Alfresco Kitchen Design

What to have in your Alfresco Kitchen
Your new alfresco kitchen for your Melbourne home can be as simple as having an inbuilt barbeque on your deck.
However, it can also be more sophisticated. Think sinks, ovens, range hoods, cabinets, fridges, microwaves or even a pizza oven. Whatever you need to cook or entertain we will build it!
All the equipment of your new alfresco kitchen will be weatherproof. This means it is built to withstand all the elements that Melbourne weather can throw at them.
When thinking about the design of your alfresco kitchen, one of the major decisions is whether to have it attached to your house. If you have a backyard on the larger size, you can consider having a pergola to ‘house’ your alfresco kitchen. You just need to decide what suits your lifestyle best!

Building an Alfresco Kitchen in Melbourne – FAQs
Do alfresco kitchens need to be undercover?
Yes, most alfresco kitchens in Melbourne are designed to be undercover. A roof or pergola protects your alfresco kitchen from rain, wind, and harmful UV rays. This helps to extend the life of appliances and finishes.
In addition, covered spaces are also more functional and comfortable year round. If you want to use your outdoor kitchen regardless of the weather, we recommend including a roof as part of your design, as well as at least one enclosed side.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning will keep your alfresco kitchen looking great and working properly. Wipe down benchtops and cabinetry with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Clean grills while they’re still warm, and check appliance manuals for recommended maintenance. Over time, parts like hinges and runners may require replacement, but a quality alfresco kitchen should stand up well with proper care and enhance the value of your Melbourne home.
What materials are best for alfresco kitchens in Melbourne?
Durability and weather resistance are key. Many quality kitchens use Laminex doors for their UV and heat resistance, and V-Lite PVC panels for their water resistance. Alternatively,good quality timber is used. Natural stone is a popular choice for benchtops thanks to its heat-resistant, non-combustible properties. For long term use, choose materials specifically designed for outdoor environments.
What gas, plumbing, and electrical connections do I need?
You’ll need to decide between natural gas (a fixed utility) and LPG gas bottles for your BBQ. If you plan to include a sink or fridge, plumbing and drainage will be required. Also consider the number of power outlets needed for lighting, fridges, or rangehoods.
Do I need a rangehood in my alfresco kitchen?
A rangehood is recommended if your alfresco area is semi-enclosed. It helps remove smoke, heat, and grease. Always choose a unit with proper grease filters for safe and clean operation. It also needs to be a rangehood that is for outdoor use.
What’s the difference between alfresco kitchens and indoor kitchens?
The main differences lie in the materials used and the appliances fitted. Alfresci kitchens must withstand harsher weather conditions so they require durable weatherproof materials designed specifically for outdoor use.
BBQs in outdoor kitchens generate significantly more heat, up to five times that of an indoor cooktop, and produce more smoke and grease. This makes proper ventilation, heat shielding and safe clearance from combustible surfaces crucial to ensure safety and functionality.
At All Decked Out we select outdoor rated materials that combine durability with style, ensuring your alfresco kitchen not only looks great but stands up to Melbourne’s climate.
Do I need planning permission or a building permit for my alfresco kitchen in Melbourne?
You may need a building permit for permanent structures like pergolas or when installing gas and plumbing services. It’s best to check with your local Melbourne council. At All Decked Out, we help guide you through the permit process and ensure your alfresco kitchen meets all building regulations and codes.
