Make Your Own DIY Grill Gazebo

With the help of a buddy, you can build this DIY grill gazebo in a weekend. All the building materials are available at home centers.

We built our gazebo from Western red cedar because it resists rot and insects and looks great. You could save about $400 by building it with pressure-treated wood. The cedar will require some upkeep over the years, but the metal roof is maintenance free.

This beefy DIY grill gazebo project is built to last a lifetime … a lifetime of grilling bliss.

Safety

Since this is a wooden structure, keep a few safety tips in mind.

First, be sure you never push your grill up against railings, branches or other flammable items. You don’t want poor grill placement to be the reason you’re calling the fire department this summer.

Second, invest in a deck mat. This way you’ll have a barrier to catch anything hot that falls or splatters. This is a good idea no matter what kind of outdoor kitchen you have.

Third, always practice basic fire safety. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Make sure it’s up to date and you know how to use it. Never leave your lit grill unattended, and don’t let children or pets run around near it, especially unsupervised.
