In summer, when the warm temperatures tempt us into the fresh air and we prefer to spend the whole day in the garden or on the terrace, it is also the season for barbecue fans. It's just a shame that the preparations for the outdoor BBQ have to take place indoors. How about combining the two - and doing it outdoors?
An outdoor kitchen made of pallets can be built yourself with a little skill and the right tools - such as the WAGNER W 590 FLEXiO paint spray system. Sari and Christian from the blog "Saris Garage" demonstrate it step by step and the result is impressive.

Start by roughly cutting all four pallets to the width of an EPAL block using a saw.

Don't forget to take the height of the wheels into account.

The supporting frame for the worktop is made from squared timbers: To do this, the four beams are cut to the internal dimensions of the outdoor kitchen and attached to the underside of the structure with plenty of screws. Then fasten the upper construction beam with angle supports so that the load of the worktop and all the equipment are properly supported.

The tongue and groove boards are now used to construct the worktop. It is said First measure, then cut to size and finally screw everything to the support frame. Of course, it is also possible to buy an appropriately sized wooden board from a DIY store.

Now follow the frame-forming beams and the floor: The three beams are cut at a 45 degree angle and attached to the pallets all around with screws. Tongue and groove boards can be used again for the floor. They are also measured, cut to size and attached to the lower frame with screws.

For the doors, lay the tongue and groove boards vertically next to each other and fix them with auxiliary boards so that they do not shift. Then fit a horizontal board to the other boards at the top and bottom with a little distance to the respective edge and fix it with one screw per board. Then do the same again for the second door. When everything is screwed together, the doors are shortened to the right length with the circular saw.

Now comes the icing on the cake for every door - the cross board. Use screw clamps to fix it to the horizontal boards, then mark the angle cuts on the wood and then use a jigsaw to cut the boards and screw them to the doors.

Triangular strips are fitted between the frame-forming beams and the worktop to ensure a neat finish. Before fixing them to the panel with the screws, it is advisable to pre-drill the battens. When everything is screwed on, the ends can be shortened to fit exactly with a jigsaw. With a finishing strip at the front, the cut edges become invisible.
