INSTRUCTIONS:
I made this outdoor kitchen island with DIY concrete countertops and a steel + wood base for Chef Amanda Haas and her fleet of Traeger Grills. I used Quikrete Countertop mix to make the concrete countertops and I sealed them with Varathane paste wax. I used Cumaru deck boards for the shelves and an assortment of steel tubes and angle sections painted with Rust-Oleum protective enamel in Gloss White for the structure. I really like how fresh and modern the DIY concrete countertops look in combination with the Cumaru deck boards and the painted steel.
This project was sponsored by Traeger Grills; click to learn more about this really cool cooking tech! I'm using the Traeger Ironwood 650 Pellet Grill and I love it!
