What we build
A Hansen Crafted Outdoors kitchen is a real kitchen, planned and built to the same standard as the one inside your home. We design and construct custom outdoor kitchens for Florida homeowners who want to grill, entertain, and gather outside without walking back and forth to the house every ten minutes.
Layouts range from compact grill islands to full outdoor kitchen and dining pavilions with ventilation, refrigeration, prep zones, and bar seating. Every kitchen is designed around your appliances, your menu, and the flow of your backyard.
Who an outdoor kitchen is for
If you host, grill, or eat outside more than a handful of times a year, an outdoor kitchen usually pays for itself in the experience alone. It's especially valuable for Florida families who spend the majority of the year outdoors, turning the backyard into the primary entertaining space instead of a secondary one.
Design considerations for Florida homes
Florida outdoor kitchens have to survive salt air, humidity, storm-driven rain, and relentless sun. We specify marine-grade cabinetry, sealed stone or porcelain surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and covered layouts wherever possible.
We also plan for ventilation, drainage, and lighting from day one, small details that quietly make a kitchen usable at 8pm on a summer Saturday rather than only at brunch on a cool morning.
How it pairs with the rest of your outdoor space
Most of our outdoor kitchens live under a pergola, cabana, or screened lanai, the shade and protection dramatically extend how often the kitchen actually gets used. Because HCO builds pergolas, screening, and full backyard renovations, we can plan the kitchen and the space around it as one project.
Where we build outdoor kitchens
We design outdoor kitchens across Saint Petersburg, Tampa, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding Tampa Bay and Gulf Coast communities.
