Affordable Outdoor Kitchens: The Smart Choice for Your Backyard

Outdoor Kitchen | DekTex | Madison, WI

Are you dreaming of an outdoor kitchen but feeling overwhelmed by the cost and complexity of traditional builds? The reality is that building an outdoor kitchen from scratch can easily cost $20,000 or more, especially when factoring in materials, labor, and the custom work involved. From fire-resistant framing and masonry to premium finishes like granite countertops, these expenses can quickly add up.

But what if we told you there’s an easier, more affordable way to build a high-quality outdoor kitchen—one that can be built in just one day? At DEKTEX, we’ve partnered with RTA Outdoor Kitchens to offer a solution that’s not only cost-effective, but also quick to install and fully customizable to meet your needs.

Let’s break down why traditional outdoor kitchen builds can be so expensive and how RTA Outdoor Kitchens is changing the game with a smarter solution.

Traditional Style Outdoor Kitchen Build: What’s Included?

When building an outdoor kitchen from scratch, you face several costs and challenges:

1. Outdoor Kitchen Materials:

  • Fire-Resistant Framing: Outdoor kitchens must be built with materials that can withstand heat and the elements. Fire-resistant framing and finishes add to the cost but are necessary for safety.
  • Masonry or Fire-Resistant Finishes: Many outdoor kitchens use masonry or other fire-resistant materials for durability, but these materials require a lot of labor to install, making them a pricey option.
  • Granite Countertops: High-end finishes like granite countertops can set you back thousands of dollars just for the materials.

2. Outdoor Kitchen Appliances:

Outdoor kitchens often feature multiple appliances, including built-in grills, refrigerators, pizza ovens, sinks, and dishwashers. Each appliance adds to the cost and requires custom fitting, which can get expensive. Plus, there are often hidden costs when selecting high-end appliances or custom features.

3. Labor and Time:

Once you’ve selected your materials and appliances, the next step is installation—where the true costs pile up:

  • Custom Fitting: Fitting appliances into custom-built cabinets takes time, and skilled labor is required for precise measurements and adjustments, which increases labor costs.
  • Mess & Time: Construction projects like these are messy—there’s debris, dust, and multiple workers on-site for weeks. All of this can result in unexpected delays and added costs.

4. Additional Outdoor Kitchen Cost:

Permits, inspections, landscaping, and patio work can also add to your final bill, pushing the total cost of a custom outdoor kitchen into the $20,000+ range.
