How Do The Panels Arrive And How Heavy Are They?

  • The modules arrive securely on a pallet fully wrapped to prevent damage in shipment.
  • Due to the size of the panels, all outdoor kitchen modules ship via Freight and include a liftgate at delivery to offload the pallet(s).
  • Your appliances will arrive on a separate pallet in their own packaging to avoid damage in shipment.
  • All shipments are insured against damage.
  • Each panel is banded to the center support of the pallet to make it easy to remove one at a time.
  • Our panelized system makes carrying your outdoor kitchen to your back yard or deck a breeze.
  • Most panels weigh between 35 to 50 lbs, but can exceed this depending on the options chosen. It's always easier to have 2 people when lifting the panels and moving them into back yard and a hand cart is a great help as well.
  • When unloading the panels, simply read the green stickers on the tops of the panels to layout the panels by module.

How Do I Level My Outdoor Kitchen?

  • Once your outdoor kitchen is fully assembled, using a level, adjust the attached leveling feet to ahieve the desired level.

What Kind Of Finish Can I Use?

  • Our ready to finish modules are designed to be compatible with most common finishes.
  • For sides, this includes real stone (even 4" thick and thicker), faux stone, stucco, tile, hardi-board, aluminum siding, thick and thin brick, etc.
  • For countertops, our ready to finish outdoor kitchens are prepped for solid slab countertops such as granite, marble, quartzite, blueston, pre-cast concrete, etc. These do not require cement board tops, so our standard setup does not include cement board tops.
  • With the optional cement board tops (used to hold the wet cement or mortar) you can use poured concrete and tile countertops.

Do You Offer Finish Materials?

  • Yes, we do.
  • For side finishes, we offer several real stone colors and premium aluminum colors.
  • For countertops, we offer luxury granite slab countertops.
  • Our ourdoor kitchens are designed to allow for the side and countertop finishes to be applied to the sides and countertop, and then be dis-assembled for shipment. Assembly is completed in the same manner as with ready to finish options, with bolts.

What If I Have A Problem With Something Not Fitting Or Being Damaged When I Receive It?

  • For Damage:
  • We take considerable time and cost to ensure your outdoor kitchen is well packaged and protected for shipment.
  • We also screen our freight partners to ensure we are using only carriers with very low damage records (no carrier has a zero damage record). This costs a little more, but, it is worth it.
  • We insure every shipment against damage to ensure there is never a problem replacing a damaged or lost component.
  • Just follow the instructions shown either on your shipment tracking and pre-delivery checklist, our shipping policy, or the yellow placards attached to the pallets.
  • Once notifed of damage, we will work to get the item replaced for you as soon as possible and we will file the freight claim.
  • For defects or errors:
  • Once notified of a defect or error, we will reach out you to quickly resolve the issues. Typically the issues have to do with intentional gaps installed, which are required for various reasons such as combution air requirements for grills as required by the manufacturer.
  • In the rare event something does not fit or has a manufacturing / material defect, and is a result of an error on the side of Big Ridge, we will replace the affected component with a new one promptly.
  • If the error is the result of information supplied by the you, we will work with you to find a solution, though additional charges may apply. To minimize this possiblity, it's best to purchase your grills and other items from us as we have all manufacturers specifications, otherwise you would be responsible for providing them to us.

Is It Difficult To Finish My Own Outdoor Kitchen?

  • It doesn't have to be. Building an outdoor kitchen from scratch takes quite a lot of planning and knowledge of construction to avoid common mistakes and avoid potential injury.
  • That's why we exist. We are somewhere between DIY and Done For You.
  • We have made the process of building and finishing your outdoor kitchen easy and fun.
  • Since we make all the openings for you, there is nothing left to do but assemble and apply the finish.
  • The most common finishes on DIY outdoor kitchens is stone and granite slabs. Of course, there are many other ways to finish them.
  • Stone is suprisingly easier these days with panelized stone that can be put on in sheets and covers a large area at a time. These look great and last a long time, you can't go wrong with real stone!
  • Most customers have the granite slabs cut and installed by a local supplier.
  • Doing porcelain or granite tile is another very doable finish for a DIYer.
  • Overall, our clients have done exceptional jobs with their outdoor kitchens, check out their handy work here https://bigridgeoutdoorkitchens.com/inspiration/
  • You can do this!

Will I Really Save Money Doing It Myself?

  • The answer is simple, Yes.
  • Like most construction projects, a large majority of the cost is labor.
  • Since this is all we do, and we have equipment set up to do it faster and in a controlled environment, we can do it with much less labor and no weather delays, and pass that savings along to you.
  • For the die hard DIYer, that does everything except for the framing, you can up to 60% or more over site built construction.
  • For the majority that do most of the work but still have others do the granite or electrical, the savings are more in the ball park of 25% to 40% off site built construction.
  • In fact, that's the reason we work with so many contractors. They can do more jobs with less people and maximize profits.

What If I Have Questions While I Am Building My Outdoor Kitchen?

  • Well, you're in luck! We have real people at the other end of the line, just call us at 866-635-5487, and we will walk you through any issues you are having.
  • Since many DIYers do these projects on weekends, we are typically staffed to answer calls on weekends to ensure you have support when needed. Typical weekend hours are from 10:00am to 6:00pm eastern. However, we are off most holidays, our employees are really important to us and need them rested to assist you when there in the office!
  • WITH BIG RIDGE, YOU WON'T DIY ALONE!

Do You Include Cement Board On The Tops?

  • Our modules come standard without cement board tops.
  • For countertops, our ready to finish outdoor kitchens are prepped for solid slab countertops such as granite, marble, quartzite, blueston, pre-cast concrete, etc. These do not require cement board tops, so our standard setup does not include cement board tops.
  • You can add the optional cement board tops if you are using poured in place concrete or putting tile countertops on. These would be used to hold the wet cement or mortar bed for the tile.
  • Most granite installers won't install over cement board, so rather than include something that is most likely going to be removed and discarded, we opted to save our clients money and make it an option for the few who needed it.
