".

True, but in my defend, most are sliding panels 😜 , so half-outdoor-ish. Looking fo a kind of "best of both worlds" approach. Just want an outdoor kitchen I can use year around, not limited by the weather (cold doesn't count, just the possibility of a bit of rain and snow protection (and maybe a bit of wind which is good during long smoker sessions)

I can’t speak directly to your location, but you may consider flying inspects in your design, either via screens, fans, inspect repellent or otherwise. The grills and ovens are generally fine, but the work area could attract insects while you cook.

I love this idea. Thank you for sharing and please post again as things progress. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Cheers!
