Outdoor Kitchens Made for Aussie Backyards

Charcoal in the air, cold drink in hand, and no need to run back inside to check the oven — outdoor kitchens make entertaining easier and weekends a bit more relaxed. At Zero 21 Fit-Outs & Joinery, based in Molendinar, we build custom outdoor kitchens across the Gold Coast, designed for the way locals live, cook and gather.


From built-in BBQs and fridges to weather-resistant storage and durable benchtops, we design outdoor setups that last without looking like second-rate versions of your indoor kitchen. Every element is made in-house, so you get a clean fit and complete design control from day one. Want it to match your indoor kitchen style? Need cabinetry that can take a few summer storms? We’ve got you sorted. Reach out to us on 0481 850 019 to start planning yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What materials are best for outdoor kitchens?

    Outdoor kitchens need materials that can handle sun, rain and heat. Marine-grade plywood, stainless steel, weatherproof laminates and sealed stone benchtops are top choices.


    Avoid chipboard or untreated timber, as they’ll warp or degrade quickly in exposed areas. Every element needs to hold up under changing conditions.

  • Can I install an outdoor kitchen under a pergola or awning?

    Yes, covered areas are ideal. Shade helps protect appliances and surfaces from direct sun and rain, extending the life of your kitchen.


    Just ensure there’s proper ventilation, especially if you’re using gas appliances. Your design should take the roof height and airflow into account from the start.

  • How do I maintain an outdoor kitchen over time?

    Regular cleaning is key. Wipe down surfaces after use, cover appliances when not in use, and check for rust or wear, especially near the coast.


    Sealed stone benchtops and stainless steel are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional resealing or oiling. Good drainage and ventilation also help reduce mould and mildew.

Outdoor Kitchens That Handle More Than BBQs

A decent BBQ will only take you so far. What makes an outdoor kitchen truly useful is how well it’s set up. Space for prep, clever storage, easy-to-clean surfaces and room for the extras: pizza ovens, smokers, beer fridges, sinks.


We build outdoor kitchens using high-grade materials suited to the coast, with joinery and cabinet making that’s as sharp as anything you’d expect indoors. Many clients choose to echo their interior look for continuity, or go bold with dark stone, cladding or polished concrete. Either way, our in-house design team will help balance looks with long-term performance.
