How to Build Panels to Make a Built-In Grill
When designing and constructing a built-in grill for your home patio entertainment area, you must build panels in order to enclose the grill when not in use. You can opt to use wooden panels alone, or you can add decorative aspects to match the surrounding elements of your home décor.
Items You Will Need:
- Tape measurer
- Two-by-four wood
- Circular saw
- Plywood
- Screws
- Power drill
- Nails
- Nail gun
- Take down the measurements of the front of the grill. You will need to know the length and the width of the area so that your panels will match the front of the grill.
- Cut the wooden boards so that you have six equal to the width measurements and two equal to the height measurements. If your grill is especially large, modify the amount of boards to match the height and width of your grill opening. When cutting these boards, use a circular saw so that the ends are even and have a clean cut.
- Create a rectangular shape with four of the boards, ensuring that you attach them with screws and a power drill. In order to keep from splitting the wood, create pilot holes before drilling the screws into place.
- Create a smaller rectangle with the other boards and secure them into place in the same manner.
- Cut a piece of plywood with the circular saw so that it fits the rectangle and attach the sheet to the rectangle with a nail gun.
- Add decorative pieces on the front of the plywood to match the rest of the landscaping design. For instance. If you have stone in this area, apply pieces of stone and grout so that it blends in with the surrounding elements.
