Do outdoor kitchen water and gas lines need winterizing in Kansas?
Yes. Any water line run to an outdoor kitchen needs a proper shutoff and drain-down plan before the first hard freeze, and gas lines need to be installed to code with winter conditions in mind. We plan this into the build rather than leaving it as an afterthought.
Does an outdoor kitchen need a covered structure?
It's not required, but a pergola, pavilion, or roof extension protects appliances and finish materials from hail, ice, and heavy rain, which extends the life of the whole project. Most of the outdoor kitchens we connect homeowners with include some form of cover.
