Why Risk it?

Not all outdoor kitchens are created equal. There are strict building regulation guidelines when installing outdoor kitchens. The materials selected for an outdoor kitchen must be able to withstand very high temperatures as well as a variety of weather conditions.

Unlike other outdoor kitchens, Fresco Frames have been independently tested by a NATA approved laboratory offering peace of mind that our frames and structure complies with strict Australian Gas Guidelines.

There are many outdoor kitchen manufacturers who use PVC or similar materials as their structural cabinets due to their waterproof advantages. Although PVC has many exterior benefits, it is a very soft material that may shift under load and under constant heat causing issues with cabinetry expanding, bench tops, moving and let’s not forget fire! So why risk it?
