At Cookin' Outdoors Tampa, we believe an outdoor living space should feel like a true livable extension of your home. This custom outdoor living project transformed a backyard into a complete entertainment destination with a luxury outdoor kitchen, a stunning concrete fireplace feature wall, a movable fire pit, and a spacious bar perfect for hosting family and friends year-round.

A Backyard Built for Entertaining

This project was designed around bringing people together. Every detail was carefully planned to create multiple gathering spaces while maintaining a cohesive, high-end design.

The finished outdoor living area includes:

• Custom concrete outdoor kitchen
• Spacious granite bar with drink rail around column
• Vent-free linear gas fireplace
• Large entertainment wall with TV niche
• Custom rolling fire pit
• LED accent lighting
• Natural gas utilities
• Outdoor-rated refrigeration
• Built-in pizza oven space

Whether it's football season, family cookouts, or relaxing evenings by the fire, this backyard was built to handle it all.

Custom Concrete Outdoor Kitchen

The centerpiece of the space is a 9-foot custom concrete outdoor kitchen built on a reinforced concrete slab.

Features include:

• Durable concrete cabinetry
• Beautiful stacked stone veneer façade
• Granite Level I/II countertops and backsplash
• Stucco finish on the rear screen wall
• Built-in TrueFlame 32-inch 4-burner gas grill
• Double access doors for convenient storage
• Outdoor-rated 24-inch TrueFlame refrigerator
• Dedicated space for the homeowner's Ooni pizza oven
• Multiple electrical outlets, including a GFCI outlet
• Hidden natural gas connection

Concrete construction offers exceptional durability in Florida's climate while providing a permanent, custom-built appearance that stands apart from prefabricated outdoor kitchens.

Elevated Bar with Granite Drink Rail

To maximize seating and create a natural gathering space, we added a raised granite bar supported by a custom concrete pedestal wrapped in matching stone veneer.

The existing column was also wrapped in stone and finished with an elegant granite drink rail, creating a seamless transition throughout the outdoor living space.

Underneath the countertops, integrated LED lighting provides a warm evening ambiance that makes the entire area feel inviting after sunset.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Feature Wall

One of the most impressive elements of this project is the custom concrete fireplace wall.

Standing over 10 feet wide, this architectural feature includes:

• Stone veneer façade
• Large TV niche for outdoor entertainment
• Two decorative side niches
• 60-inch vent-free linear gas fireplace
• Stainless steel fireplace interior
• IntelliFire ignition system
• Eight-color LED accent lighting
• Dedicated electrical outlets for the television and accessories

The result is a luxury outdoor entertainment center that becomes the focal point of the backyard both day and night.

Rolling Custom Fire Pit

To provide even more flexibility, we built a custom concrete fire pit on heavy-duty casters.

Features include:

• Stone veneer exterior
• Matching granite top
• Stainless steel burner pan
• H-style burner
• Lava rock media
• Access door for controls
• LP gas connection

The movable design allows the homeowner to reposition the fire pit depending on the occasion while maintaining the appearance of a permanent custom installation.

Professional Utility Installation

Behind every beautiful outdoor living space is careful planning.

Our team completed all necessary utility work, including:

• Natural gas lines hookup for both the fireplace and outdoor kitchen
• Electrical service for appliances and lighting
• LED transformer and remote-controlled lighting system
• Screen repairs for a clean finished appearance

Everything was designed to keep utilities hidden while ensuring reliable performance for years to come.

Premium Materials Make the Difference

Quality materials ensure this outdoor living space looks beautiful while standing up to Florida's heat, humidity, and storms.

Project finishes include:

• Custom concrete construction
• Natural stone veneer
• Premium granite countertops
• Stainless steel outdoor appliances
• Outdoor-rated refrigeration
• Professional LED lighting
• Natural gas cooking and fireplace systems

These materials combine low maintenance with timeless style, creating an investment that adds both value and enjoyment to the home.
