Level Up Your Outdoor Entertaining With A Closable Grill Shed

If you enjoy hosting outdoor barbecues regularly during the summer months, you want to take good care of your grill. While there are benefits to building a DIY portable grilling station for backyard entertainment, it can also be helpful to build a permanent grilling station. A closing grill shed is a small, enclosed grilling station that will allow you to completely cover your grill and keep it out of sight when not in use. You can open and close the doors as needed and always keep your grill ready for entertaining purposes. A well-constructed grilling station will not only host your grill but also include various shelves for storing accessories and other features for your grilling convenience. 

One of the key benefits of a closable grilling station is it will protect your grill from the elements. If there's a lot of rain or humidity where you live, your grill won't be exposed to it when not in use. In addition, the consolidation of grilling equipment and storage space can be very helpful. Just like this handy hack for keeping barbecue tools and utensils organized, closable grill stations make it easy to store items such as spices, condiments, and grilling utensils.

If built well, a grill shed can also look quite stylish and become a key feature of your backyard space. While there are a variety of outdoor grill protection solutions available, such as grill gazebos, basic sheds, and canopies, a closable storage shed built specifically for your grill can be even more convenient. It provides a great combination of both protection and easy access.

While sheds, grill cabinets, and grill gazebos are readily available from home improvement stores and various retailers, it's a bit more difficult to find a dedicated, closable grilling station of this kind for purchase. While you may be able to spot one for purchase on Facebook Marketplace or a classified ad from time to time, the chances are low. If you want to have the perfect closable grilling shed for your needs, you'll likely need to build it yourself. 

With some moderate woodworking and building skills, it's a very doable DIY project. However, you may also want to consider hiring a local contractor to help build a custom grill shed that suits your needs. Keep in mind that the cost of your grill shed can vary greatly depending on the materials you use, your exact plans, and whether you get extra help with the build.

You can find and buy plans for outdoor sheds in various places online, including Etsy, or you can plan your own design. Every homeowner has different needs when it comes to outdoor grilling. You'll want to consider various outdoor grill station ideas during the planning stage so you can make one that's perfect for the needs of you and your family. Adding a fridge, a sink, and other features in addition to the grill and utensils are just a few of the ways you can make your grill station more convenient.
