Steel Framing - Outdoor Kitchen?

Answer this question

+8

Answered

I've surfed the net and can't seem to find a detail step by step plan to frame a outdoor kitchen/grilling station. Eventually, the top coat will be stucco, however, what I need are instructions for the framing with steel studs. Is the distance between the same as wood construction or different, etc.,? A plan will be tremendous as I would know how many pieces of steel studs to purchase.

Thanks

I believe that the studs can still go 16 inches on center. As far a plan goes, it really depends on how big and what exactly you have in mind. Do you want a roof or some kind of cover or just the counter and grilling area.

  Thank you. They do spend all of their time out there! It is so nice. She's living my dream too. Unfortunately she's about 3 hours away, so we don't get there as much as I would like. But we get there whenever we can. Thank you.

hello Mark, do you recommend 2 1/2" 25 gauge Stud or the 3 5/8 20 gauge stud to frame my outdoor kitchen, putting granite counter tops.
