Reader project - Kathy's all-weather barbie

When my old timber barbecue finally fell apart, I decided it was time to build something more solid.

 

I figured that masonry would be the best option so drew up a plan based on using the existing low retaining wall as support.

 

I concreted the bench area on top, and recycled tiles into an easy-clean splashback. Leftover flooring was used for the doors then I installed the barbecue and hooked up the gas bottle. It cost about $300 all up.
